It probably gets you that label, alright. As far as different interpretations, Warren will find interpretations that aren’t even anywhere near the text. Not even in the same state. He never met a verse he couldn’t take out of context.

The GOP betrayed them and broke promises to many times...

This is an absurd statement. For whatever flaws in the Republican party, they're small by comparison to the RAT party. The Democrat platform is the antithesis of true Christianity.

I think it's a totally accurate statement. I'm a registered Republican, and feel completely betrayed. I don't care a zit what the Dems think, say, or do, since they've made no promises to me other than to be the people I can waggle my finger at and declare "That's what's wrong with America!"

Problem is, it's my party that's fronting candidates where the finger waggling also holds true. The dems are pure evil, we know that, we expect that. Why is the GOP going down the same road? I think it's high time a true conservative party come to the forefront.

Yep, I noticed that mistake right after I posted it, but it seemed too minor for another correction.

It must be that the Reverend Warren is having to cater to Socialists as CA is such a hard-left state. Could his eye be on that collection plate? If not, it must be on “Christian Socialism”.

It’s GWB’s fault. He has tried to cater to Democrats and Socialists, and the base has gone away, never to return to the process.

Evangelicals are not, and have never been reliable GOP voters. Never.

Um, that's about 38%. While I would prefer this to be far lower, it does not seem to match the billing of "overwhelmingly support"

My thoughts exactly. 20 percent to Hilery is "overwhelming"? Even taken in the total, 38 percent, that leaves 62 percent not overwhelmingly for left wing idiots.

Again, my litmus holds up.

If the media are promoting Rick Warren, there is reason for me to run the other direction ... fast!


Perhaps they've found religion in the platitudes and empty sermons of Obama such that they now feel comfortable using catchwords like "faith," "community," and what have you, in a positive connotation--so long as they are still nebulous, relative, and thoroughly humanistic.

No wonder they like Warren!

Nah, the fundies aren’t falling for him. The evangelicals are. Those that did NOT think doctrine was important but the ‘social’ aspects of church took precedence for them.

I suspect that's what's going on here. They are measuring a word for which there is no agreed upon definition.

Yeah. It's really hard to quantify whether someone is a True Christian and put it into a statistical report. But Barna and others keep on trying, and building their empires around such foolishness and ... (almost a form of) numerology.

As an added bonus, when the veneer is ripped from this Charlatan and the house he built comes crashing down, the blame will go to the right wing evangelicals he is trying lo lead astray. See Jim Jones (suicide for socialism) for reference.

Howard Dean indicated a few years ago his intent to do this.

It has been done, very successfully IMO.

The political right has been resting on its laurels, while the other side mobilized and went to work.
