Again, I would recommend actually reading the thread and the material provided in it. This movement exists outside of the Republican party and independently of it, and it exists in other countries besides the US. George W Bush is a Christian Reconstructionist. Now, many Christians might say that that is the same thing as not being a Christian, but it is groups like that one that this thread is about, and not the forms of Christianity that most Christians would probably consider to be real the Christianity. This is why I titled the thread, "radical religious right" rather than "the Christian right". Unfortunately, however, the movement is growing in power and influence, and in many respects, IT controls the Republicans and not the other way around.
