I didn't say "everyone" in the GOP. I said the hardliners. I don't know if the bible-thumping knuckle-draggers are as numerous as they used to be in the party, but they are among the most active at this stage of the process, and they have to be courted if a candidate has any chance.

I'm hoping for the day when the authoritarian theocrats split off from the Republicans and form their own party whose sole focus is to stamp out abortion and homosexuality. Rick Santorum can be their first candidate, they can get 1% of the vote, and then they can go f*ck themselves.
