I don't think that's what Armey is saying at all.

Dick Armey has been all over the media the past two weeks proclaiming that the leaders of the Republican Party must "stop kowtowing" to faith based organizations, etc.

During one interview I heard, he went so far as to say the GOP should in effect disassociate itself with the religious right.

I was stunned. Do faithful citizens not have the right to participate in politics?

Is he saying that he thinks the media have "dialed up" faith-based organizations and religious people for destruction, and that, there being no way to stop what is going to happen (as, e.g., with the homosexuality "debate" and the 1995 campaign of demonization against Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich), the GOP needs to beat a hasty retreat and distance themselves for self-preservation from the new target of media wrath?

I see. Thanks for explaining.

I think I've only seen him once in the last weeks and he wasn't talking about that at the time.

Sounds like another GOP fair-weather jellyfish.
