Christian philanthropist Howard Ahmanson has announced that he has left the GOP to become a Democrat.
“The Republican Party of the State of California seems to have decided to narrow itself down to one article of faith, which may be described as NTESEBREE: No Tax Shall Ever Be Raised Ever Ever,” he writes in a column.
This is how Timedescribed Ahmanson in their cover story on the top 25 evangelicals: “Money makes the Word go round, and this wealthy, conservative Republican couple takes a dizzyingly ecclectic approach to funding evangelism … The couple, both 55, now are warning powerful conservative Christians about the pitfalls of hubris in the aftermath of their victories over liberals last November.”
CT included the Ahmansons in a 2002 story on the “Patrons of the Evangelical Mind.”
