Romney Loss - Evangelicals "Again" Stayed Home
IFB ^ | 11/7/12

Posted on 11/07/2012 4:18:54 AM PST by The Ignorant Fisherman

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!

Romney's evangelical support equaled Bush's

WASHINGTON (BP) -- Republican nominee Mitt Romney won a larger percentage of the evangelical vote than did John McCain in 2008 and even equaled that of George W. Bush's 2004 percentage, according to an exit poll data analysis by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

On the other hand, there are maps showing a swing away from Romney in the Deep South. Presumably some of those voters were Evangelicals.

I can tell when the stupidity is obvious, such as in your case. How’s that hypothetical going? What happens to your hypothetical when we all die, and God asks us why we voted the way we did?

(Me) “And these aren’t just — as Mr Rogers implied — sermons from the 16th & 17th centuries...”

(You) I did NOT imply any such thing, although you seem content to lie about others.

OK, it's possible I misinterpreted whatever you meant in post #641, but I didn't "lie" -- it's right there for people to read...You said:

...sermons from the mid-1800s. You might want to think about what the Calvinists and Catholics did in the 1500s & 1600s, then.

They’re proud they stopped Romney.
***You presume to know how they feel? How does the GOP-e feel when they push a liberal statist onto the electorate, knowing that it will cause a split in the base? Were they proud? Are they proud now?

At this point I’m not interested in how people did or did not vote. It’s IRRELEVANT and pointless to argue about it. Vote for whomever you want. It’s a free country.
***Then why did you ping the poster and say, “You’re right.” Your post is no different than all the other trolls who have been trying to separate conservatives from their conservative beliefs on this conservative website.

God: Kevmo why didn’t you try to stop Diocletian by voting against him. (no need for a question mark as God knows the answer)

Kevmo: I couldn’t discern between a killer of Christians and a Mormon.

Evangelicals who ignored Billy Grahams thinly veiled plea to vote for Romney ought to be ashamed.

HMMmm... I missed that part.

What I saw was an overt message to the collective to NOT vote a heretical MORMON into office!


the BIBLE...

biblical values...

Nope; that ain't a BoM in his hand!

According to RCP’s election analysis, it wasn’t evangelicals who stayed home.
***And yet, that doesn’t stop a bunch of bigoted antichristian trolls from berating conservatives on this conservative website.

Rule: Voting for someone else, not voting or voting for neither gives you Diocletian by default.

Well then, since O's total was down about 14-15 million from 2008; I guess you may claim THOSE as votes FOR romney!

God:
Why did you post that thing to 1010RD?

Kevmo:
I’m sorry, God, but the stupidity was so overwhelming. Plus, he was involved with berating conservatives on a conservative website, he was being a troll.

God:
The problem is, we have so few trolls here in Heaven.

Kevin:
Maybe, dear Lord, you could grant them more brains?

Ya gotta wait until the brat wears himself out in his tantrum, before you can EVER expect to get your point across.

Those on the right who could have voted and stayed home are total scum.

What are your adjectives for those on the LEFT that stayed home?

As I said before, you have the right to vote for whomever you want. It’s a free country. To be honest, I was not happy when obama won, but I realize you can’t tell other people how to vote, and I’ve calmed down since the results came in on Tues.

And just what LIE are you refering to?

If you have the audacity to ACCUSE someone; at least have the BALLS to show the evidence of your claim.

Good, conservative answer. Maybe you could handhold a few of your fellow travelers and get them to focus their ire where it belongs: on the GOP-E, not other conservatives.

It’s probably just an emotional time right now, immediately after the election.

ANY politically right leaning person who either sat out or voted another party and allowed a communist Obama in deserves our total hatred and disgust IMO.

You go, CA Guy. Absolutely agree with you more than 1000%. Rush agrees with you, too. Caller today spoke same stupid language and Rush was speechless, then mystified, then said something like "can you believe these people?"
