Thus he didn't go to church and hadn't for a while and thus why he sent out some nobody to talk about 30 years ago, thus why he didn't breach the subject that is number one with Christian voters, thus so on and so forth...
He just didn't try to milk his faith for your vote. That may be difficult for some people to grasp as they believe that faith is about loud proclamations over bullhorns.
Grandstanding as you did above is quite the opposite of what most Christians want, but they certainly don't care to vote for someone that acted ashamed of them. Deal with it, just as most FR members will not vote for McCain, they know McCain is ashamed of many conservative principles. They know this because of his fruits. Fred had the opportunity to lay palm leaves down to Christian voters, instead he played the lukewarm centralist card. In a field full of centralist, with two candidates that sapped some religious voters up already that was not the wisest trick to play.
BTW... Mr. Hunter was my choice (as my tagline suggests), was it wrong for him to publicly make his profession of faith public too? Or was that bullhorning?
I don't think anyone noticed. So he's probably ok.
