Another day, another host of cheap shots at voting evangelicals. Perhaps everyone should just try and take their voting rights away. Or how about this: Mind your own business, dude. Voters, even evangelical ones, get to choose the candidate they think best represents THEM. Not you. Not your group. You are not in charge of how evangelicals vote.

********************

Evangelicals don't help themselves when they make comments like this:

Do I like Huckabee's economics? No. But I'm glad that he is a pinko. It leads to what economists call honest signalling. It shows that us evangelicals will not tolerate being ignored by the secular Republican elites. Us evangelicals are taking over the party, you can join us or the Democrats. I don't care much either way.

If Evangelicals expect to elect the next president and achieve their goals, they might want to consider that they'll need a little help from the rest of us.

If you non-evangelicals want to help, then great, we'll let you help. And I will be happy to support an economically consevative evangelical. But make the mistake of neglecting the evangelical base in order to nominate socially liberal hawks, and target number one is the Republican party establishment. If we have to vote for pinkos just to drive enough lib[ertarians] into the arms of the lib[erals], then so be it. I'm happy to do it.

Do you not recognize hyperbole? It should be very easy, just read the posts of those who are spewing gloom and doom because Huckabee has done well in one state.

That is very true, but by the same token, If the Pubbies had not tried to shove Giuliani down the Christian's throat, they would not have the bit in their teeth right now.

It is PARAMOUNT that each of the factions respect the others, and only vote for a candidate that is palatable to ALL, including the Christians.

United we stand, Divided we fall.
