Deuce Kindred

[David Morris]

He coined the term "Big Tent," which is exactly the opposite of what
the Republican Party eventually devolved into.

"The late Lee Atwater was a hard-nosed Republican political operative
who was not above shading the truth to win elections, something that
he admitted quite candidly before he died in 1991 from brain cancer at
the age of forty. One of Atwater's grand political strategies, which
has more or less become the de facto policy of the Republican Party in
certain elections, especially at the statewide level across the
nation, was what he termed "The Big Tent." This meant that there was
room in the Republican Party for those who opposed abortion in all
instances without any exceptions and room for those who supported
abortion in a limited number of cases and room for those who supported
abortion all cases."
