This bullflop about our need to pander to everyone but the GOP base is being driven by the democrats with the help of their “moderate” GOP toadies.
I’ll be real glad when they figure out that it isn’t going to work and they walk away from FR till the next election.
me too
I’ll believe that the “evangelicals” are the cause of lost elections when the Democrats stop pursuing them.
After the loss in 2004, they formulated an announced strategy to “close the god gap”.
Some of this is achieved by casting their arguments in religious terms (charitable giving and socialism are essentially the same thing in their view). It is also achieved by convincing some religious conservatives to stay home (in 2006 it was the outing of two homosexuals in the GOP and in 2012 it was achieved by pointing out in hushed tones that Romney is a “m-o-r-m-o-n”).
