Evangelicals are to the GOPe as blacks are to the DEMs.
They’re catered to, then forgotten once the candidate is elected.
I’m off the plantation, people. I’m sick and tired of being lied to by my candidates.
I may just go crazy and write in the names of good people for congress instead of settling for another stupid politician/lawyer.
"We choose instead to be political dupes."
Donald Trump has been exclaiming, “The evangelicals love me and I love them.” Well folks, tonight that love affair paved his way to victory in the all-important South Carolina Primary. 72% of the voters in South Carolina Saturday night with evangelical.
BOOM. And what does that say about Ted Cruz.
Evangelicals work, pay taxes, have bills, raise kids, and pursue happiness like everyone else. They want leaders that leave them alone and protect their right to worship as they please.
ISIS has shown us what some other parts of the world think about those freedoms, and turning the other cheek isn’t going to solve the problem. If you extend them a hand, they’re just going to chop it off.
We have to decide if we’re lambs for the slaughter, or lions protecting the pride. We don’t need sheepish leaders. Courage has become a rare commodity, and look where that has brought us.
Apparently, a majority of evangelicals are now all in on being used by a charlatan who will not satisfy their political desires.
We evangelicals need to eat too
Amen! As another poster wisely stated: "Evangelicals are to the GOPe as blacks are to the DEMs. They’re catered to, then forgotten once the candidate is elected."
As this poster also said, we too are permanently "off the GOPe plantation". We are also sick and tired of being LIED TO by OUR candidates. As the song goes: "We won't be fooled again!"
The GOPe functionaries sitting in their smoke filled "back rooms" had better wake up and wise up quick to this new dynamic/reality or they will find their GOPe "Party" no longer exists, having gone the way of the "Wig Party".
The one fact the GOPe fails to understand is that Evangelical Christians are by and large highly educated and fully comprehend how we have been and are being manipulated. The jig is up and we would rather see the GOPe Party permanently crash and burn than to play their "lesser of two evils" candidate any more!
Blah blah blah. 75%of evangelicals don’t show up to vote.
They have no right to complain about anything.
Why are EV’s any different from Tea Partiers and Conservatives; we’re all played like chumps!
The GOP primaries are designed to water down the evangelical vote. States where their votes count go early when their vote can be split more easily.
Evangelicals have little representation in Congress, none in the white house, and none on the Supreme Court, even though we make up a large percentage of the population. I would like a more representative government.
Who exactly are the evangelicals?
I have never heard a satisfactory definition.
