What about the "conservatives" that sat out the '92 election because Bush wasn't conservative enough? What about the people threatening to do so this election?
It is easy to blame a group, specifically Christians. It isn't necessarily productive at this time.
The reality of the matter is that none of us makes the right choice everytime. G.W. was wrong not to admit the DUI before the press could hang him with it. Some Christians, not all, were wrong to let it be the deciding factor in their vote. I voted for G.W. I prayed for him throughout the nightmare of the 2000 elections and firmly am of the opinion those prayers played a decisive role in the outcome. Other Christians did the same.
This isn't 2000. I would wager the majority of Christians that sat out the 2000 election have matured since then, as seemingly conservatives seem to have matured a little since '92. G.W. has a proven and sincere record with the Christian community. I know of few more determined to help him win this election than the Christian body.
This article might have served a purpose in 2000, but it comes across as doing more harm than good with it's tone now.
I don't see how this article would do more harm than good. The sorts of people he's talking about don't read FReep, and probably don't read much of anything.
I say, they're due for a nice hard bytch-slap. They damned near gave us President Gore.
Nuff said.
