It’s the nuts in the GOP who turned it into a religious organization more concerned with personal issues then fiscal responsiblity that destroyed the party.
Yes. There are good religious people who understand that without personal freedom and fiscal responsibility, all religious conservatism is bankrupt (financially and morally).
But then there are those who seem to think that Jesus got some Centurions to bust heads when people didn't agree with what He said. And they are some who have trashed the GOP.
