That’s Kathleen Parker’s latest advice to the GOP:

Three little letters, great big problem: G-O-D.

I’m bathing in holy water as I type.

To be more specific, the evangelical, right-wing, oogedy-boogedy branch of the GOP is what ails the erstwhile conservative party and will continue to afflict and marginalize its constituents if reckoning doesn’t soon cometh.

This is sure to get the right wing all riled up. Of course Parker is right. There’s nothing wrong with trying to appeal to the religious, it’s when you try to pander to the religious extremists that you start having problems. Most religious people believe that politics is no place for religion, but the Republicans seem to ignore that.
