“Now, what would happen if the Republican party lost its evangelical base? Can you say “minority party for Eternity?”
And what do you think will happen if the evangelical base is successful in taking over the Republican party, nominating Huckabee, who thinks that as a Christian, he knows what’s best for everyone, and will use the government as the means to force everyone to do what he thinks is best for people — all for our own good, of course, the Constitution be d^*mned — this is exactly what he wants to do.
Such vitriol.
I don't suppose any other Presidential candidate on the Republican side wants to use the government to "force us" to do what they think is best? Some want to build a fence on the border - because they think it's best for the people; some want to have a different tax code. I'm not sure what you think Huckabee would do that is so out of bounds.
I have never seen a Republican candidate for President who has been so bitterly attacked by the punditry. They fear the evangelicals might take over the Republican party, and all of their cherished issues - strong military, taxes, etc. would then take a back burner to the evangelical issues. Oh no!
Maybe the evangelicals will have a third party, and then we can all say: "Minority party for Eternity."
