Aint gonna happen...
Finding a major news outlet backer I mean. For years, fiscal conservatives have "tolerated" social conservatives because they brought in the votes. It's a sure bet that if they don't need them anymore (and if Guilliani is the front runner, it looks like they don't) they aren't giving them one red cent. Sorry kids, they really don't like you after all. You were just the Jerry Lewis to their Dean Martin. A mealticket. Guess who got more respect when that partnership ended ("Jerry's Kids" aside)? Does anyone really believe you can have an unregulated market and a "culture war" going at the same time?
What I don't get is, for years the religious right have claimed that they represent the majority of christians and, by default as christianity is the largest religion in the country, the majority of Americans. So why are they having such a hard time getting their issues front and center? It must be so disheartening to discover you don't speak for as many of your fellow saved bretheren as you thought you did. Perhaps that's why their reluctant to take the plunge. Finding out you were wearing no clothes after everyone else did must really hurt. I'll be crying my beer for them (Oh, wait, I don't drink. Boy they just can't catch a break, can they?!).
