Quote:I thought this was the consensus about the neocons power since 2000. The neocons hijacked Christianity for their own purposes. They made people believe that if you are a good Christian you should vote Republican.I think we beat this horse to death in another thread. I think the statistics show that among denominations, protestants tend to vote 60/40 for Republicans, and Catholics tend to vote 60/40 for Democrats. It's mostly a wash, but the "Religious Right" as exemplified by Falwell, Robertson, et. al. tends to be Right Wingers, and much further right than Bush, or McCain. I'm not sure if they help or hurt the Republican party though, as it turns off as many as it attracts. I guess its the same with the ultra socialist wing of the Democrats too.
If this is not true please explain better because this is what I read in serious journals, saw on serious political programs etc., and saw on FOX channels comedies. Of course I am aware that the media I have access to are biased (and that CNN etc. only start mentioning this after Bush' approval ratings went down) but you obviously know something I don't.
So instead of showing us again you are still in your anal phase, why don't you try to explain this.
I also understand that you are wise enough to make your own decisions and don't get fooled by political rhetorics but many religious people are not.
