1) Considering that I posted what I said about the GOP/Evangelicals THREE previous times on this thread, while you were ON the thread, yes, I think you're dense that you didn't/don't get it.

2) And clearly you don't read carefully, because the evidence of Evangelicals aligning themselves with the global warming hysterics has already been posted by areafiftyone in post 350. Why don't you go all those links.

3) So tell me, if those article are true, what's the GOP going to do? Ignore what a large block of their voters want? Or find other voters?

I've stated my opinion. I think they'll ignore the global warning hysterics, tick off a goodly number of Evangelicals who are buying into the hype and the GOP will be forced to find other voters which means moderates.

And now, since I find you obnoxiously dense, I'm going to go do some other things and pretend that I didn't have to repeat myself for the FIFTH time so that some dimwit can still pretend he's brilliant.

If you're basing your premise that global warming is a hot button issue for evangelicals on five news articles rehashing the same story I've got a bridge you might be interested in.

If you read the linked articles you'll notice that, surprise, the same names keep reappearing over and over. You'll also notice that there is widespread opposition to some evangelical leaders embrace of global warming from many other prominent evangelicals.

Finally, you'll see this: Such ferment matters because evangelicals are politically active. Nearly four out of five white evangelical Christians voted last year for President Bush, constituting more than a third of all votes cast for him, according to the Pew Research Center. The analysis found that the political clout of evangelicals has increased as their cohesiveness in backing the Republican Party has grown. Republicans outnumber Democrats within the group by more than 2 to 1. There is little to suggest in recent elections that environmental concerns influenced the evangelical vote -- indeed, many members of Congress who receive 100 percent approval ratings from Christian advocacy groups get failing grades from environmental groups. But the latest statements and polls have caught the eye of established environmental organizations.

Do you honestly believe that gobal warming will become more important to evangelical's than abortion, gay marriage, regious freedom and the host of other issues that have charecterized the movement? I find that hard to believe so why don't you drop the red herrings.
