"Christian Right" = "Reagan Republican"

BZZZZTTTT!!! I'm sorry; the correct answer is "Christian Right" = "Buchanan (0.1%) Republican"

Got it, actually I think in a lot of ways this article is a relabeling of an old demographic. I believe it's:
Reagan Democrat = South Park Republican.
It's conservatism focused on fiscal responsibility and reading the Constitution. Let the morality be handled by the society not the government (a dividing line people on both sides of the isle have trouble seeing). That's something both South Park and Reagan pushed. Before people brand SPR's social liberals they should check out the Boy Scout episode where they defend the Boy Scouts right to kick out gays (not because they're anti-gay, but because they're pro-free association).

I don't think so Steve. If that were the case Gerald Ford would have received more votes than Ronald Reagan in 1976: he didn't. If that were the case the party platform would have it's prolife planks struck: they are there.

I do recognize the type of Republican this article speaks of. One of the characteristics the author does not touch on is that almost without exception they are a little to good to serve their country in uniform

This has been a characteristic of the "Kevin Raye/Jeb Bradley" style of Young-Republican I have been watching for a long while.
