Reply #1: I think the religious extremists have been discredited [View All]

Whether or not this is a lasting phenomenon is anyone's guess. Remember, wingnut preachers have a full three years to do damage control until Jebby announces his intention to inherit the crown from his big brother.

Some of the dumber ones will only remember dimly that Jebby was on the side of "life," but not the kind of life he was grandstanding about.

The GOP truly did make a deal with the devil when they allowed Reagan to give the party of fiscal responsibility over to the end times lunatics. I sincerely hope the old Goldwater types retake their party, but I also know that losing the religious extremists as a voting bloc will likely keep them out of power.

My guess is that the party will now bend over and twist itself into a pretzel to try to keep the loonies while they sell out their fiscally conservative base.
