Why blame Evangelicals?
Of course nobody is "above reproach," but I'd argue that Evangelicals have done more to help the Republican party than any other group. My church, for example, made hundreds of phone calls encouraging conservative-leaning voters to get out and vote. Evangelicals poured millions of dollars into the campaigns.
I just don't understand your anti-Evangelical attitude, other than a simple bigotry against those who trust God.
You are so right; there is no sense in being angry with those who trust in God. Prayers for those who lost in yesterday's voting. May they and their wonderful families go forward in positive ways.

I'm not giving Evangelicals any larger percentage of blame than any other group involved in this catastrophe but facts are facts. This group abandoned the first President Bush and were the mid-wives of the first Clinton victory. In plain English, they forget to "render unto Caesar, what is Caesar's", how many innocent babies have they condemned to death before take their first breath outside the womb because their noses were put out of joint over Schiavo?
A telling comment from Cal Thomas on News Watch some time ago, Conservative Christians, Catholics, Evangelicals should no longer feel obligated to President Bush 43 because of the Stem Cell Bill he signed. Getting back to Caeser, now, they have as much an obligation to their fellow citizens in maintaining a "good and just" government as another other aspect of their religious life. Are they that foolish they can now live their lives in peace?
Perhaps, I shouldn't use the term "Evangelicals" as a synonym for Christians/Catholics, I know religion well enough to know they are but one part of the Religous Right who have let us down once again.
