Christian Coalition

This powerful lobbying group clearly has its agendas. Outsiders beware. We wouldn't want to have Christians think there is anything important out there besides abortion and gay marriage, would we?

The article implies that the CC leaders say it is their "base" who would be dissatisfied if the organization decided to care about more than abortion and gay marriage. I think, however, that if the organization really wanted to make a difference in other places then it would use its power to tell its "base" why there are more than two things in the world for those who care about political morality to worry about. So I think that this appeal to the "base" is just a poor excuse from the leadership of the CC for its own desire to focus on only abortion and gay marriage; the base has nothing to do with it.
