I agree voting against someone is just as important as voting for someone.

However, I really don't blame these people for staying home. For years, the media and left has been screaming that everyone should be able to participate in the political process, EXCEPT for the religious right.

I am not sure Republicans have done enough to defend their constituency of christian conservatives.

I also think the word "compromise" is not in the christian conservative vocabulary and much like the hard left groups who won't compromise: PETA, ACTUP; etc, they have become increasingly irrelevant to the mainstream political debate.

Everything you said is true. I do think that some Republicans start believing the lies in the press about religious people from time to time. I am involved in the party locally and from time to time I hear RINO's say something vicious behind their back: which is sad because the evangelicals are the backbone of the party who go to all the meetings and the RINO's are lazy and not as motivated.

That being said, there is definately a place for religion in politics, but if you are looking for a religous experience in politics, you are going to be dissappointed.

You can't help those who won't help themselves.
