-George ‘Dubya’ Bush, October 11, 2006
“Those monsters! Extremists blatantly using religion as a way to achieve objectives! They must be stopped!”

“TUCKER CARLSON: It goes deeper than that though. The deep truth is that the elites in the Republican Party have pure contempt for the evangelicals who put their party in power. Everybody in...
CHRIS MATTHEWS: How do you know that? How do you know that?

He says some of the nation’s most prominent evangelical leaders were known in the office of presidential political strategist Karl Rove as ‘the nuts.’
‘National Christian leaders received hugs and smiles in person and then were dismissed behind their backs and described as ‘ridiculous,’ ‘out of control,’ and just plain ‘goofy,' Kuo writes.”

“Hey, what does he know? He is lying. He was just a special assistant to Fearless Leader for three years. In fact, the only reason that he is spreading these kind of lies is because he is a conservative Christian who was offended by the Administration calling evangelicals ‘nuts’.
