Let me clarify my use of the term "fringe." Numerically speaking, the far-right evangelicals do not represent the majority of American's, nor do they represent the majority of Christian's and other faiths. What they have accomplished is a major political coup in organizing their beliefs into a powerful force that the Republican party must pay attention to.
I am not naive, but you chose to judge rather than to ask for clarification.
