So you would agree with me that those who would say that killing liberals is wrong are imposing their narrow moral views on me and shouldn’t have government making and enforcing laws to restrict me. Excellent!

Judging by voting data and my fair amount of experience at looking at it, I would guess your religious beliefs would put you in the 15% to 20% for voting for the republican, your kind are overwhelmingly radical leftists and democrats.

You should pray to your gods that all conservatives start voting like Evangelicals, then they would never lose an election again, ever.

Actually, yes I would agree with you on that.

“Just a larger percentage of them than any other group. So where’s the complaint about them?”

Good points. Solution, articulating Republican Conservative ideology better. Romney failed that. Reagan didn’t fail that and he had no new media to help.

Got to remind those fearful of a Mormon president of this.

Can either of you name the group that was easily the most massively supportive, enthusiastic voters, by the largest percentage, for the Mormon candidate for president?

Now we’re getting somewhere. You would then support the repeal of all laws against murder!?!

O.K., among the 6 million self-professes Evangelicals who voted for Obama, how many are black

its a valid question given the high percentage of blacks who vote for Obama

if a high percentage of the Evangelical vote that voted for Obama was “black” Evangelicals, it would be valid to say race played a larger role in their vote than did their religion

You don’t have any data, you have only been flaunting a percentage figure. And your experience is BS.

Fact is 8 million evangelicals stayed home. Imagine another 8 million staying home and your percentage might as well be 97% to 3% for Romney. Wont make a difference.

Yeah, which is pretty much the point I’d been making all along.

If the best the GOP’s got going for it, is drawing 79% of Evangelicals… then it’s time to seriously start considering how to diversify one’s electoral appeal outside of this, rather than doubling down on capturing this particular constituency block.

You really need to grow up and do some more thinking on your causes and politics.

We have lots of data, religiously you fall into the hate Christian category, which usually means atheist, or on the fringe of that category.

“Don’t your anti-Evangelical posts seem a little, well, freakishly, misguided?”

I’m definitely not anti-Evangelical. Sorry you interpeted my posts as that way. By the way thanks for the stats.

From personal experience, I do know Evangelicals who voted for Obama and they cited Romney’s Mormonism as why they wouldn’t even consider him. They were also Black so that may have played apart in their voting decision as well.

Can you answer the 2 questions?

When 48% of Roman Catholics voted for the Mormon, and 79% of Evangelical Christians voted for the Mormon, and 26% of the Religiously unaffiliated voted for the Mormon. Don’t your single minded posts seem misguided?

Look, here’s the reality. People who self-identify as Pro-Life outnumber those who self-identify as Pro-Choice—but of course, this is a grey area of semantics, considering that only 20% of Americans think abortion should be banned entirely, according to this May 2012 Gallup poll: http://www.gallup.com/poll/154838/pro-choice-americans-record-low.aspx

So, you tell me how the GOP is going to win elections on a platform of “abortion should be illegal.”

So you do want the pro-life plank removed from the party platform, like Romney did, and you do support abortion, like Romney did.

You are beating a dead horse with your percentage. Try looking at the percentage that didn’t vote.

A platform of pro-life is fine; a platform of banning abortion wouldn’t be—unless you want to alienate the remaining 80% of the pop. who apparently disagree with that.

Not many individuals going to say they’re “pro-abortion”. I certainly wouldn’t want the government funding abortion or anything like that, nor Planned Parenthood and such. I don’t think that’s unreasonable.
