re: #7 CuriousLurker

The GOP sold its proverbial soul to these people and are now beginning to realize what a bind they’ve gotten themselves all of us in.

It isn’t a bind per se; to them it’s a step forward. This movement toward Christian fundamentalism cannot be tempered because the very heart of fundamentalism is without compromise. It’s all or nothing; it doesn’t matter if it’s the Taliban or Christian fundies.

The party willingly sold itself to the religious nuts, starting clear back with St. Reagan. It’s not really new, just more rabid. It owns the party. There is no hope of recovery for the GOP without completely dismantling it, and they can not and will not bear the pain of that much introspection.
