I have just as much of a problem with the Evangelicals (i.e.; Joel Osteen and T.D.Jakes) allowing these politicians a free pass...why didn’t Joel turn to Nancy and say “Why do you sit here in our midst and pander to us when you do not even practice the basic tenant of our faith that every life is precious...why do you not repent to God for your sin?” There are times the evangelicals are just as guilty as politicians for pandering to the powerful.

I don’t think it’s a good idea because I think all the nut cases should be kept in one party.

you’re damn right. you don’t see republicans reaching out to NOW or NARAL or the SIERRA CLUB, they get to be as conservative as they want and they keep winning. once again i feel like registering as an independent because even though i’ll probly end up voting for a dem, they don’t speak for me for me anymore. and we have hillary clinton talking about finding common ground on abortion? voting to ban flag burning? wtf? so who’s gonna speak up for seperation of church and state?

I wonder if atheists qualify for minority rights?

Actually what they really need is their own homeland.

Democrats appealing to Evangelicals is like Jews praying to Jesus.  How the party has betrayed itself.  I relinquish my Democratic voting status.

Why does this seem absurd? Not all evangelical Christians espouse reactionary politics. And the Democratic party’s platform actually relfects some of the values that Jesus preached about.

Well, lessee, the donks have dumped gun control, gay rights and abortion rights - and for what?  The right to compete for the few fundies that vote for the Constitution party?  ‘Cause they’re sure-as-shootin’ not going to “peel off” any Republican voters.

Pathetic.  Unutterably pathetic.

I dont’ think loss of soul is a problem, as I don’t see them advocating repeal of Roe.  Yet I don’t think that if they strengthen their language against abortion (example “making it less common") that it will be ignored by evangelicals either.
