Ralph Reed, founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, brought his message to Palm Beach County Wednesday, where he spoke to multiple area Republican clubs at the Binks Forest Country Club in Wellington.

Ralph Reed said that in 2008 there were 17 million evangelical Christians in America who were either not registered to vote or they were registered but did not come out to the polls. President Obama only won by 8 million votes. If even half of those people had voted he would never have won the election.

If evangelicals can get it wrapped around their head that Obama is worse for their Christian ideal than any Catholic or Mormon, then maybe they’ll dispell any prejudiced attitudes they might have against those religions and vote for Rick/Newt/Mitt....

I don’t know about Ron Paul.

I know I’ll vote for any of the four over B.H.O.

Sounds like Ralphie has some work to be done. I can guarantee that 90% of my neighbors will vote and they are all Mormons. Some might even vote for a real conservative and not Romney.

Little Ralph needs to get busy.

Obama got a much higher percentage of the Catholic vote than the Evangelical vote.

Reed is right, in so much as the math. Millions of Christians do not vote.

He fails to mention the REASON why they do not vote.

Scum like him who double deal with Casino Jack turn people off.

He IS the problem and a bigger problem than Obama.

Everyone knows Obama is bad, too many think these charlatans are doing God’s work.

They are not.

An attack on any religion is an attack on all religion. In light of the administrations recent decisions regarding the contraceptive mandate, “We’re all Catholics now.”

The black churches would largely be classed as “protestant” and “evangelical”; but when it comes to politics
(abortion, gay rights, Obama, and even anti-Israel),
they vote 90% down the color line—for whatever position the democratic party takes.

It'll not be one term if Romney is nominated!

Conservatives will never vote for Romney!

An attack on any religion is an attack on all religion.

I agree with you in principle...but an attack on a cult is not an attack on the truth! And before you get your knickers in a knot...I mean an attack on Islam and the LDS is not an attack on religion.

I get the impression that the evangelical voters are more principaled voters, and would not vote for someone with whom they did not agree or did not like. John McCain, for example, was someone that many Republicans felt they had to “hold their nose” to vote for, but a principaled voter probably chose not to vote. While that is admirable, it stuck us with Obama.

Evangelicals need to get involved, but the Catholic vote stands out as a bleeding sore in 2008.
