Wishful thinking.

They hope the Christians fold while the Mooselimbs grow stronger.

Here is my bet ... Conservatives will be around a lot longer than McClatchy Newspapers.

First, the clout was always more imagination than reality. Second, this article is full of bias and efforts to lead the reader. Imagine any other group of citizens being treated as scandalous for participating in the political process. And the religious liberals have always been with us. That is nothing new. They were just ignored because their poltiical participation wasn't seen as a scandal to the liberal media.

The only change I see is in the Republican Party itself. They don't want the Christian vote.

Christians have a right and a duty to participate in the political process -- even rotten, phony, liberal Christians. If people get mad about it then they need to control their own irrational emotions. No one is calling for legislating theology. The separate spheres are perfectly safe even if we someday win both a life amendment and a marriage amendment.

“Steven Thomma”

The MSM is working quadruple overtime.

Evangelicals think F.Thompson is a vampire.
Guiliani is Reagan’s love child.
Dobson to run for pope.

Could they be more transparent. They think it is 1970.

It only takes one man that is faithful to the Lord, willing to do his will, and to strive to follow God’s word (and that includes in politics) to make a difference- Christian conservatives can easily come back all we need is one to say “Lord here I am, take me (use me)”.

Like the profits of Old..!

The only question is whether the religious right is going to take its ball and go home.

Personally, I am not.

When they resort to trying to demoralize Christians, God laughs.

guys who post this drivel are butt ugly and monkey stupid.

anybody with anything this side of a tin ear knows the glory days of atheism are over. (no unitarian could ever be elected president. there have been five elected over the last two centuries all before wwII)

anyone who attends anything besides a mainline protestant church—which are liberal and dying or dead — knows that church attendance is on a dramatic upward trend in the evangelical churches.

the power of evangelical christians is growing.

I believe the central fulcrum of this republican primary is the future of the party and social conservatives.

-Thompson represents staying the course, and it remaining a central plank. The fear among party operatives is that the republican party will win big in the south and lose everywhere else. Becoming a minority party, like happened in congress.

-Guiliani represents the full scale abandoning of social conservatives. I honestly don’t think the party had ‘evolved’(devolved?), to that point yet. But Guiliani is such a strong candidate that it brings the issue to an early head.

-Romney represents the middle ground. I believe he wants to appear hardline social conservative to the southern conservatives, but a moderate social conservative and non-big scary bible thumper to the north, midwest and west. It forces him into Kerry esque sounding positions.. And I say this as a Romney supporter, he is one of the most accomplished men to ever run for our presidency.

The party is at a crossroads that there is no easy answer to. Its easy to say just run hardcore principles, but it doesn’t do much good if you end up permanently locked outside looking in.
