Will someone call the Waahmbulance for Ken Blackwell? "It's all the LEFT's fault for us losing!!!"
For several years now, there has been a tension in the Republican Party between the economic conservatives and the social conservatives that has only become more pronounced in the wake of their string of electoral losses.

The reasons for this tension are myriad and complex, but Ken Blackwell doesn't see it that way. In fact, he's got a rather simple explanation - it all the left's fault:

"Part of this divide between conservatives is due to the sanitizing of the public square of references to God. Not many years ago, there was no dispute between conservatives over basic talk about faith. People were not necessarily more religious. There was just a comfort level with general expressions of common faith, such as prayer, signs of the Ten Commandments, or referring to school vacation in December as Christmas Break, instead of Winter Break.

But years of enforced and increasing secularism has left people of faith to their faith, but non-religious conservatives to become increasingly squeamish over even basic expressions of faith.

...

While many secular conservatives do not agree with religious conservatives as to the nature or character of the source of our rights, they all agree that the source is not government. And it’s essential that they recognize there are those on the left seeking to drive a wedge between them."

That's right, conservatives are losing because they can't force their religion down your throats anymore.
