In order for the Republican party to be more inclusive, they will have to defy Rush Limbaugh and James Dobson.
In the case of Terri Schiavo, we saw James Dobson demand that the Republicans federalize a state issue. Within five days Republicans called Congress back into session and passed the laws Dr Dobson demanded and George W. Bush came back from vacation (!) to sign it.
In 2009 we saw the Chairman of the Republican National Committee call Rush Limbaugh “divisive”, then have to crawl on his belly apologizing to Mr. Limbaugh over it.
Republicans will never be able to separate themselves from Limbaugh/Dobson. Ever. Those two control what Republicans think, do and say. And they will as long as they wish.
Show me one bit of evidence to the contrary.
Perhaps in how John McCain selected his running mate had his running mate selected for him?
I see no evidence whatsoever that Republicans even want to be more inclusive. Do you?
