WASHINGTON -- Significantly more monthly churchgoers are supporting the Democratic nominee -- Sen. Barack Obama -- in this year's presidential election than in the 2004 election cycle, according to a new poll.
(Excerpt) Read more at religionnews.com ...
I looked up "Faith In Public Life" (faithinpubliclife.org) conductor of the poll.
Their 'vision' states: Faith in Public Life envisions a country in which diverse religious voices for justice and the common good consistently impact public policy;
We all know what "justice" and "common good" is code for.
Did they count the mosque attendess too?
Well us weekly church goers swing to McCain so they can shove it. Yes, I know the poll is bogus.
What about weekly churchgoers?
So, we’re talkin’ about the dead-men-walking mainlines.
This is garbage. I know evangelicals who freaked when they saw his logo and the logo on his plane. A lot of evangelicals and others think he is “the one” but not the one you think. The anti one. I am not joking either.
Hmmmm...What churches have monthly services. Most churches I’ve ever been to have WEEKLY services.
Gonna be a lot of disparate people when BHO loses.
The next Obama “poll” will be along in ten minutes.
or us 3 times a day synagogue goers :)
BTW: It will be a poll of bi-annual “churchgoers.”
3 times a week for Baptists
At what Church did they conduct this survey?
Our Protector of the Perpetual Abortion?
church of satan?
I am getting sick of reading this pap. What church can endorse a proponent of infanticide? I just don’t get it, and I certainly would be leaving any such church and finding one that believe in the culture of life, not the culture of Democrat DEATH.;
Existentialists
Haha excellent point!!
Same here- I know a lot of evangelicals-and there isn’t a one who will be voting for the false messiah. Stands to reason though, that someone who refuses to put his hand over his heart, of course, wants nothing to do with a flag on his plane...
liberal poll...oh yes the Church of Satan (Pelosi)
What is a monthly churchgoer?
All that says to me is Regular Churchgoers by the thousands swing to McCain.
The Church of.......SATAN!!!!!!!
“Most churches I’ve ever been to have WEEKLY services.”
Yeah. The survey filters out weekly church attenders. It probably asked, “Would you say that you attend church weekly, monthly or only a few times each year?”
That is a skewed number of people. However, there are liberal evangelicals. I know. I teach at a Christian university and half the faculty are Democrat and spew the same liberal garbage you hear on MSM. (Bush lied, health care is a right, help the poor means government give aways.)

CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!
McCAIN TAKING THE ABUSE AND INSULTS FROM OBAMA AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK IS OUTRAGEOUS!
WE’RE NOT TURNING THE WHITE HOUSE KEYS OVER TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA- NOT IF WE ON FR, RUSH, HANNITY AND FOX HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!
FReep McCAIN/ MSM OUT.
HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS??
.
McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.
The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just ain’t gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.
FReep ‘EM OUT!
CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?
REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.
RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’
Take off the gloves, McCain!
Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!
Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!
FReep ‘EM!!!! SEND THEM THESE VIDEOS:
OBAMA CAUGHT STATING ACORN AND FRIENDS WILL SHAPE HIS PRESIDENTIAL AGENDA!!

What do you expect? They polled inter city church goers in Chicago, New York, Detroit, San Francisco, etc.
What does monthly mean, don’t most folks go every Sunday?
old people who want FREE STUFF
The think TAX RICH PEOPLE SO I GET SOCIAL SECURITY!!!
(after all they are on a fixed income from their tax free bonds)
And, horros, what if we go to Church more than once a week? LOL!
Believe me, it’s not Obama I will be voting for! LOL! What a farce of a poll.
More than three times a week for this Catholic — how about 7 days a week? Yes, I am at a service every day of the week.
“Poll: Monthly churchgoers swing toward Obama (Poll conducted by liberal group)”
Christian churches or islamic mosques?
“churchgoer” is a really worthless word to me.
My guess is it means "Well, I only go Christmas Eve and Easter, but I'll fudge a little since I feel guilty and say monthly."
Faith In Public Life
Founding
The 2004 elections brought a resurgence in religious advocacy for social and economic justice. Yet the Religious Right continued to dominate public discourse on issues of faith — primarily targeting issues of abortion and homosexuality — and virtually ignoring issues of justice and the common good. In December 2004, national religious leaders – including Jim Wallis, Rabbi David Saperstein, Rev. Jim Forbes, Rev. Bob Edgar, Sr. Catherine Pinkerton, Rev. C. Welton Gaddy, and Rev. Timothy McDonald — gathered in Washington, DC to confront the challenges facing the burgeoning social justice faith movement. They recognized the critical need for increased and effective collaboration, coordination, and communication on the national, state and local level. The meeting resulted in the creation of Faith in Public Life — a permanent organization providing critical organizing and communications resources to strengthen diverse faith movements that share a call to pursue justice and the common good.

Do these nitwits just sit at their desks and make this stuff up?
When I read in the USAToday article that the poll was conducted by a “non partisan group”, I knew immediately what it meant. So I went to their site for confirmation, and I was right !
“Non Partisan” in lib media speak = LIBERAL, but trying to sound credible.
“Right wing” or “conservative group” = Objective.
