How's that?
This is being spun, rightly or wrongly, as the only reason Mitt had to make this speech is because evangelicals are too blinded by religion to make rational choices. I’ve already seen and heard it. Not in the media, but with normal folks. Most people don’t view religion as a major factor in their politicians and this is being used to show how bigoted the evangelicals, and by extension, the GOP is.
Mitt is coming out looking better and the evangelicals are lookings like religious kooks.
You know, them. Somewhere. Out there, up in the hills. Or 'holler' as they call'm. You know, the millions of black tooth stumped, snake charming, pint bottle booze in the preachers coat pocket Eee-van-jell-icles. Those types.
High school graduates. Biscuit and gravy eaters, daughters in Daisy Dukes( not that there is anything wrong with that ), moonshiners, cousin marrying, jug eared.
We all know them. Somewhere. There's a hundred millions of them. Any moment they're ready to descend upon slick city fellers and shoot them with their squirrel guns. So, don't align yourself with these hill/swamp/ strawmen.
