Theocrats vs. Anti-taxers: The Coming GOP Split

Theocrats vs. Anti-taxers: The Coming GOP Split

The Republicans continue to struggle with their priorities: tax cuts for the rich vs. bedroom behavior. Recent battle on that front as hardcore anti-taxer Grover Norquist is bashed by the theocrats:

"The Texas Eagle Forum called Norquist's presence at the gay Republican group's fundraiser 'traitorous,' adding, 'If he was a serious economic conservative, Grover Norquist would not have accepted the invitation or the honorarium for speaking at a fund-raiser for a group bent on the destruction of traditional families.'"

Ultimately the Gordon Gekko wing and the Jerry Falwell wing will prove to be as incompatible as segregation and civil rights were in the Democratic Party. Hard to predict how that realignment will shake out.
