Many of us could not imagine that Romney could lose this election, especially after four years of Obama’s radical Marxism and its social and fiscal consequences that America will NEVER recover from. All the hype and all the Romney rallies; it indeed looked like a sure victory for Romney except for one equation, the Evangelical vote. We here at the IFB have talked back and forth among ourselves since the RNC convention and with others also in the know; that if the Evangelical vote did not show up on Nov. 6th the jig would be up and Romney would lose big… and indeed he has.
Remember, the GOP and Romney gave NO place to the Evangelical vote at the RNC convention. They outright snubbed us and that act rubbed Evangelicals the wrong way.
Remember, the GOP and Romney gave NO place to the Evangelical vote at the RNC convention. They outright snubbed us and that act rubbed Evangelicals the wrong way. The Evangelical vote consists of the TRUE social and moral conservatives of the party (i.e., the Right). Romney and the GOP also gave very little time to the Tea Party who is the heart of the grass root movement and the engine of the Party! The viewer ratings for the 2012 RNC convention were way down, some 40% and many of us- including myself - did not watch one lick of it. Why should we have? We knew what we were getting and many of us felt “diss’d” being left out as we were. That in its self should have set off warning bells to the RNC but in all honesty many of us who are Evangelicals were still going to vote for Romney holding our nose. It is our duty as Believers and an Americans to be salt and light (Matt. 5:13-16) and even though Romney was who he was; he was the better choice still and the lesser of the two evils for our nation. We were not going to trust in a Romney win but that a Romney win would slow down the final deterioration of our nation.
Many Evangelicals who voted for Bush in 2000 and in 2004 felt betrayed by his agreeing with and passing many of the Marxist policies of the progressive Left. To this day it still has left a bad taste in our mouth and many have NOT forgotten it. Evangelicals felt betrayed and many did not vote for McCain in 2008 which gave Marxist Obama the victory. When you add the convention snub of Romney and the GOP that was the straw that broke the elephants back.

Now we come to today, the day after the election and we once more again see that the Evangelical vote has stayed home; and in doing so have given Obama another four years to finish the job of transforming our nation and fundamentally changing our culture and way of life which includes the elimination of sound biblical Christianity. I know I am going to get a ton of hate mail for this statement, but SHAME ON YOU for sitting home and not choosing to be light and exercising your God given right to vote (Matt. 5:13-16)! I know all sides of this argument and there is still absolutely NO excuse (Matt. 5:13-16). Your self righteous pride, biblical ignorance and foolishness has open wide the door now for Christian persecution in our nation and the end of the freedoms we have for the furtherance of the Gospel. My friends, indeed the Day of the Lord is at hand, but WOE to any who seek to bring it about who call on the Name of Jesus Christ by being idol and slothful.This is NOT a sanctification matter and God will hold you accountable for hiding your light and voice.
In the end, this 2012 election has revealed without a shadow of a doubt that the Evangelical element has lost its salt and light and that America has absolutely no problem in FULL LIGHT re-electing a radical progressive secular Marxists to reign over us.

I think of Samuel when all of Israel wanted a king and not the Lord (1 Sam. 8). It broke his heart and rightly so! He knew what was coming. Thus America in this election has said quite loudly that we DO NOT want the God given freedom to exercise what our Founding Fathers envisioned, which was based on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. In doing so we have REJECTED the Judeo/ Christian values and ideals which once made this country great. We have now as a nation fully taken on the mantle of Lawlessness and the spirit of Anti Christ as our nation’s ideology and culture.
Indeed, we as Evangelicals will now see what we must surely endure under lawless administration of Barack H. Obama and many Evangelicasl will be sifted and found wanting. That there... you can take to the bank!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
“...we chose politics over God by nominating Romney in the first place.”
Point taken. For the record - I suppported Michelle Bachman - but she was gone by the time my state voted - I pulled the lever for Newt.
Wonder what would have happened if Sarah had thrown her hat in? I understand her first priority was to her family and raising a Special-needs child is a priveledge she couldn’t turn her back on.
The tone of your comments are so cheerful, so smug. You sound like a democrat. This is a funeral, not a wedding.
Feel free to get in a last word. I have nothing more to say to you other than go screw yourself.
I have a couple of moron relatives and friends that have no clue as to what's in store for this country. They've either been asleep the last few years or refuse to admit the failings of Obama.
As the famous Rev. Wright once said, " No, No, No, it's God Damn America, it's in the Bible."
The Mormon men-gods in SLC were hedging their bets...
They knew it was Harry or Willard...
They hoped for but knew they couldnt have both...
so just in case they were disowning their connection to Willard...
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Them mormon gods dont have a lot of confidence in their own slaves do they ???
“Screw you, smug asshole.
Hell, I bet you voted for Obama.”
That is the thing I truly admire about the good fine supporters of that good fine nominee, Bishop Willard Romney. Their courtesy, eloquence, positive attitudes and most of all their intellectual depth and logical precision. These things make the GOP the success that it is today.
I was watching old episodes of Heart of the Matter last week and Shawn was asked what amazes him most about Mormons and he replied “the blindness and arrogance”. I know you, like me are familiar with both of those.
The same things amaze me about so-called conservatives who supported Romney and pushed the facts aside and now are attacking those of us who warned them this would happen and voted our conscience because we didn’t cave or ‘fall in line’. We learned the HARD way what blindness and arrogance gets you and God had a serious wake up call for both of us from the Mormon cult. All we can do is pray that God gives these ‘conservatives’ the same type of wake up call.
Republicans who did not care enough about this country to vote to stop obama will be shocked at what will befall us during the next 4 yrs. They don’t care that obama won.
It’s impssible to talk to people who don’t care that obama. They’re worse than dems.
Good try, Nana, but remember the Bible speaks of those who go after doctrines that ‘tickle the ears’ and Mormonism SOUNDS nice to the untrained ears but contains the doctrines of devils.
double dumbass to you. mitt and the eGOP (and apparently you) did all you could to snuff the base out. but then reject the base and you only get the waffle center. Enjoy your president for the next four years wyrd.
Many good conservatives did support 0bama and there is no evidence that any third party received any more than the regular odd ball votes. the eGOP tried to put lipstick on a pig and tell us he was a conservative and the mittbots piled on.
just weird...
I know, fairly well, about ten evangelicals. All but three stayed home and would not vote for a Mormon. The third really had a hard time voting for Romney but did so from pressure from his wife.
For the record - I supported Michelle Bachman - but she was gone by the time my state voted - I pulled the lever for Newt.

I would have loved to see Sarah run, but I do understand her family commitments and to be honest, after the way Republicans (including a few from Romney’s last campaign) defamed her and her family, it would be hard for ANYONE to get back into that fray.
I supported Bachman, then Cain, then Newt and by the time my state voted, there were only a few left. It was frustrating and disheartening. I never had a ‘perfect’ candidate in mind, I just wanted a semi-conservative if not a Conservative one. This election has, in an indirect way, made me trust God more because my eyes were opened to the real problems on the GOP side in a way they never had been before.
I’ve known Nana for YEARS and there is no way she would ever vote for Obama, she is naturally cheerful and always manages to find the light in a gloomy day.
So lighten up Francis...quit whining and get ready to fight.
But since you want to play this little game of mind reading, after looking at your posts, I am convinced that you are NOT a Christian, but a fiscal conservative who is concerned only with this world and is either an agnostic or athiest and thinks Romney would save the US. More libertarian than actual conservative, you probably adopt the view that if gays don’t flaunt it you don’t care what they do in their bedroom, that medical marijuana is a good idea and care more about the stock market than souls.
How’d I do?
And before you get a nasty with me, remember YOU started the name calling and assumptions. Do unto others....
I still think Glenn Beck thinks it is him.
Check out my response to that nastybot a couple of posts up from this. ;)
Oh I dont doubt that...

Well said, that is a very good description of the GOP elite who promoted Romney the RINO and shoved him down our throats. They didn’t care if Obama won, if they did they would have given us a decent candidate.
