Christians have been the strongest supporters of the Conservative movement, getting out and working the phones and going door to door. It is unwise for others to deliberately alienate us by ridiculing what we stand for and who we are.

Yes, they have been strong supporters

It's the far right that is attempting to split the party ... they are not the base

And I am afraid that they think they have succeeded now, Mo.

You know how much some of these 'conservatives' hate the Republican party and all of us in it. It doesn't matter that we are conservatives. If we are Republicans, they despise us.

I am going to pray harder than ever for President Bush now. He needs protection, not only from the left, but from these angry, spiteful extremists who now think they've beaten him.

None of this is good for America.

It really isn't the "far right" per se. It's everybody who has ever opposed Bush for any reason at all. Buchananites, disgruntled employees (Fund, Chavez, Kristol) as well as the immigration fetishists who just want to strike a blow at the president.
