Andrew Sullivan: American Conservatism is in trouble

[Emu]

I think part of the problem is that now that the religious right is in control of the Republicans, a lot of people who ten years ago wouldn't've given half a shit about politics of any kind are now suddenly supporting neoconservatives like they're made of gold. Even if their policies are very incongruent with a conservative philosophy. "As long as they're against abortion, gays and the poor, I'll vote fer 'em."
