You just wrote "the religious right can't complain." Surely you're not actually that naive. What the religious right does is complain. It's their ONLY strategy!

I very seriously doubt a secretly-gay congressman would be at all acceptable to an Apostolic Lutheran or a Southern Baptist, regardless of that congressman's voting record. It's all about character with the religious right; they only care about voting record as it reflects character.
