The problem is that Evangelical voters did not turn out to vote on Tuesday, and this has become a persistent problem for the GOP since 1992 (2004 being the possible exception). You would think, of all elections, this would’ve been the one to vote in - but many of them chose not to vote rather than vote for a Mormon. GOP will probably abandon some social issues that Evangelicals hold dear as a result. Evangelicals will complain loudly but no one will listen, because their bark is always worse then their bite. Social issue conservatives face a bleak future indeed.

Well then, the evangelicals deserve what they get, which is to be ignored.

The world is run by those who show up. Staying home and complaining about a “cultist” running for the office isn’t going to win anything... because guess what?

This country is going to elect a Mormon a heck of a lot sooner than they’re going some of these unctuous, sermonizing whinges.

I personally think we should send them packing; Evangelical zealots are killing the GOP and doing so quite well.

Can you link me to an article with some facts about evangelicals not voting in this election?

Highly overstated and non-rational reason.

What is more likely, is that they would not vote for a man who actively supported Abortion and the Gay Agenda.

You see, God tells us both of those are sins, and one of them he calls an Abomination.

That's the real reason.

Romney, being a Bishop in the Mormon church, a church that also considers these two actions sins, knew this as well.

It's extremely hard for a sincere Christian to vote for a man who is knowingly supporting two major Sins, especially when the Bible warns us to stay away from such people.

From the Christian Post: found at - http://www.christianpost.com/news/exit-polls-obama-gains-with-latinos-romney-gains-with-evangelicals-84574/

Despite concerns by some that Romney's Mormon faith would hurt his chances with evangelicals, Romney did better than McCain in 2008. McCain had 74 percent and Romney had 78 percent of the white evangelical vote.

White evangelicals' share of the electorate remained the same. They comprised about one in four voters, 26 percent, in both 2008 and 2012.

So, NFnet, did you simply not check before you made your comment about evangelicals? Is something else going on with you regarding evangelicals?

Hear Hear! Lets ignore facts! Let us help the Country slide further down into the abyss of depravity! Lets Abort 100 Million babies now! 54 million is far too few! We can let folks marry their dogs and cats and sisters and aardvarks! Let us make Sodom and Gomorra look like a mid fifties Catholic Girls School!

That will teach them damn Evangelicals!

[Theophilus]

Social issue voters don't vote merely to better the future. We do it because we fear God. If every single new American is aborted and every American city turns into Sodom we will not have lost because our God rules and the day of judgment will have come more surely than the sun will rise. The inequities recurse!
