Piqued by Trump, Colorado Democrats make a play for religious voters

Colorado Democrats want to close the “God gap.” It’s the theory in political science that calling yourself religious and regularly attending services are strong predictors of your political party affiliation, and for the past three decades those voters have largely called themselves Republicans.

“We are here today to dispel a myth that somehow right-wing conservatives have a monopoly on faith,” Colorado Democratic Party Chair Morgan Carroll said from behind a podium in Civic Center Park last week. “They do not. Many, many, many Democrats — many people who have been in the party for a long time or who are new to the party — come from strong faith backgrounds.”

In the era of President Donald Trump, which has seen a family separation policy at the U.S. border and rollback of environmental regulations, the state party sees an opening to engage people in their churches, temples and mosques and encourage them to take an active role in shaping public policy with the launch of Colorado FAITH-ful Democrats. Conservative religious groups welcome the new kids on the block, but political scientists have reservations about whether the party can lure people of faith back to their flock.

[I'll say it: the Demonrat party is completely devoid of real devotion to the God of the Bible, and any Demonrat who says different is DECEIVED themselves.]

They're committed to the god of this world. Some of them may not even realize who that is. Jesus called him "the prince of this world".

“Religious Voters”?

I’d say most religious voters are just as evil as your typical tatted up gang-banger & blood-sucking politician.

Makes sense for them to cater to those ‘religious’ voters.

Taht's right -- and they're just as "from" that as they can get, and plan to stay that way.
