Actually, Rush didn't convince people the libs were atheists. The lib anti-Christians are just so vocal that everyone just assumed they speak for all the libs.
Fundies don't want to force anything on anyone. They simply want to be afforded the right to represent themselves, as everybody else is. To give people the opportunity to agree with them and vote for them. There's nothing wrong or bad about that. There's no reason an Evangelical can't run for office, or support a cause. People in this country have embraced the idea that Christians should remain silent when it comes to politics, and if they aren't silent, then the assumption is they're trying to "force" their views on people.
It's not true. That is simply people's prejudices and fear speaking. If Christians, by way of entering the political arena, are attempting to "force" their views on others, then so is every other politico in the world.
When it comes down to it, we all want everyone to see things our way. That's what a democracy is about. Everybody can have the opportunity to see if their ideas fly. And if the majority concurs, well, it's not suppression or tyranny that's taken place but democracy itself.
