Well, I thought we were talking about the GOP in general and their general view toward Conservatives.
The candidates we have now just prove the point. The GOP will never allow another candidate to be promoted simply on the grounds that they are Christian. That’s as it should be, but too many Conservatives have that line of demarcation ... which divides the Conservatives, makes a bunch of racket and brings the MSM vultures running to gleefully spin it however it best serves their interests.
But the flash point that is religion is becoming more and more of a liability, and the GOP has no option but to steer hard away from it. Anything that sounds patently “conservative” nowadays is equated with “religious nut”.
Meanwhile, the Democrats have church rallies. Go figure. Their brand of religion isn’t view as “kooky” it’s viewed as “homey” and cultural and authentic.
It’s been an artful and tedious process by the MSM but nonetheless effective. Thus, the darling of the Media, John McCain. Who must be scratching busily at all the flea bites.
God has protected America the last seven years. Why?
I’m not sure that this is completely true. Sure, the GOP is not going to nominate a preacher (i.e. Huck) but will nominate someone who uses their religious values as a moral compass....Keep in mind GWB was elected twice - even amidst the height of his hatred in 2006.
