I'm not particularly in line with either, but then again, I neither watch The 700 Club nor do I live in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and haven't voted for Senator Santorum. Apparently, the people there seem to like him enough.
I, however, am not going to be so uttely predictable and boring as to suggest that either of these men don't have a lot of support in their respective wings of the Republican party. And that their comments - when inappropriate - may reflect poorly on the party as a whole.

See, I guess that's where we differ. When Falwell and Santorum speak, I assume their comments are refelective of a faction of morons who unfrotunately hold a disproportionate amount of sway over the policies of the Republican party. I don't end to associate them with the party as a whole.
By the same token, I view Michael Moore as an narcissitic opportunist who has taken his ability to make money by taking absurd events and quotes out of context and setting himself up to appear to be victimized by The Man. My personal feeling is that he probably holds a slightly greater amount of influence over the Democratic Party than Lyndon Larouche, who also regularly tries to hijack the party's name to serve his own addle-pated purposes.
It's really only the Republicans who want to give Moore any greater credit than that as an influence in Democratic politics.
