What?
Your response to my post didn’t make sense.
Mike Huckabee = Elmer Gantry minus the charm
I wasn’t repeatedly criticizing, I was repeatedly surprised by their no-show voting habits. Yes, those who DID vote went R, but the point is 40% didn’t vote at all, and that is a group that can swing us to LANDSLIDE.
Cruz represents them, now let’s get them voting for him.
From a year Ago:
Iowa Evangelical Leader: Ted Cruz Is ‘A Liberal’s Worst Nightmare’
In an interview you will only see on The Brody File, influential Iowa evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats, head of The Family Leader organization says that Sen. Ted Cruz, “is a liberal’s worst nightmare.”
He goes on to say that Cruz has unlimited potential to energize the GOP base.
“I haven’t seen anything like it for a long time, probably ever,” Vander Plaats tells The Brody File.
Cruz, along with Rick Santorum and Donald Trump will headline the big Family Leader event on Saturday in Iowa.
Vander Plaats, who is well liked and respected by Iowa’s evangelical community, played a huge role in helping determine Iowa’s Republican Caucus winner in 2008 and 2012. He endorsed Mike Huckabee in 2008 and Rick Santorum in 2012.

I can’t find the 40% non-voting threads yet, but I’m looking.
What a weird thing to keep harping on, you managed to find a way to constantly harp on the GOP’s strongest voters, because according to you they only had 60% turnout.
“”The evangelical vote increased in 2012 to a record 27 percent of the electorate. This was the highest share of the vote in modern political history for evangelicals, according to the FFC.
Romney’s performance among evangelicals represented a net swing of 10 percent over John McCain’s performance in 2008.””

I’m trying to encourage us to get out the vote with the part of evangelicals who don’t vote. I can’t explain it any simpler for you. Sorry.
Surely you could find a more positive way to do that than you are doing, post 91 for instance.
The way you do it feeds a negative image of Evangelical voters, after the election it took us months to overcome all the false posting and articles blaming Evangelicals for republicans losing, when the absolute opposite was the fact.
That is probably in your own head.
Cruz resonates with evangelicals. Let’s energize that base, and the Christian American of hispanic ethnicity base.
We WIN if we do that. Landslide.
Lol, So you are unshakable in wanting to keep portraying Evangelicals negatively.
Way to go, at least you had the Evangelical hater on this thread agreeing with you.
If you want to win elections, then you might want to look at changing how Catholics vote or to ending immigration, you already had the biggest year ever for Evangelicals in 2012, evidently there isn’t a whole lot left to work with there.
Outside of FR, I’ve never met a fellow Catholic or a Baptist who dislikes one another due to theology.
Both are Christian.
Our differences are slight in the scale of things.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Agreed...same for me in Seattle. I don’t hear bashing or fighting amongst any of the major religions. I don’t even hear fighting among the more esoteric religions. Mainly what I hear is support and a belief that adhering to religious values is a ‘good’ thing...for the individual, the family, the community and our country.
You didn’t vote for him. Of course. So don’t give me your bunk about 79% voting for him.
Ansel didn’t vote for Mittens?
Bunk?
Seventy nine percent of Evangelicals voted republican and the Catholic vote went democrat, like it has in almost every presidential vote in history.
Why that should make you so angry is a mystery, just as it is a mystery why it set you off to learn that Ted Cruz is a Southern Baptist, or why you would be so anti-Southern Baptist and Evangelical, yet protective not only of Bishop Romney who the Catholics rejected in favor of Barack Obama, but protective of his Mormonism.
I, too, lived through the 70s. I’ve had that tagline for a while - it’s a quote from a Mark Steyn article. Maybe it’s due for an update but it does cause some to reflect.
Your wish is my command...:-)
RomneyCARE is running, and backstabbing conservatives
through his DNC allies and MSM surrogates (eg. Wallace).
Faux-General Mr. RomneyCARE is the reason there is a
Moslem treasonous pRes_ _ent.
Ultimately, the Supreme Court, the ultimate arbiter of constitutional questions, has never ruled on the matter. And that means a note of uncertainty remains on Ted’s eligibility.
