Are Evangelicals really that stupid?
What is stupid about supporting a man that is ardently pro-life, opposes the homosexual agenda, supports abstinence teaching, backs homeschooling and would fight against the attempt to cleanse religion from public places? It makes perfect sense if those issues are most important to a person and a more conservative candidate isn't touting those issues.
I wouldn’t call it stupid. It’s the same problem Bush has, in another form. You can be trusting in your private life, and always think the best of people until they prove otherwise, and in many ways that is a virtue.
But in public life you have a duty to the common good, which means you should be less trusting, less nice, less ready to turn the other cheek.
