I can't believe I'm saying this, but the liberals were right. The evangelicals will destroy the Republican party. Remarkable how they've totally dropped the ball this election cycle voting for a loser like Huckabee merely because he's an evangelical. He's a total, big government buffoon and this fact seems to escape them. He is truly the Republican Jimmy Carter.
You can’t blame the breakup of the Republican Party on the Evangelicals. The leadership of the party was pushing Rudy McRomney at them and they were desperately searching for an alternative. Thompson got in late and didn’t really try to reach out to Evangelicals when he did get in. Really the only mistake that Evangelicals made was throwing their support behind Huckabee rather than Hunter. However, Huckabee is a dynamic speaker so its not surprising. Anyway, the party elites who pushed Giuliani, McCain, and Romney as the possible nominees are the people who deserve the credit for destroying the party - not the evangelicals.
If you look at the people that comprise the evangelical movement and see how easy it is for their pastors to whip them into a frenzy when quoting verses of Scripture, the conclusion I have painfully, slowly come to is they are not the brightest bulbs in the socket when it comes to discerning truth from the false, you would think it would be the other way around
