re: #58 Anymouse

Senator Barry Goldwater predicted this when the GOP under President Reagan brought in all the evangelicals and such.

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.”

According to teabagger Christians, Goldwater was a Marxist just like Ike was. No wonder millions of people are walking out of churches and never going back!
