As frustrating and irritating as Fun-D'uh-Mental-ists can be, they can also be amusing. Take, for example, the fundie propensity for being completely oblivious to anyone's motivations but their own.
Progressives and liberals have recognized for years that the Republican Party's hopping in bed with religious zealots is not really a match made in heaven. Fundies are like the kind of plain girl so dazzled to be dating the captain of the football team that her legs go up in the air while visions of a big church wedding dance in her head. Her Republican suitor, on the other hand, is making plans to move on to his next conquest even as he says, "Yeah, ummmm ... sure I love you, baby. Now raise your hips a bit so I can get your panties off."
Usually a girl who falls for the blandishments of a suave but insincere cad is loathe to let it happen again. But with the fundies, one good line from the Republicans and the clothes start to drop faster than Bush's approval ratings.

The sadly amusing thing is the fundies keep falling for these lines again and again and again. You'd think they'd realize that with a Republican in the White House, a Republican-controled Congress and a Supreme Court that leaning further and further to the right that if the Republicans really wanted to make abortion illegal or take on an amendment banning same-sex marriage, it would have already been done. Granted, the Republicans have already worked on cutting taxes and helping out large corporations, but these were done to impress a couple of the Republicans' other girlfriends - Miss Wealthy and Miss Big Business. If these accomplishments can impress the fundies, too, then so much the better. It keeps the Republicans from really having to deliver on all those pillow-talk promises about gay marriage and abortion.
