That quote should be reiterated over and over again. These are serious times and I don't have time for people who are not serious. These people that sat home on their duffs are not serious. How can you call Bush a liberal the very day the administration announces its dropping the ABM Treaty? Ridiculous.
Cal Thomas had an article this week about Pat Robertson resigning from the Christian Coalition and how the CC is now politically dead. I agree. If you can't motivate 4 million people to vote for a decent man with outstanding leadership qualities, then you are politically insignificant.
On the flipside, the last minute DUI story worked and no doubt played a part in the undecideds going 2-1 for Algore in the final week of the election.
Pat Robertson?
However, I really don't blame these people for staying home. For years, the media and left has been screaming that everyone should be able to participate in the political process, EXCEPT for the religious right.
I am not sure Republicans have done enough to defend their constituency of christian conservatives.
I also think the word "compromise" is not in the christian conservative vocabulary and much like the hard left groups who won't compromise: PETA, ACTUP; etc, they have become increasingly irrelevant to the mainstream political debate.
