Piqued by Trump, Colorado Democrats make a play for religious voters
The Broomfield Enterprise ^ | September 29, 2019 | Anna Staver, The Denver Post

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 can see their slogan now - “Vote for us - we are faithful supporters of gay marriage, masturbation lessons for 6 year olds, et al”.

Nothing proves it like their beloved Democrat Mayor Pete.



Matthew 24:37-38 New King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

Pray tell, what religion promotes murdering innocent babies in the womb, or out of it?

Kind of went all the way didn’t they. Gotta wonder what’s really going through their minds.

The party of gay marriage, same sex bathrooms and abortion anytime anywhere now wants to go after religious voters. That’s pretty laughable on its own. Evidence that beneath the media protective screen Democrats know they’re out of touch and in real trouble with mainstream American life!

Banning prayer in schools, and in public buildings, are Democrat/SJW demands.

Good luck with changing actual thinking people's minds.

Democrats, however, are easy to hoodwink...

Hey you need to check your democrat platform. Some years back your convention voted not to have God anymore. Fact.

Yes, there were many examples of "Democrat faith" during 2008-2016, especially. Nothing says "messiah" - oops "anti-messiah" worship like Barack (and Mooch). Oh he may or may not be, but he certainly does a fine impression. His followers do a fine impression as well. I'm NOT saying it's him. I AM saying liberals and Leftists the world-over are ready to accept it. And that includes America's Democrats. The proof is below.

Could be. Hang on for the Yahoo pics of a 2019 Gay Pride parade in New York City. See the guy who looks like Chuck Schumer’s bodyguard. He went with brown shoes that day. Might have looked OK but probably not great for ..... marching.

There’s a big difference between “religious” and “Christian”. Satanists are religious, and the RATs have them already. Christians will not turn to the party of murdering babies and homosexuality.
