"We look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it."

Oh, that's bad.

Goodbye Rick. Dumb politics.

[skeeter]

Oh, that's bad.

Perhaps not politically prudent, but look at what the governing boards of the protestant churches are mandating these days and any christian who bases their beliefs on scripture would have to agree. For example, Methodist churches around here have little gay flags on their church signs.

I'll never fault a candidate for telling the truth.

"We look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it."

That's the best they can do? Mainline Protestantism in this country IS in shambles. He's not talking about evangelical Protestantism--he's talking about the Episcopalians and the left-leaning Lutherans and Methodists. Those people aren't going to vote for him anyway and the more conservative members of such denominations will agree with him.
