You’re not a kook, it’s just that up until now you (and many conservatives) have WAAAAAAAAAAAAY overestimated the intellectual & rational abilities of your average human being.
I’ve often told my husband that if it weren’t for abortion, there would be no republican party. He scoffed, laughed, said I was crazy, but after seeing the love affair a large segment of the evangs have with Huckabee, he now knows I am right.
Good news is that this is nothing new, it’s always been this way— which is why the coalition came together in the first place. We just haven’t find the right “complete conservative” candidate yet (a “Reaganesque” candidate) to attract enough of the “swing voters” (aka, idiots/ lemmings/ shallow tards) to go along with us. And yes, the Great Ronald Reagan attracted idiots, for all the wrong reasons, but it was important to have their votes. Fred was ALMOST there...
Well said.
