Stoked, my asset! People saw the bias and attacks for what they were, without ANY help from the Republicans!
They STILL don't get it!

All year, Sen. Obama has worked hard to win evangelical voters. They’ve run campaign ads, distributed literature about being a “committed Christian,” and offered numerous outreach events at the Democratic convention. At stake are about six million voters - moderate evangelicals who voted for George W. Bush last time but were intrigued by Sen. Obama.
Several things have battered Sen. Obama’s standing with moderate evangelicals:
1) His poor performance at the Saddleback candidates forum, especially (or perhaps entirely) his comment about it being “above my pay grade” to know when life begins.
2) The selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, an appealing antiabortion figure and the perceived attacks on her by the media, which led evangelicals to think the “elites” were against them. This sentiment has been skillfully stoked by the Republicans.
3) The Democrats’ decision to run radio ads championing Sen. Obama’s abortion-rights position without discussing his abortion-reduction agenda. “Unless the Obama campaign will stop emphasizing abortion rights and strongly address the major common cause issues with a spirited vision and practical details, the Republicans can continue to scoop up a ton of votes,” says Hunter.
4) The Obama campaign’s failure to combat effectively the charge that he opposed giving protection to infants who survive abortions. It’s now become a standard part of the Republican litany that Sen. Obama supports not only abortion but also infanticide.
5) Quiet concern among evangelical leaders of faith-based groups that Sen. Obama’s faith-based initiative would leave most faith-based groups in the cold because he wouldn’t allow them to hire only from their particular faith....................

Exactly. And that's what was so bizarre to me about this article. Why were Evangelicals ever for Obama?
How could they be with his abortion code?
How could any Christian be for Obama?
I'm Catholic and I don't know of any Catholics for Obama.
How could they be, and call themselves Catholic?
Same goes for any Christian.
We need to remind our Congregations of this fact.
A “moderate Evangelical” is someone who goes to church sometimes. Liberals then tag them with the term “Evangelical” for the singular purpose of diluting and obfuscating the phrase.
The more people learn about Obama the less they like him.
It’s a strong pro-life ticket. The so-called lukewarm Christians are Christians in name only...if that. If they don’t support a strong pro-life agenda, and strict Bible-focused worship, then they aren’t true Christians.
The media has no idea what constitutes a Christian. The same can be said for a number of so-called Christian sects.
What a moron.
Did he really ever have it?
I posted this article shortly after your comment.

It’s my belief that the American public will continue to relate to Gov. Palin in that “She’s one of us” and come November all of Obama’s lawyers would just be peeing in a forest fire.

? Support from Evangelicals? Naw. Not on any impressive scale. That wouldn't make any sense. NObama couldn't obtain the true Christian vote. But boy, has he tried. Ain't gonna work. Can't work.
Jesus said he would spit out luke warm Christians. I am afraid that because of how far the churches have fallen from scripture, God will end his mercy to and protection of America.
The media, and the Communist Party, hate Christianity, and have been working to end the American way of life, based on God’s eternal laws, for many years now. We are beginning to see the dire results of those evil endeavors.
But God will not forsake His children.
