While not as direct as I was expecting, I think this fits that bill.
Not only that, and this is the fun part. Look at page two. They quote this friggin guy..........
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^"I think if they want to be a viable party in two years the Republicans will need to clean house. The party would have to be purged (of the 'Christian Right')," said Mark Crispin Miller, an author and professor of culture and communication at New York University.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you google his name, look at his blogspot. No, on second thought, don't look at it.

This guy is a kook. A KOOK! Moonbat! Jeez. Though I missed that admission from Reuters. Thought, that's typical in such hitpieces. Quote rabid leftists without tagging them as such. No, he's some objective bystander.
I hate the media. I really do. Their dishonesty will always bother me.
*phew* I feel a little better after that rant.
Seems like this might fit the newsbusters mold, no? Feel free to post it if you'd like.
Iraqi and corruption were the reasons why the GOP got bounced. Notice, Republicans of every stripe fell from Chafee to Santorum.
I don't know if Bush gets it, but I'm pretty confident that there are a number of elected Republicans that do. If Newt could PLEASE be made RNC chairman, that would illustrate to all of us that everyone gets it.
Well this is useful. Just take our enemeies helpful "Advice" and do the complete opposet. We will be all right. We lost a battle Tuesday, we did NOT lose the war
Both factions are attempted to being played for fools here. I live in a pretty Christian right part of the World. I dont get a sense that Social COnservatives are all upset at the Republican party. I also wonder if moderates are all that upset about the Christian Right or just told they should be.
The Republicans will NOT win if they move towards the Center and abandon the so-called Religious Right. The Party needs to be the same party it was in the 1980's and 1990's.
I've never been impressed with Reuters that it has enough insight, understanding, or objectivity to permit it to say with any accuracy what Christian voters might or might not do.
Pretty simple, nominate Rudy Giuliani in '08, with a social conservative VP and a pledge (actually a restatement) to nominate strict constitutionalist judges. The unappeasable utopian segment of social conservatives will balk, but they will be replaced with far more independents/moderates/blue dems/social lib-fiscal conserv. votes and most social conservatives will pragmatically stay. Giuliani will want 2 terms, so that guarantees that he'll put forth strict constitutionalist judges in the first term. Most realize that with a Dem president they get NOTHING.
This a bunch horse crap ...
I just got the current issue of National Review in today and guess what? There is an article already in there stating the the MSM will bring out this BS. They do it everytime the REPS lose or do not do so well. They hope they will convience people their lie is true. I see through it. It is old hat. Kinda like Rep Presidents are dumb and stupie. Same ole MSM rant.
The 'rats are going to have their own problems with the morally super-superior, gay-ordaining, appeasement-brings-peace religious left and the gun-totin', anti-abortion conservative representatives and senator they've elected along with the backpeddling they're doing on immediate withdrawal from Iraq and impeachment.......
This Republican has problems with the religious right. Not all Republicans have to be white, born again christians, and we don't like the implication that we are any less conservative if we are not....
Those who believe in Christ should just shut up and sit quietly in a corner. That'd be best for all involved.
/s in case it's not obvious
Well .. anytime the GOP wants to dump the Christian right .. let 'em try it .. and they'll be out of power for another 40 years.
We lost because we pussyfooted around in Iraq, not because of the Religious Right. If we had real men like MacArthur and Curtis Le May instead of faggots like Paul Bremer and the Pentagon Pussies, we would have taken care of business in Iraq long ago. Does anyone think MacArthur would have left Al Sadr alive for a single day? He executed nearly 1000 Japanese, including Communist agitators. What did Rumsfeld and his armchair losers do? Prosecuted our men on trumped up charges on the sole witness of the enemy. They have disgraced our brave fighting men, and the whole lot of them should be thrown out on their asses with Rumsfeld.
