Give this author a Fuente Opus X!

While FR continuously obsesses over meaningless Jewish votes, unregistered, non-voting, or voting-for-the-other side self-proclaimed evangelical Christians outnumber the winning Democrat margins in most or many states.

I’m not sure Christians vote in a block. I would not vote for a Christian just because they are a self-proclaimed Christian.

Maybe its my protestant upbringing but I get nervous about powerful governing authority within Christianity. Its why I like the tea party, multiple disorganized groups.

Besides, the National Council of Churches claim to be Christian but they have a pretty clear green socialist bent.

I agree. The last thing I want is any sort of theocracy. I want God to be acknowledged and to guide our country, but I don’t want someone who says “God told me...”. That can lead to all sorts of problems.

Where are these voters ? Registering Christian voters in already Red states is not going to help.

It seems a bit high, but let’s be optimistic. There are probably more Christians in China now.

Be careful what you pray for...There are BHO bumper stickers on cars in the parking lot of my Catholic Church. (ok so it’s a northern VA parish)

Somebody has some math issues. We’re an 80%+ christian nation of over 300 million people.

If Christians would return to principle, the abortion holocaust would end virtually overnight.

So you are saying that these Catholics are Christians? Sounds like they are following “the ONE” false messiah.

RE: There are BHO bumper stickers on cars in the parking lot of my Catholic Church.

Interesting... these people go to church. They know that the priests and the head of the church - The Pope is OPPOSED to abortion.

They either know or don’t know that Obama is pro-choice— so pro-choice in fact that he refused to vote for the Illinois Born Alive Babies Act ( a law that would require physicians and nurses and health care providers to take care of babies who survived botch abortions )... yet.. they vote for someone who goes against what their church teaches...

I wonder how they can reconcile being Catholic and voting for Obama...

My thoughts exactly. Something doesn't smell right here.

I, too, would resist an attempt to unify a “christian” voting bloc, though I have no objection to the outreach described in the article.

We don’t need to be told by some earthly authority how to vote...we are led by the Spirit.

I see in other countries they have political parties with “christian” in the title- don’t understand it quite. As citizens, we should vote our conscience, and the Spirit is not divided- but we can never vote in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Christian voters split approximately the same as the rest of the electorate in the 2008 election. ~53% Obama, ~46% McCain.
