re: And one wonder if, since the Hispanics voted in greater numbers than Evangelicals did, you'll be quite so willing when the Hispanics "come calling" with their demands)))
Actually, why not? If they vote, if they have supported us, if they have concerns, why not listen? And, don't assume that Hispanics are Catholic. Huge numbers of them are evangelical. Who owns the table, and who cuts the pie? Not Michael Barone, not me, not you.
Since the election, I've watched some of the "elites" and "intellectuals" among conservatives suddenly rush to discount the validity of the evangelical vote. Brooks, Krauthammer to name two. Forgive me if I suspect that they'd just like to cut conservative Christians out of the Republican party because...because...well, they're just plain icky. Southern and a little red-necky. The poster that expressed resentment that he feels like he's being told, "Now that you've voted, shut up, because you don't exist, because I don't want to have to rub elbows with you"-- I know exactly what he's talking about.
As for Dobson, I once worked for the guy. I don't like him. He's cold-blooded and a plain old sexist. I don't particularly like him attempting to speak for evangelicals, when he's really an entrepeneur and ought to be speaking for entreneurs. But I do get my back up when he's being told to shut up "because Evangelicals didn't make all that much of a difference, anyway."
Yes, we did.
But I see you won't stop torturing people's posts to make it sound like they are saying something they are not, to suit your agenda, no doubt.
