You are correct...more and more people view ANY Republican as part of the Christian Coalition. There are many that are concerned about entrusting the Country to the far right intolerant religious fringe. They’ve painted the whole Party with that brush and made it hard for voteres to get by that image.
Really? When? Doesn't seem to have been a problem till, oh, 2008?
The problem, has already been stated, is that the MSM and the Democrats portray us all as bible-thumpers. However, the solution proposed by you and others is to aquiesce and acknowledge that we are and "need to do better" rather than call them out on their lies.
Too often we capitulate no matter how BS the charges and quite frankly I'm tired of it.
Republicans didn't win for two reasons:
1. We ran as Democrats
2. Democrats ran as Republicans
As opposed to this fringe group.
God help us all, from the idiots trying to save the GOP.
Excuse me? Seems to me the intolerant ones are the RINOs and their fellow travelers on the Left.
Just look at any Keith Olbermann broadcast to prove my point.
