Are the evangelicals keeping Republicans in charge again?

Question

Democrats need to vote or we are going to end up so far down in the gutter we'll never rise again.

Answer 1

Evangelicals unfortunately are a powerful voter block for the Republican Party, and their sheer size makes them a decisive factor in most elections. What is really sad, and even a bit comical about the entire scenario is that Republicans, after getting elected, don’t do much to promote the evangelical agenda. They merely pay lip service to Christian principals during election time, and then the very people they elect betray them. And yet, every election, without fail, the same cycle repeats of evangelicals overwhelmingly voting to put back the same leader who talks of Christian values, but never acts upon it.

Ultimately, it will take more than all of us, who are not evangelicals, voting for Democrats, to truly take seats and power away from the Republicans. In the final analysis, it will take the Democrats convincing the evangelicals that liberal thought, with its emphasis on compassion and magnanimity, has more to do with the teachings of Christ, than the lip service to family values that Republicans utilize every year.

Answer 2

It will be interesting to see how much support the GOP gets from evangelicals, after the Foley and Haggard scandals.

Answer 3

they are trying very hard to keep bush gang looking like saints no matter what they do. but if there was a Democrat in office doing the exact things, they would be screaming bloody murder. i think the lord might call that hypocrisy.

Answer 4

I already voted Dem. by absentee ballot, not to worry:) I do know we need a change having one party in power leads to corruption. It's time for a change.

Answer 5

No the evangelicals have enough of their own problems.

Answer 6

It's not the evangelicals, it's Diebold, et al.
