re: #416 Sharmuta

I understand your point, but I don’t think that those conservatives who support ID are negatively affecting the party to that degree. First, who cares what left wingers think about the party? They aren’t going to vote for Republicans anyway and so any attempt to include them in a broader coalition is doomed to failure. Second, if I remember correctly the exit polls for the last presidential election in which voters were asked their top issue had religion way way way down the list. The economy, foreign policy, Iraq, and reform topped the list by wide margins.

I’m just not finding it plausible that this is that big of a problem and, contrary to what Newton believes, I am looking!
