The Plutocrats vs. Hierophantnatics in the GOP

The Republican primary race just got real interesting with the declaration by Dobson and friends that they won’t support any candidate of the plutocratic wing of the Republican party who is not anti-abortion (that means you, Rudy!. For more on this topic see our old thread here). To think that fundamentalist Christians would just quietly vote for a Republican no matter what, is not to understand the nature of Christian fundamentalism in America. The plutocrats of the Republican party have a tough choice: either they must tie their boat permanently to the religious fundamental wing-nuts, or face defeat. Since the love of money is the root of all evil, I suspect they’ll have an aversion to Rudy and a conversion to some other more godly candidate on the road to Iowa.
