In most countries they would be called traitors

Frank Schaeffer is an Evangelical who voted for Obama. He and his father, Francis, were some of the people who got the Religious Right movement going. The son now says the GOP is nothing but religious nutcases who would take the country over the cliff to prove America's moral decline, neocons who think any war is a good war, and the backwards rubes who don't know how to think for themselves and need Rush to explain it to them. 20 million people don't represent much in a 300 million nation except they happen to be loud. He has written the book Crazy for God, saying that believing the way many Fundies do will make you crazy. This link is an open letter (and a wonderful rant) to the GOP and includes an 8 minute interview on the DL Hughley Show. It is posted on the left-leaning Huffington Post where he is a regular contributor. I wish more media outlets would use him for "balance."
