I think this has more to do with the fact that they have the feeling that McCain and Republicans in general can't win in November, and you know how rats are about sinking ships. :D

"A group of U.S. evangelical leaders called on Wednesday for a pullback from party politics so that followers would not become "useful idiots" exploited for partisan gain."

Nothing here suggests they intend to give up on bashing fags though. I still see Jeebus canvassers asking for signatures on ballot measures to roll back the civil rights I have now.

I'm sure that my role as an atheist is to continue opposing organized stupidity. I don't see that changing until I die.

Yeah I'm with you. That's why we become members of suc forums as this and join like minded groups. Let's keep opposing!
