That’s the title of my piece today in the Washington Post’s “On Faith” section. Here’s the key paragraph:
In their quest to endorse a so-called “true conservative” these evangelical leaders have pushed well beyond their core competencies. I have enormous respect for many of the participants, but they have no more knowledge (and often less) than their rank-and-file supporters about finance, housing, and the military. Maybe, just maybe, their rank-and-file supporters are less interested in arguing over who’s been pro-life the loudest and longest but instead on which pro-life candidate can also trim the debt, keep Iran in check, and begin to restore the economic portion of the American dream.
