The MSM (unfortunately, in this case, Lifesitenews as well) loves to portray the ‘Evangelicals’ as a monolithic block who vote 90% Republican in the same way Blacks vote 90% for Democrats. They’re not. Even Bush, who is seen as ‘the most Evangelical candidate’ in recent memory only received around 60%, IIRC. Just also remember that Carter was considered Evangelical as well.

So, it’s not shocking at all that there are many Evangelicals who vote Democrats. Note that whoever the guy this article mentions voted for 0bama. He never claimed himself to be a Republican.

My dear old Aunt Olive couldn't stand Jimmyboy / Mister Teeth / Peanut Farmer / Playboy Feature / Lust-In-His-Heart / Wear-A-Sweater-To-Fix-The-Energy-Crisis / National Malaise / Killer Rabbit Victim, when he ran in 1976. But many of her older lady friends in her church in Louisville, KY were set to vote for him. They were just so tickled pink that for the first time ever, someone calling himself "born again" was running for Prez.

They would say repeatedly to her, "But Olive, he's Born Again!"

To which Aunt Olive replied, "A born-again turkey is still a turkey".
