What rot. There are just as many grass roots Democrats that are religeous and attend church as there are Republicans.

Did you read the whole article?

"As a matter of fact, there is," I answered. "Since 1980, religious Americans of all faiths--fundamentalist Protestants, observant Catholics, even Orthodox Jews--have been moving toward the Republican Party. At the same time, secular Americans have found a home in the Democratic Party.

And this piece isn't the only place this observation has been made. GOP strategists noticed in reviewing exit polls from Bush Sr's '92 defeat that the single greatest determining factor of whether a voter continued to support him was church attendance.

You simply cannot credibly argue that the party of the ACLU, atheists, and the rest of the "separation of church and state" weinies are as devout religiously as the GOP.

The only area where you might have half a point is on black Americans, whom, last I read, attend church at slightly higher rates than whites. Though if there's any evidence great numbers of them take their faith more seriously than their status as a "victim" group, as manifested in their drone-like support for Democrats, I'd like to hear it.

I know what it's like in the city where I live. It went solidly for Gore, yet has one of the highest per capita church attendence records in the country.

Exit polls are a joke. I have several friends who when polled lied and I myself told the idiot pollster about the virtues of the secret ballot. You believe everything you read and I'll continue knowing what I know.
