Moreover, when we’ve heard the last Southern pol protest that God didn’t launch humanity with Adam & Steve (no, but if he had, the decor in the Garden of Eden would have been amazing), Republicans won’t be able to hide from their economic positions.

Hide? The whole TEA Party movement isn't about drugs or same sex marriage, it's all about economic positions, as in curtailing government and not spending ourselves into oblivion. It's the left that has to manufacture phony crises, push bills through without reading them, and use the courts to overturn the will of the voters.
