"I don’t care who ya are. If you say you are an evangelical and you vote for a baby killer, you ain’t no evangelical."

Exactly. And that's what was so bizarre to me about this article. Why were Evangelicals ever for Obama?
How could they be with his abortion code?
How could any Christian be for Obama?
I'm Catholic and I don't know of any Catholics for Obama.
How could they be, and call themselves Catholic?
Same goes for any Christian.
We need to remind our Congregations of this fact.

IMO...

A “moderate Evangelical” is someone who goes to church sometimes. Liberals then tag them with the term “Evangelical” for the singular purpose of diluting and obfuscating the phrase.

The more people learn about Obama the less they like him.

It’s a strong pro-life ticket. The so-called lukewarm Christians are Christians in name only...if that. If they don’t support a strong pro-life agenda, and strict Bible-focused worship, then they aren’t true Christians.

The media has no idea what constitutes a Christian. The same can be said for a number of so-called Christian sects.

Wow. I feel bad for him. He spent so much time and money courting those folks.

What a moron.

Did he really ever have it?

It’s my belief that the American public will continue to relate to Gov. Palin in that “She’s one of us” and come November all of Obama’s lawyers would just be peeing in a forest fire.

2) The selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, an appealing antiabortion figure and the perceived attacks on her by the media, which led evangelicals to think the “elites” were against them. This sentiment has been skillfully stoked by the Republicans.

Stoked, my asset! People saw the bias and attacks for what they were, without ANY help from the Republicans!

They STILL don't get it!

"Did he really ever have it?"

? Support from Evangelicals? Naw. Not on any impressive scale. That wouldn't make any sense. NObama couldn't obtain the true Christian vote. But boy, has he tried. Ain't gonna work. Can't work.

The trouble with pro-abortionists is they try to have it both ways. They say they are against abortion but believe a woman has a right to have one. You can only be against abortion if you believe a fetus is a human being, otherwise there is no logical reason for being against abortion. You can't square that circle no matter how hard you try, and under expert questioning they look like morons.

Jesus said he would spit out luke warm Christians. I am afraid that because of how far the churches have fallen from scripture, God will end his mercy to and protection of America.

The media, and the Communist Party, hate Christianity, and have been working to end the American way of life, based on God’s eternal laws, for many years now. We are beginning to see the dire results of those evil endeavors.

But God will not forsake His children.
