"I've made this argument to my GOP friends for some time. Seems like the major push back I get is the religious angle. The dixiecrat types have a big overlap with the Bible thumpers - and once you start trying to make the argument to abandon the christian right - they get all defensive. It's like the annoying friend you are always apologizing for bringing along to your other friends. Pretty soon your other friends "are busy" because they know douchebag is coming with you. But when someone suggests you lose the guy, you say "but he's the only friend I have left" Well obviously."
