I didn't mean it in a sinister way. Conservative Christians are the Republicans' main supporters right now. When people said that the Republicans needed somebody who would energize "the base," that's who they were talking about. It's why Mitt Romney, who has very strong conservative credentials on economic matters, never stood a chance in the GOP race, and why Sarah Palin, whose idea of fiscal conservatism is putting a jet on sale on eBay (where nobody bought it) became the darling of the party. The Bush Administration was one of the least fiscally conservative of all time, yet they won two terms thanks to "the base."
Look at the issues that are at the center of the Republican Party these days - they're all the moral issues that are most important to the conservative Christians. People on this board might like to think it's all about guns and national defense, but it's not. There's room for gun control supporters in the GOP, but there's not room for pro-choicers anymore.
