Imperfect elections and flawed candidates often make for complicated and difficult choices for Christians. But sometimes historic moments arise when more is at stake than partisan politics--when the meaning and integrity of our faith hangs in the balance. This is one of those moments. A significant mistake in American politics is the media’s continued identification of “evangelical” with mostly white, politically conservative, older men. We are not those evangelicals. The media’s narrow labels of our community perpetuate stereotypes, ignore our diversity, and fail to accurately represent views expressed by the full body of evangelical Christians.

Wow - I guess they’d have a real problem reading the Old Testament when God tells Israel and her armies about when fighting certain foreign tribes to kill man, woman and child.

Also - didn’t they ever read the Ten Commandments?? Mainly “Thou shalt not bear false witness” ????

....Rev. Dr. Tony Campolo.......

Campolo is an evangelical protestant the way that Frank Schaeffer is an Orthodox Christian!!!! They both put “progressive” politics first! PHOOEY!!!!

The real problem is that “racist” now includes anti-islam, and also Americans who do not want the US to become a Third-World country. PHOOEY again!!!!

Guess they don’t care about all the black babies who will be sacrificed when Hillary and her minions repeal the Hyde Amendment.

It’s a problem, most recently manifested by Newt Gingrich.
He is anathema to strict values voters with no thought for Newt’s superb political acumen. Rather than have a bigger tent to attract more voters, they settle for a sno-cone or don’t vote at all. It’s called letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

They have the discernment of a wet noodle. Pathetic. Breathtakingly naive.

The things that Hillary Clinton has done are a million times worse than all of the things Donald Trump has said

This particular wing of evangelicals is largely responsible for what's wrong in the church today.

And if they stay home for this election and throw the win to Hillary Clinton, they'll be responsible for what's wrong with much of American in general.

I won't soon forget either.

Ah, keep repeating the worn out meme that Trump is a racist, and it might become “true”.

The group claimed: "Whether we support Mr. Trump’s political opponent is not the question here."

Oh yes it is! As much as you whine about Donald Trump, Hillary is by orders of magnitude a more demonically evil threat to all Americans, of whatever color. So knock that racist or feminazi chip off your shoulder and start using the brain God gave you!
