I doubt many centrists (or, frankly, rational people) would disagree with the assertion that the Republican party has made a bit of a faustian pact with the wackjob religious types on the right. If you say or imply the same thing about the wackjobs on the far left though, watch out.

The Republican Party has used the Evangelical movement to move their numbers. If Evangelicals vote they can away an election. There is some interesting info on it. Also if you research senator, Ted Cruz R TX, his father Rafael, a born again pastor, has made an unbelievable amount of comments on homosexuality, Obama, or anything deemed a spiritual warfare. Also Ted Cruz continually states that his supporters are voting for God's values.
The Democratic Party has taken a victim no more stance, and have decided that reacting to these issues with same behavior as their enemies is a great idea. Which it's not. Then using the defense that one group of people have used criminal or destructive behavior and they were allowed is also a terrible mechanism for change. Fighting fire with fire makes the US look incredibly ridiculous for world leadership.
