Republicans v Religious Conservatives

The discussion between Tucker Carlson and Chris Matthews on The Chris Matthews Show.

=======================
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…

MATTHEWS: How do you know that? How do you know that?

CARLSON: Because I know them. Because I grew up with them. Because I live with them. They live on my street. Because I live in Washington, and I know that everybody in our world has contempt for the evangelicals. And the evangelicals know that, and they're beginning to learn that their own leaders sort of look askance at them and don't share their values.

MATTHEWS: So this gay marriage issue and other issues related to the gay lifestyle are simply tools to get elected?

CARLSON: That's exactly right. It's pandering to the base in the most cynical way, and the base is beginning to figure it out

From here.

Glad somebody finally noticed. But then, evangelicals are used to being told (and believing) six impossible things before breakfast and a trainload after - mostly to their own detriment. What's a little contempt from their chosen leaders?
