I am a three legged stool conservative, and I value the religious right, but if this continues to prove out, it is greatly disturbing. This is the wing that gave us Akin, who pretty much downed the whole campaign nationally. That ridiculous quote reinvigorated the war on women meme that had pretty much died out in the spring. It also gave a slew of Senate candidates fodder to win over women. It is not a coincidence that Warren in MA recovered from bad polling immediately after playing the Akin bites in her ads. Those words drove at least 5% of women right out of our party.
If Evangelicals want a seat at the table, they need to show up and vote every time like the rest of us. Fiscal and military voters are always there, whether the candidate is ‘our guy’ or not.

Your complaint is against Evangelicals?
The people that vote 75 and 80% republican?
Catholics as usual, voted democrat, and the complaint is over the Evangelical religious right?
The atheists and agnostics are OVERWHELMINGLY democrat, so they naturally vote for their party, they are the religious left.
