Mr. Brownback, an evangelical Protestant turned Roman Catholic and a former Kansas agriculture secretary, said he would focus on reviving faith and families in America; combating abortion, poverty and wasteful government spending; opposing same-sex marriage; and revamping Social Security and the federal tax system.
Doesn't all of the above sound vaguely familiar? These are the same things that George Bush ran on and some he even tried to implement. Of course they all failed.
So here comes crazy, right-wing, bible thumping, evangelical Sam Brownback! Now he says that he is the real deal. Which means that the right wing evangelical vote is all locked up.
However I believe that Senator Brownback will find that actively courting this extremist group is going to marginalize him and keep him from having any real shot at getting the Republican nomination.
Though if he does manage to get the Republican nomination, if the evangelicals are really that influential, then he will be easy for any Democrat to beat in the general election. I think that it is clear that the majority of Americans will never allow a religious extremist back into the White House.
We may be slow, but we are not that damn slow!
