The marginalization of the Christian Vote. Part 1.

Courtesy of WND, we have more background on the stifling of rational debate as Jerome Corsi relates:

In a heated conversation at the Friday banquet of Phyllis Schalfly's
Eagle Council meeting in St. Louis last week, Jed Babbin, editor of Human Events,
repeated accusations that I am a "black helicopter Internet conspiracy
theorist" for arguing that the Bush administration is pursing the North
American Union and NAFTA Superhighways through the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP.

In response, I observed that Babbin has taken Human Events in the
direction of becoming an apologist for the Republican Party, not a
critical forum for conservative debate.

Then Later:

The argument became even
more heated when I pointed out that many moral conservatives, including
myself, are tired of being threatened by Republican apologists of the
disasters that will happen if we fail to vote for Republicans.
Babbin predictably raised the specter of Hillary Clinton,
asserting that by attacking President Bush I was only electing Hillary,
the real enemy Babbin thinks we should be united to oppose.
I tried to explain to Babbin that I am much closer to Richard
Viguerie's position on the question, arguing that the Republican Party
should win our support, not demand it.

The Christian Vote has become increasingly marginalized; and we have only ourselves to blame. The "lessor of two evils" that has dominated "Christian" politics ever since Clinton was elected served only to put us in the position we are now; where there are no pro-Christian candidates in the top tier of either party. (And by their actions, it is obvious that neither Hillary nor Mitt are pro-life, pro-Christian, or pro-liberty in any sense of the word.)
