I agree. A lot of moderate Republicans look on religious voters - evangelicals and Catholics like the crazy aunt best locked up in the basement. But the truth is the GOP can't win without them. The drubbing the GOP received last fall is in no small part due to the fact the GOP scorned these voters. And the Mark Foley fallout was damaging in that it looked like the party didn't care about the values important to these voters. By nominating a liberal as its presidential candidate, the GOP would be sending them the same message: get lost. What do you think will happen in November 2008 if they take that message to heart? The GOP simply can't win an election without the Values Voters.

The question before the house is, can the GOP win with them when the choice is not George Bush v. John Kerry?

Everything hangs on the answer to that question.

The RINOs simply do not want to admit the United States is a conservative nation.

It really boils down to common sense and the voter. The entire Guiliani campaign is premised on the meme that the content of character can be seperated from the candidate.

Where have we heard that before?

When bill clinton was running for office and we were being told by the MSM character does not matter when it came to bill clinton's lying and affairs.
