What do you consider the reason (s) for the phenomenon of the "Christian Right" as a political movement?

With millions dollars go to Bush, "faith based initiatives" and more than 100 senior employees of the federal government, training and education to Pat Robertson's Regent University (U.S. News & World Report ranks Regent level 4 below), it seems that our government and our politics are under the influence of certain "Christians" with a program of "Christian."

What did you find out? His organization, hundreds of thousands of people who come on Sunday to say that if not vote Republican, they will go to hell. Now that what I call incentive. That's how you get thirty percent of the population to pick someone, especially when seventy percent, only thirty-five percent of them will vote and their votes will be divided. But recently, many names have been sick of abortion and homosexuality, two very big things in the Bible, and I realized that the attention of at least one of us and the livestock on the land that God has given into our hands, was not supported at all. Charity, compassion for others, all excluded that this government is playing based on your property has been ignoring the rest of his story.
