And that horrible sentiment:



Now many of our Christians have what I call the ‘goo-goo syndrome.’ Good government. They want everybody to vote. I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down. —Paul Weyrich, 1980


This is done with religious zeal by GOP fanatics. And they say there is no difference between the two parties?


Thanks, Egberto, once again you are so close to what is happening.
