Support from about a quarter of Americans who describe themselves as evangelicals was a factor in President George W Bush's two election victories. The Republicans will need to keep them onboard if they are to retain control of Congress in November.Those who are shilling forGiuliani or McCain as our next presidential candidate would be wise to remember this. I am not an evangelical, but I do share their political views and realize that Republicans cannot afford to amputate them from their "big tent."

I'm shilling for Giuliani...not because he's a conservative, but because he's the closest thing to a Churchill around today.
If you recall, Churchill was voted out of office only three months after the end of WWII.
I might be wrong, but I think Giuliani is a "war president."
Oh...and remember, we are at war.

Well, I am NOT Evangelical, I am libertarian, and I DO support Guiliani and McCain, and I vote, too.
I've been voting Republican for decades but if the party decides to pander to Evangelicals they can kiss my vote goodbye.

The reason the Pubbies need the SocCons is BECAUSE they are so willing to sit it out.

It makes no sense joining and building a political party if everybody is bipartisan.
Second guessing is not a strategy and capitulation is not a victory...
