Discord Among Conservatives as Romney Picks Up Steam

[BumRushDaShow]

8. This is the social conservative's last hurrah

Their fearless "leaders" have been paying them lip service for decades - calling them:

1.) The "Silent Majority" (Nixon)
2.) The "Christian Coalition" (Reagan)
3.) The "Evangelical/Christian/Religious Right" (the Bushes)

Their elected officials have cultivated their votes, threw them all the red-meat that they could feast on, drained them dry of $$$... and then time and time again, let their issues wither on the vine (or perhaps more accurately, the REAL majority wanted to follow the Constitution and kept these extremists at bay).

So they, with the help of the teabagger astroturf, are once more making impossible demands as part of their last stand. And in doing so, have made the jobs of the RW lunatic fringe gasbags on places like faux or clear channel, more difficult - forcing them into all sorts of twisted acrobatics to reign in this herd to appear unified.

These folks don't realize that their agenda is basically in opposition to the neocons, big biz, libertarian, and fiscal conservatives.

I can imagine the history books of the future writing about this time.
