No doubt all these self-described Evangelicals who said they voted for Obama were just Mormon provocateurs out to make their main competitor, the Baptists, look bad!
born again...a distinction from Christening denominations who simply grant by virtue of birth
adherence to the Gospel..bigtime
Biblical literalism to varying degrees
heavy emphasis on Christ's death on the cross to wash away our earthly sins which if we accept can redeem even the worst of us
a lot of folks here think that it means non Catholic/Orthodox/Episcopal white Christian voter and they are quite wrong
it means a lot more and a lot less and it can include church going blacks who vote skin
or Assemblies of God latinos...there are a good bit of them...who vote skin
but usually it is associated with Southern Baptist, Pentecostals, and Church of Christ (restoration), LCMS, Nazarene, Southern Methodist, and PCA, and a host of other smaller denominations and black church groups
these folks did not stay home...none I knew anyhow...but somebody did looks like ...probably across the board given Romney's lackluster defensive campaign..which is why he lost even though demographics do steamroll us
this was our last easy chance and we blew it
in France during the religious wars when the term first became widespread it meant ALL PROTESTANTS ~
Supposedly there was some “evangelist” who convinced something like 1.6 million people to write in “Jesus Christ.”
Black “evangelicals” make up about 7% of the American evangelical vote. That is a Democrat race voting block no matter what liberals do.
my time in France in the 80s had nothing to do with religion
though I am partially Huguenot descended
i had fun driving fast cars, staying in Relais and Chateau listed joints
and chasing lovely French...petasse
Sure, there was vote fraud, but there is always vote fraud, so we all expected that. The Romney campaign and the Republican party obviously just haven’t done enough to counter that.
Whatever we blame this defeat on, whether it’s vote fraud, or demographics, or Chris Christie, it will still boil down to the fact that we should have been able to overcome those obstacles. We can’t just pick a scapegoat and then try the same old strategy in four years, like we usually do.
no, lets not exaggerate. This is salvageable
that’s from the Pew polls.... white evangelicals
An improvement upon that 50% of Catholics would have delivered Ohio and Pennsylvania.
And what benefit did Paul Ryan provide? None that I see
Oh no, it’s the Evangelicals’ fault, though. A ticket with a Mormon and a Catholic, Evangelicals vote for that ticket higher on a percentage basis than any of them, Mormons included.
Ridiculous. It’s either a dire lack of math skills on the part of those making these claims, or as you say, a desire to deflect blame from some other group.
At least they’re not very good liars and propagandists, not yet anyway.

For those who thought that, I can guarantee you that if Romney had won Tues. we wouldn't be seeing companies already laying off workers and cutting back their hours.
I wonder if the holier-than-thous have dependable jobs and couldn't care less about others.
We have to learn the lesson here and that lesson is that if are ever going to win another election we have to understand that is going to take all of us hanging together in our desire to defeat Democrat.
We have too many Republicans acting like children, that if we can't have our way, we're not going to vote. There is a reason we have primaries.
Hail, President Obama
and that includes all manner of liberal denominations like Squarehead Lutherans who are anything but conservative like the MoSyns
when folks here bitch about evangelicals not coming out enough they mean true believers...Gospel and emphasis of the Crucifixtion sorts...like me...fundamentalists basically
and being one I can assure very few voted Dem..I know one off the top of my head..out of hundreds
look at white vote Miss...the land of fundies
90% GOP vote
how good works Yankees who are called evangelicals voted...who knows...bad...even worse than Catholics is my guess
