'Secondary Virginity' and Slightly Pregnant
The so called Christian Right, Christian Conservatives, recently met at Amelia Island, Florida, to discuss presidential candidates who fit their agenda. They are going to miss G.W. Bush, a stalwart supporter. David Kirkpatrick's report in the NY Times "Christian Right Labors to find '08 Candidate" contains very little that is new. Participants in the meeting included Rev. Jerry Falwell, Grover Norquist, Paul Weyrich, as well as presidential hopefuls who came to court them. It was something Mr. Norquist said that lightened up my drizzly, grey Sunday morning. Needed something to laugh about and I found it.
| NY Times Mr. Norquist said he remained open to any of the three candidates who spoke to the council or to Mr. Romney. He argued that with the right promises, any of the four could redeem themselves in the eyes of the conservative movement despite their past records, just as some high school students take abstinence pledges even after having had sex. “It’s called secondary virginity,” Mr. Norquist said. “It is a big movement in high school and also available for politicians.” |
Politicians and 'secondary virginity'. Mr. Norquist got that right. The line-up did not include a woman aspirant but if one should emerge then she could be slightly pregnant.
