If they did; they probably voted for Romney; but were switched to Obama.
80% isn’t a reliable base. If it was 90%+, then, maybe.
I think the GOP alienates more voters than it gains by trying to appeal to ‘Evangelicals’. It’s perceived as a Theocracy party, and in some sense that isn’t wholly inaccurate considering how close Santorum came to winning the primaries.
Excellent point...
Evangelicals are the closest thing to Marxists and Muslims. Birds of feather.
The majority of Republican voters are Protestants of one kind or the other. They are the party. If you don’t care for Protestants in your party you can become a Democrat. They are dominated by Godless, soulless, alcoholic reprobates who molest children.
Actually, none of us have ever seen the Republican party appeal to Evangelicals. The reality is Republicans ARE Evangelicals or they are Catholics ~ and that’s pretty much that story.
Gentleman, your bus is here.
I'm certainly no Mormon (it is a cult), but Romney should have exposed Obama for the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda condoning Muslim that he is. That would have made the difference for the uninformed Evangelical voters.
No...I can't. We were dealt a hand, some did not like the hand dealt, but there it was. NOV 6th was not a time to FOLD.
Voting Principles was not a virtue this time, it was the death knell. You want to own that, it's yours.
My first choice was Newt Gingrich, but I am certainly not going to desert my parties CAUSE to be rid of Obama.
What I will concede on is the FRAUD.
80% isn’t a reliable base. If it was 90%+, then, maybe.

Its the best the Republicans have. No other demographic comes close. If the dems can pander to blacks, gays, latinos and win elections with that small minority percentage, then why cant Repubs run a strong Christian SoCon candidate?
I’ll tell you why. Because many Republicans are not SoCons and they resent even hate the Christian right position. Want proof? Look at this thread. Mention the name ‘Huckabee’ and see the nasty anti-Christian remarks that are made. Even here at Free Republic.
So what can Rove and the GOP-e do? If they follow the lead of true conservative Evangelicals and consider a Huck or a Palin or even a Newt... they piss off too many RINOs. And besides... the general population will never elect a Christian anyway.
Not any more.
2 corrections. McCain got almost 60M votes. Romney currently has 59.4M, with many votes still uncounted. CA, which has only 71% of the total counted, may add a million or more to Romney's total. I believe he will exceed McCain's 60M.

If they voted for obama, they are not Christians!
You doubt it? Review the campaign threads here for the last year or so.
Its time to trash the evangelical base and form alliance with any and all kinds of like minded conservatives regardless of race or religion and rebuild a purely conservative base.
Correction - Romney currently has 58.4M.
I can't figure that one out. So what if 80% Evangicals voted Romney? When 2.1 Million voted OTHER and even JESUS himself as a write in, someone said they voted Geo. Wash.
Didn't want to vote for Satan they said. ROFL
Outside of the FRAUD, Romney sure could have used 2.1 million saner heads.
What were these kind of people called in Scripture...Oh yeah. STIFF NECKED.
