If you want to pile “Christians” in as part of the Conservative voting block, you better be damn well better be sure about which Christians you are referring to. Many African-American Christians voted FOR obama while voting against gay marriage.
If you’re the type who lumps Catholics in with Christians, you must remember a majority of Catholics voted for obama. Truth be told, all you need to get some folks vote is to claim to be a Christian and let identity politics do the rest.

I doubt a majority of Knights of Columbus voted for Obama.

Not true, since as soon as they determined to vote for Obama they ceased to be Catholics, whatever their opinion might be.

The "Christian" label has become meaningless, except for its usefulness to scamsters of all kinds to steal votes and money they otherwise could not get, from people who are too easily swayed by meaningless labels.

Some "Christians" may be "conservative", but the two terms are not related by any stretch of the imagination. "Christian" is a religious label. "Conservative" is a political label representing those who strive to "conserve the constitutional republican form of government".

There are "Christians" who are outright communists, some socialists, some radical marxists, some Republicans, some Democrats, some good, and some downright evil.

Anytime someone leads a sentence with "I'm a Christian ...", the first question should be, "Just what kind of Christian are you? And just how is that meaningless label pertinent to anything being discussed in the grown-up world?"
