Yeah we should really listen to our blood foes for advise on how the election is shaping up.
What should we do next, tune in to Radio Tehran to hear how the war is going?

It will be wicked
if the "Evangelicals"
whine and whine and whine,
finally stay home
and don't vote, but somehow still
Republicans win.
To: SmithL
"I don't think evangelicals have coalesced around any candidate," he said Wednesday in Washington, with Giuliani at his side. "I just believe that I needed to make a statement, and I am speaking for myself, that ... Rudy Giuliani is, without question, an acceptable candidate."
Right Rudy is the ONLY one that can save us from the muslims
Robertson is either a complete boob or sold out

Like in 2006? If the GOP doesn't run a conservative, I put the blame on them. The results of insulting the party base by backing liberal RINOs should be clear from what happened in 2006.
To: SmithL
We have seen something of a conservative leadership vacuum in the 20 years since Reagan. Messers Robertson, Brownback, and Weyrich are showing, by their poor judgment, why they were were never able to lead.
The majority of the conservative base has lined up behind Fred Thompson. The liberals are terrified of him, which should only increase our esteem for Fred.

I don’t think the left considers Fred a threat. Otherwise Harpers would have written that article about Fred, not Romney. I think the Hollywood media wants to see Klinton vs Fred because it will make everyone a lot of money.
To: SmithL
Pat Robertson’s audience will not follow him on this one.
And everyone knows that Pat’s age has affected his public proclamations for some time now.

Today, discord within the movement may run deeper than in the 1990s. The Christian right is maturing and has a new generation of leaders interested in issues beyond abortion and gay marriage, such as the environment and Darfur violence. By "maturing? they mean the movement has been corrupted and I wash my hands their corruption.
I stopped donating to the evangelical movement a few years ago and will NOT give them a dime any longer.
To: SmithL
I have no problem with the splintering at this point in time. However when we do pick a nominee I hope we can all get back together and back whoever it is. From the postings I have seen on FR I have doubts this will happen.

The left and their shills in the MSM are counting on us doing something really really stupid like staying home or third party. That’s the only way they win.

"but somehow the GOP still wins"
Sire, you just predicted the future.
That hand has been over played by a long shot.

Robertson lost credibility with his protein powder and fake 2,000 leg press.
To: All
Looks like the evangelicals sold out to the liberals.
They could have backed real conservatives...but refused to do so.
This is shaping up to be a rough 2008 for the GOP

“I dont think the left considers Fred a threat. Otherwise Harpers would have written that article about Fred, not Romney. I think the Hollywood media wants to see Klinton vs Fred because it will make everyone a lot of money.”
It will take a little more than that lame attempt, if you want to sell a bill of goods to the FR crowd.

It will be wicked if the "Evangelicals" whine and whine and whine, finally stay home and don't vote, but somehow still Republicans win.Dream on. Over 1/2 of the dem voting base would have to stay home for that to happen--maybe about a third if ALL the independents broke Republican. It'll never happen. Bottom line, you're stuck with us. Live with it. Or be consigned to being a permanent electoral minority. So at least pretending to act nice would be a good start.
To: SmithL
All the candidates are flawed in the eyes of the Christian right...All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
The Lord will NOT be returning to run for POTUS. Staying home or voting third party only assures evil of victory. But then, who knows His will? Maybe evil is supposed to win this one, to begin the End Times.

won’t happen; lets see the GOP Rudy win in a state like IOWA, INDIANA, SC, TN, NB, ETC w/out the army of volunteers (many Christian Conservatives) volunteering for his campaign (in a tightly divided USA, ain’t gonna happen..)!
