Stop with the misquotes also. Where did I say all Christians?
You should join the press corps.

Falwell brought a large amount of votes yes. Just as the parties court prominent black, hispanic, gay, jewish, etc leaders most of whom are less than stellar individuals.

When you make sweeping statements you are not being misquoted. When you say that the GOP recruits the Christian right without qualification then it is assumed that you are including the entire demographic.
