Ok, did he receive a high level of support or a low level of support, and why the heck are people trying to spin this, unless they are not on our side?
Capturing 81 percent of the evangelical vote is hardly something to cry about. But let's not forget the crap that Kevin "coach" Collins was peddling the day after the elections, when he claimed that (and I quote)
Evangelical Christians may not be evil people, but they helped an evil president become an evil dictator on Tuesday. The exact numbers aren’t in but clearly the vast majority of Evangelicals stayed home on Election Day.
What all these people fail to mention is that Obama didn’t get as many votes in his second term election as in his first. One has to wonder who dropped off of which I have seen no analysis?
Yet Obama got 98% of the black evangelical vote.
We had better stop this religious schism crap.
We are supposed to draw folks in, not kick them out over single issues.
On the one hand, FReepers and other conservatives warned that nominating Romney would increase the “sit it out” quotient among conservative voters.
On the other hand, of course it is disappointing that more conservatives did not turn out EVEN for Romney, GIVEN the horror of the alternative (and the very real risk that the MSM will stick the blame somehow on REPUBLICANS for 8 years of Obama failure).
I just hope it wasn’t The Mormon Thing.
Why should that stat be any surprise??
If the amount of anti-Mormon vitriol that was posted here on FR was any indication, I’m surprised he got that much support.
I bet all you “true Christians” are really glad you dodged a bullet there, right? I mean what could be worse than a Mormon in the White House? Oh, wait.........
Well, let’s play spin the religious vote again, kiddies! We just looove that game, we could play it over and over and over again! Sooo, here goes!
The Evangelical vote was “low” at 81%, and Republican Presidential candidate Romney made no effort to woo them, but ...
The Catholic vote was “high” at 48% with many attempts to woo them culminating in the selection of a Vice Presidential candidate who is Catholic, and the ticket didn’t even win the VP candidate’s home state ...
And then we have Presidential candidate Romney’s own religious group, the Mormons, whose support was lower than Evangelicals!
What are we to conclude? Catholics are anti-Mormon? No, they just have baggage, it’s sooo hard to break their lifelong Democrat habit, nevermind the Evangelicals went pretty much cold turkey with Reagan.
Mormons are anti-Mormon, lol?
Nooo, of course not. But, bloviating on about anti-Mormon Mormons cannot possibly be any more schizophrenic than repeatedly banging their heads upon reality, trying to pin this loss on Evangelicals.
What Evangelical stronghold state did Romney lose? What Catholic stronghold state did he win?
There are an awful lot of painful contortions going on here, in order to avoid concluding that the Catholics lost this election for Romney.
There, I said it. Post a hundred yard screed or three, parse the language to death, find some minor subset of the group that looks a little better for apologia sake. Par for the course on FR these days.
It’s still denial.
Satan is growing in power and he holds the members of Christ’s church in his palm. There should be a large group against the Democrats from the churches. All you here is silence.
