Quote: The evangelical vote was 27 percent of the overall electorate -- the highest it's ever been for an election.


So much for the theory that Obama was reelected because christians stayed home.

Did it also marginalize xenophobia and homophobia ?

That would better explain why Romney did not win.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Why would christians vote for some crazy ass motherfucker who worships [a different] imaginary god. Rgr?

The point is that they DID turn out to support Romney - mormon or not - and still got their clock cleaned. The "disaster" is not that they didn't support him but that they did and lost.

Quote:As a result, 79 percent of white evangelicals voted for Romney on Tuesday. That's the same percentage that Bush received in 2004, and more than Sen. John McCain received in 2008. The evangelical vote was 27 percent of the overall electorate -- the highest it's ever been for an election.

Their support wasn't enough. Not only did President Obama win soundly, but four states voted to allow same-sex marriage.
