Porn Stars, Playmates, and Christian Politics

Chad is right. Evangelicals aren't the only ones who vote for a particular candidate just because of party loyalty, regardless of how crappy that candidate is as a politician and as a human. Many groups do that.

Yes, that's correct.

I wonder, though, how many of these other groups have spent the past four decades insisting that they have a corner on morality and public decency. Chad's point is true and somewhat irrelevant, since the post he responded to concerned the Christian Right's hypocrisy and willingness to cast aside their alleged principles for the sake of power.

A lot of social justice type groups are like that. They go out and protest, and write books, and tell those who disagree with them that they're wrong and bad, etc. I used to be Facebook friends with a liberal atheist woman who was always posting preachy shit on her Facebook and condemning those who she didn't feel were doing things right or whatever. It doesn't have to be a religious group.

Personally I hold Christian groups to a higher standard because I'm Christian, but they are by no means the only ones who have a set of principles they strongly stand for and speak out about. They can be hypocrites as well. Only difference is I dont care about their hypocrisy hecause they are not supposedly standing for Christ.

Well, no kidding there are plenty of groups that vote along party lines. I never claimed otherwise.

Chad's implication seemed to be that everyone does that. Probably about a third of voters are independent, and don't. That was my point.

Gotcha. Yeah, not everyone does that. My husband and I, and many people we know, all voted Indy this time around.
