Actually I am convinced that the internal infighting between Evangelicals and Reagan Republicans was our own Achilles heel. As a Reagan Republican (yet conservative), I think Sarah scared a lot of us from voting or worse yet, crossing over. There are more traditional conservatives than Evangelical conservatives and if you continue to bring in religion to the argument (intelligent design, etc) then the center will always shift left. Separation of church and state my friends. When will we ever learn.

Sarah Palin scarier than Obama?

Oh, good grief. Without Palin, this election would have been over right after the GOP convention. As horrible and lackluster of a candidate as McCain is, Palin gave him his one and only chance. Palin never injected religion into the race, and if people were so anti-religion, I don’t think we’d see gay marriage get beat in every state, including in California, it appears.

And just where would you suggest that we Evangelicals go???? Do you want us to abandon our principles??? Sorry, I do NOT go into the voting booth alone. But then again nobody does. When we realize THAT we ALL will win. God is not the problem in America. The lack of God is! Anyone who can look back at our history will see that the decline of our society and the rise of liberalism started in the 50’s when we kicked God out of the public square.

Hogwash.

hey goofy....Sarah Palin never made an issue of her "religion" what ever it is....I am really not sure...I know she is a Christian.....she believes in teaching kids about birth control, she doesn't believe in forcing people to get married if one is pregnant, she is against abortion for her own life, but she would follow the law, just like she did with the gay benefits in Alaska...

the only ones who made an issue of her "religion" are the driveby media, and you...

I’ve been reading all your comments, and you seem a little fishy to me. This was one of the least religious campaigns I can remember, plus most of the lost seats were moderates. The gay marriage votes passed even in Liberal California.

I’m not a bible thumper, but the evidence seems to show the opposite of what you are saying.
