re: #66 HoosierHoops

So this is what it comes down to…The GOP being jacked back in time trying to bring back the 50’s in both morality and politics…

They’ve been on this road for 40+ years. This is an entirely self-inflicted wound for the GOP. They spent decades courting the ignorant, the religious bigots, and the total nutjobs and now they’re paying for it.

Evangelicals Consider Pushing Gingrich, Perry To Drop Out And Back Santorum

A prominent evangelical Christian said Friday that if Rick Santorum continues to surge in the polls and does well in New Hampshire and South Carolina, Christian leaders are planning to ask Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry to drop out and get behind the former Pennsylvania senator.

“There is real concern that [Mitt] Romney will win without having to face one concentrated effort of a conservative challenger,” Richard Land, one of the most well-known Southern Baptist leaders in the nation, told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.

“What I hear conservatives saying is we need to keep talking about this and we need to let Gingrich and Santorum and Perry continue to make their case, but at some point, earlier rather than later, we need to try to unite all of the social conservative forces around one candidate and have this great debate that so many people want to see between Romney and the non-Romney,” said Land, whose official title is president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.
