In this case, the Catholic Church has completely dropped the ball. For decades, the church has threatened to cut off politicians who promoted or supported abortion. Yet no action has ever been taken. Then add to that that others who claim to be Evangelical Christians have not stood up for their beliefs - and their preachers have been afraid to preach the TRUTH about abortion and the other issues that played heavily (or at least should have) into this election.
And then add to that the Republican Party's quest for defeat... first by putting up McCain in the first place (making it a matter of holding noses on the part of the Conservative base to vote for him), and then by doing nothing. I have been hearing reports of Democrat "get out the vote" efforts in several states - such as the 600K NEW voters registered in the past year - mostly due to Democrat efforts to register these new voters - and the vast majority are registering and voting Democrat. The Republican version of get out the vote is to call your neighbors and remind them to vote... Guess what - conservatives are dying out. We MUST recruit new voters before the Democrats can brainwash them.
Yes, I agree with you.
To clarify, though. I said “Christian socialists” not “Socialist Christians.” “Socialist” was the noun, Christian merely the adjective. They are first and foremost socialists who believe redistribution of wealth (which is actually redistribution of EARNINGS in practice) in some perverted way fulfills Jesus’ teachings about the poor. It’s absurd, but they’ve been brainwashed.
