Read my post and know what you are talking about before you go flying off the handle. Not all Evangelicals are religious bigots and I never claimed they were. Quite a few have friends who are Mormons, Catholics and Jews. Were it not so, you wouldn't see Jindal carrying the Evangelical areas of northwest Louisania. You wouldn't see a Mormon like Ernest Istook being elected congressman in central Oklahoma and you certainly wouldn't see a Jew like Eric Cantor carrying an Evangelical district in the Richmond suburbs.

I don't generalize about Evangelicals. My comments were aimed specifically about a vocal subgroup within that broad group who can be shepherded by a well-spoken religious bigot like Mike Huckabee.

Fred Thompson was a logical alternative to Mitt Romney and had Huckabee not played the religious bigot card in Iowa, Fred's campaign might have had a chance to get off the ground because it would have slowed what turned into a stampede for McCain.

Your chart, by the way, throws Mormons into a rather unnatural grouping, perhaps because their numbers are so small. Juding by the data in Mormon heavy counties in Utah and Idaho, they went for McCain by a bigger margin than "Weekly Attending White Evangelical Protestants". So I don't see them as a group which conservatives should be gleefully kicking to the curb as some on this forum delight to do.

Sounds the same to me, evangelicals, bigots, Huckabee etc. You sound like a bigot to me that has an anger towards Christians.

It is nice that you don’t claim that all Christians and Evangelicals are “religious bigots”.
