Faith or Competency?

I promised Streak that if I could find the link to this article I would post it. I read it in my parents' local newspaper while visiting my grandmother. The article has a good take on how the standstill of the abortion debate and gay marriage have molded the Republican platform and how conservative voters in the next election are looking for more. Are Republicans going to refuse to answer those concerns? Its worth a perusal.
Voters looking for basic competency in next president

Interesting. It will be interesting to watch. I wonder how Rod Parsely will respond. I caught him on his telesermon pushing his new book as the answer to all the big questions of the day.

I hope this trend is a good one--that Republicans will turn toward some semblence of competence and good governance over ideological blindness.

I wonder which direction this election will go--now that the right has no talking head; at least not one it "trusts" yet. It seems many conservatives are not taking Dobson seriously anymore. Have you noticed this trend?

I won't waste my time reading Rod, btw.
