The conscience of conservatives

By E.J. Dionne Jr.

... Bannon .. clarified the stakes at a Moore rally .. Tuesday night with a malicious and spiteful attack on Romney. The former Massachusetts governor tweeted this week that having Moore in the Senate "would be a stain on the GOP and on the nation."

Bannon's response? "Judge Roy Moore has more honor and integrity in that pinky finger than your entire family has in its whole DNA" ...

Thanks to Bannon .. this is no longer just a race between Moore and .. Jones ... It is .. a decision by Republicans about who they are.

It is also an important choice for devoted Christians. Do they really want their faith defined by those who tried to justify Moore's alleged relationships with young teenagers by invoking the holy family and saying that Joseph was older than Mary (which, besides being absurd, is biblically unfounded)? Or by arguing that an interest in young girls might be explained by a desire for "a large family," as a professor at Ouachita Baptist University wrote? ...
