...it was the Republicans’ big-spending, big-government ways that helped ensure their defeat in the 2006 midterm elections. It wasn’t evangelical Christians or so-called "values voters" who deserted Republicans. Roughly 70 percent of white evangelicals and born-again Christians voted Republican in 2006, just a fraction less than in 2004.

Michael Duncan, RNC chairman, may be interested to hear your opinion on this. Let's send him some emails telling him how we'll respond if the Republican Party platform contains calls to ban Internet poker like the last one did. He's from Kentucky, so I'm sure he noticed what appealing only to social conservatives got him in this month's statewide election.
