I’ve laid out Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, as have others.
As long as we run the party as an extension of someone’s church, we fall into their traps.
No one wants to hear it and thinks more theolgically based candidates will work better.
It hasn’t yet!!!
Saul Alinsky didn't force Mark Sanford to take a mistress after criticizing Bill Clinton for doing the same, and Saul Alinsky didn't force Sanford to use taxpayer dollars to fund trips to see that mistress. He did that all by himself. The Rules for Radicals aren't needed when we have clowns like these on "our" side.

I agree.
I think what I'm saying is that as long as we run the party like a church, we cannot even pretend to be shocked when people fail & the media/the public at large calls us on it.
No one wants to hear it and thinks more theologically based candidates will work better.
You've got my vote. I'm more than a little tired of politicians preaching piety while living a lie. Frankly, I'd much rather see them quietly living lives of morality than talk about it.

I don't know what it will take to change things. A significant portion of the population seem to need/want being preached to by politicians.
But, as I said, as long as that happens, the fallout will also happen, and that dims the chances of the GOP regaining a majority.
