Like I said, that’s a red herring. Anyone who is refusing to vote for the GOP because Jesus gets mentioned at some fundraiser, is not going to vote loyally for us anyway. So, I can only assume Goldberg is trying, like the rest of the GOP guys, to find another excuse to sell out on social issues.
It’s not that people don’t vote for the GOP because of the religious overtones.
It’s that people come away with the impression that they’re not welcome in the GOP because of their religious bent. Then they are welcomed elsewhere and their voting choices follow from that.
A lot of conservatives don’t seem to understand that voting decisions aren’t always rational and can flow from cultural affiliation.
