The influence of evangelical Christians in the Republican Party hurts the organization and divides the country, former U.S. Sen. John Danforth said during a visit to the Bill Clinton School of Public Service on Wednesday.More here.
Danforth, a former Republican senator from Missouri and an Episcopal priest, met with students during a seminar and held a luncheon talk at the graduate school.
"I think that the Republican Party fairly recently has been taken over by the Christian conservatives, by the Christian right," he said in an interview after his talks. "I don't think that this is a permanent condition but I think this has happened, and that it's divisive for the country."
"Christian conservatives"....I wonder what he would prefer - spineless liberals like himself? More Socialists? Islamofascists? Danforth has lost his way. He's been lost for a long time...Maybe it's his special "Episcopal priest" training? As I understand it, he is a supporter and defender of the Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer research (cloning) initiatives in the state. The truth apparently means nothing to him. He is in serious need of prayer and conversion.
