Then you ARE here to pound down christians in the name of the GOP, because some of them didnt vote for your GOP-elitist snob liberal. FR is not a GOP website. It IS an evangelical, Pro-God website. That means what youre doing is trolling. You aint a conservative.
Those people who chose not to vote for your POS candidate had a right to do so, and they are more conservative than you. FR is a conservative website, not a republican website, so you should not be doing that. Would you expect Paulbots to vote against Ron Paul? Or would you go onto a Goodebot website and expect them to vote against Goode? That would be OBVIOUS trolling. Then why do you come onto a conservative website and expect them to vote against their conservative principles? It is OBVIOUS trolling.
Who was that? Romney was my last choice.
Bigot? Lighten up. I just don’t care for the “JC will provide” crap. My car is almost out of gas, should I wait until he fills it up or get off my duff and drive to the gas station?
And I agree that extreme shame ought to be visited upon the evangelicals who did not vote for Romney yesterday.
***Why? This is a conservative website. Berating conservatives because they didnt vote for a librul is not conservative. It says right in the founders statement that we are not beholden to ANY political party; FR is not a GOP website. So stop with the bowlsheet of conservatives preferring something over another when they had no real choice. The GOP let them down. Would you expect blacks to vote for a kkk candidate? Would you go onto blackpower.com and berate them for not voting for someone antithetical to their principles? No, because such a thing is OBVIOUSLY trolling. But coming onto a conservative website and berating conservatives for not voting for their antithetical nonconservative is somehow acceptable. Bowlsheet. Its trolling.
More assumptions, eh, Ann Archy?
Well, thus far the best source I've found that at least provides indicators as to how many Evangelicals voted is Pew Forum's exit polls: How the Faithful Voted: 2012 Preliminary Analysis
Per Pew Forum's exit polls, were white Evangelicals a greater part of the 2012 voting block vs. 2008 and 2004? Or less?
Answer? Well, I just crunched the rough #s based upon Pew Forum's exit polls...and more -- not less -- white Evangelicals voted in 2012...than either in 2008 or 2004.
It looks like almost 31 million white Evangelicals voted in 2012; compared to about 30 million in 2008, and compared to about 26 & 1/4 million in 2004.
How did white Evangelicals compare to other voter segments...in staying home or not?
Answer: They were 24% of the voting block in 2012; 23% in 2008; 21% in 2004.
Which religious voter groups turned out significantly less in 2012? (a) OTHER white Protestants -- not Evangelicals; (b) white Catholics
Per Pew Forum white Protestants dropped from 42% of the pie in 2008 to 39% in 2012...keep in mind, tho, that the mainline denominations are "aging" & unless a Dem "resurrects" a dead voter, they don't vote from the grave...
Still, 42% of about 132,654 (2008) vs. 39% of about 128 million is a drop-off of over 4 million voters!
Also, white Catholics dropped from 19% in 2008 to 18% in 2012...Because the voter pool was smaller in 2012, that's about 2 million LESS white Catholics turning out...(I estimate a drop from just over 25 million to just over 23 million)...obviously some of them died and weren't replaced by younger Catholic voters.
The electable alternative to Obama was Romney. Comparing Romney to the KKK is ridiculous.
IIRC, even the founder of this site, late in the season, said he would vote for Romney to just get rid of Obama.
Evangelicals who ignored Billy Grahams thinly veiled plea to vote for Romney ought to be ashamed.
No deary extreme shame is on evangelicals and Christians who voted for a man who is the royalty of the SLC LDS

...you PURE Evangelicals who won't vote for a Mormon or a Catholic helped to DESTROY this country.
Well, guess what...at least three FREEPERs posted threads re: Mark Levin's radio content...see this one, for example: Mark Levin Gives "Unvarnished Truth" On Romney Loss
Now what did Levin have to say about Republicans like Ann Archy:
Levin: Now I hear we're called 'purists.' Conservatives are called purists. The very people who keep nominating moderates, now call us purists the way the left calls us purists. Yeah, things like liberty, and property rights, individual sovereignty, and the Constitution, and capitalism. We're purists now. And we have to hear this crap from conservatives, or pseudo-conservatives, Republicans.
Levin calls accusations like yours as "crap"...and that these comments are issued by "pseudoconservatives" like you!!!
Well, Mormons and Evangelicals had one thing in common per the Pew Forum exit polls...
And that is about 1 in 5 Mormons, and 1 in 5 white Evangelicals, voted for Obama.
(%-wise, there was actually more support for Romney by Evangelicals than Mormons! ... by 1%)
So...are we going to hear any lambasting of Obama-supporting Lds on this thread???
I’m willing to lambast anybody that voted for Obama. and I’m an evangelical.
Stupid people belong to every race and religion.
Obama-supporting LDS are idiots. I’m often curious when we see these polls of alleged Christians, particularly from PEW which has a radical agenda. Are the CINOs or do they really practice their religion?
(Hey, if I recall, even Bush got 22% of the gay & lesbian vote in one of the elections...there just seems to be that 80-20 rule where 20% will buck whatever their “peer group culture” is clamoring for)
So you’re the deciding vote between Diocletian and Romney to rule your country. Who do you choose?
Rule: Voting for someone else, not voting or voting for neither gives you Diocletian by default.
Hint: this is a test of discernment.
Well, let's see...$millionaires like Mitt have been giving $millions to the Mormon church to slander the worldwide Christian church as Satanic, false, dead, abominable, corrupt, not joinable, apostate, etc.
And these aren't just -- as Mr Rogers implied -- sermons from the 16th & 17th centuries...
These are Lds "scriptures" -- not opinions from the pulpit...being translated in hundreds of languages around the world.
And many of these aren't generic comments about "heretics" -- but are specific in targeting Christian sects.
It's also in current Lds curricula, media & online content.
So, the Lds church has already been attacking us Christians in $millions of ways for quite some time...It's been good "preparation" for additional persecution.

wrong.
I gathered that since you were up to Daniel chapter 4; then chapter 3 would have been fresh in your mind.
I haven't checked a lot of translations, so the phrase 'but if not' could be slightly different in some of them and studying would not have necessarily picked it up.
Sorry about the judging thing.There's been so much of it in this thread that some of it has rubbed off on me I guess.
Im willing to lambast anybody that voted for Obama. and Im an evangelical.

If you wanna slam conservatives for voting against your GOP statist, go to GOP.com. Then it wouldn’t be trolling.
Not relevant; since MORMONism makes the claim of being the copyright holder of the Restored Gospel® it should NEVER have proclaimed the things it did.
Excellent job of parsing the differences.
