Romney Loss - Evangelicals "Again" Stayed Home
IFB ^ | 11/7/12

Posted on 11/07/2012 4:18:54 AM PST by The Ignorant Fisherman

Many of us could not imagine that Romney could lose this election, especially after four years of Obama’s radical Marxism and its social and fiscal consequences that America will NEVER recover from. All the hype and all the Romney rallies; it indeed looked like a sure victory for Romney except for one equation, the Evangelical vote. We here at the IFB have talked back and forth among ourselves since the RNC convention and with others also in the know; that if the Evangelical vote did not show up on Nov. 6th the jig would be up and Romney would lose big… and indeed he has.

Remember, the GOP and Romney gave NO place to the Evangelical vote at the RNC convention. They outright snubbed us and that act rubbed Evangelicals the wrong way.

Remember, the GOP and Romney gave NO place to the Evangelical vote at the RNC convention. They outright snubbed us and that act rubbed Evangelicals the wrong way. The Evangelical vote consists of the TRUE social and moral conservatives of the party (i.e., the Right). Romney and the GOP also gave very little time to the Tea Party who is the heart of the grass root movement and the engine of the Party! The viewer ratings for the 2012 RNC convention were way down, some 40% and many of us- including myself - did not watch one lick of it. Why should we have? We knew what we were getting and many of us felt “diss’d” being left out as we were. That in its self should have set off warning bells to the RNC but in all honesty many of us who are Evangelicals were still going to vote for Romney holding our nose. It is our duty as Believers and an Americans to be salt and light (Matt. 5:13-16) and even though Romney was who he was; he was the better choice still and the lesser of the two evils for our nation. We were not going to trust in a Romney win but that a Romney win would slow down the final deterioration of our nation.

Many Evangelicals who voted for Bush in 2000 and in 2004 felt betrayed by his agreeing with and passing many of the Marxist policies of the progressive Left. To this day it still has left a bad taste in our mouth and many have NOT forgotten it. Evangelicals felt betrayed and many did not vote for McCain in 2008 which gave Marxist Obama the victory. When you add the convention snub of Romney and the GOP that was the straw that broke the elephants back.

Many Evangelicals who voted for Bush in 2000 and in 2004 felt betrayed by his agreeing with and passing many of the Marxist policies of the progressive Left. To this day it still has left a bad taste in our mouth.

Now we come to today, the day after the election and we once more again see that the Evangelical vote has stayed home; and in doing so have given Obama another four years to finish the job of transforming our nation and fundamentally changing our culture and way of life which includes the elimination of sound biblical Christianity. I know I am going to get a ton of hate mail for this statement, but SHAME ON YOU for sitting home and not choosing to be light and exercising your God given right to vote (Matt. 5:13-16)! I know all sides of this argument and there is still absolutely NO excuse (Matt. 5:13-16). Your self righteous pride, biblical ignorance and foolishness has open wide the door now for Christian persecution in our nation and the end of the freedoms we have for the furtherance of the Gospel. My friends, indeed the Day of the Lord is at hand, but WOE to any who seek to bring it about who call on the Name of Jesus Christ by being idol and slothful.This is NOT a sanctification matter and God will hold you accountable for hiding your light and voice.

In the end, this 2012 election has revealed without a shadow of a doubt that the Evangelical element has lost its salt and light and that America has absolutely no problem in FULL LIGHT re-electing a radical progressive secular Marxists to reign over us.

In the end, this 2012 election has revealed without a shadow of a doubt that the Evangelical element has lost its salt and light (Matt. 5:13-16) and that America has absolutely no problem in FULL LIGHT re-electing a radical progressive secular Marxists to reign over us. I think of Samuel when all of Israel wanted a king and not the Lord (1 Sam. 8). It broke his heart and rightly so! He knew what was coming. Thus America in this election has said quite loudly that we DO NOT want the God given freedom to exercise what our Founding Fathers envisioned, which was based on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. In doing so we have REJECTED the Judeo/ Christian values and ideals which once made this country great. We have now as a nation fully taken on the mantle of Lawlessness and the spirit of Anti Christ as our nation’s ideology and culture.

Indeed, we as Evangelicals will now see what we must surely endure under lawless administration of Barack H. Obama and many Evangelicasl will be sifted and found wanting. That there... you can take to the bank!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Republican turnout was less than in 2008, thanks to you evangelicals (I will no longer be capitalizing the word) sitting out in droves. Are you happy now? Is this what you wanted? You think you are so damn pure and holy, that you are saving your soul unlike the rest of us "secular humanists."

Well listen here. God holds us responsible for our actions, and for how our actions affect others. Obamacare will not be repealed, thanks to you. The war on Christians will ramp up. If you thought Obama's first term was bad, just wait and see what he has in store for us now. Free-abortion on demand will likely become the law of the land. And you are responsible for it.

I condemn you, utterly and completely. God have mercy on you for what you have wrought in our country.

Pathetic responses.

You insult the multitude of mormon soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who have fought and died by equating their beliefs to islam.

Your single-minded religious fanaticism bears a close resemblance to the mullahs and their theocratic view of the world as a justification for preaching and doing what they do in the name of their god.

And don’t use “God made me do it” or told me to do it as an excuse.

Taking that line, God tells me that you are still a moron.

Go away, pray for the country, leave the mess to the rest of us.

I often tell well meaning Christians who defend Mormonism out of ignorance or through their faith aside to vote for Romney that NO amount of studying about Mormonism compares to living under it.

They paint this nice picture but we know that the reality is that is all a lie designed to make ‘the Church’ (never God, never Christ) look good.

To: Revelation 911

the notion of a God that is with a Country that practices infanticide, and endorses gay marriage is not a god I serve

Jesus died for people - He didnt die for a plot of land....the notion is Old Testament based and frankly, we live under a new Covenant.

Until this Nation people repent, not a thing will change, and we deserve every bit of His ire

No dumbass. It was Obama's to lose. Look at his f**king record! Look at the price of gas, of food, of goods! The situation in the ME!

Republican turnout was less than in 2008. The evangelical bigots handed us on Obama a silver platter, lost us a senate seat in Missouri and very likely across the country because Akin's comment allowed the rats to revive the "war on women" bullshit.

This was all due to the evangelicals sitting out. Sometimes I wonder whose side they are really on.

"All of the mittbots who hammered JR and FR, called us bigots and told us we were wrong - where are they at today. Mitt was unacceptable from the start because of his RECORD as governor."

They ran off with their tail between their legs KNOWING THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS !

They lowered their political standards and pushed draft dodging liberal liar Mitt for their religion and FLDS/LDS "Prophet" Joseph Smith's now-proven-false WHITE HORSE PROPHECY.

We Christian Conservatives, as a group, have been defiled by the leaven of both RINOism and other gods in one fell swoop.

On another note, I hate to admit that Harry Reid was right. Mitt Romney is not the spokesman for mormonism, HARRY IS !

Now that the evil-doer has been re-elected because Romney wasn’t good enough for people like you,

- - - - - -
It wasn’t that he wasn’t ‘good enough’ it was that HE wasn’t GOOD at all. He is a pale Obama, which is why he didn’t nail Obama on anything like abortion, gay marraige, etc.

Voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’ is still voting for evil and I won’t do it.

I despise Obama, but I also despise Romney and I know a couple of his family members (who also despise him).

It’s amazing after all these years of warning them, they now turn toward us with their anger.

Well, they hate that we were right. Romney is not electable and yesterday proved it.

I agree that Obama/Romney ‘choice’ was a punishment.

You are a FRAUD.....Romney could have beaten the MUSLIM Obama if “Evangelicals” would have voted for him.Christians live in the real world and choose from their OPTIONS....others live in a fairyland.

- - - - —
LOL. Ad hominum (abusive), sure sign you can’t debate the facts.

I agree some choose to live in fairyland, and fairlyland is thinking Romney could win. I live in the real world which is why I saw and have been saying for YEARS that Romney would lose and wasn’t electable.

So blame me, blame the evangelicals, blame everyone but those who are responsible, the RINOS who forced a liberal down our throats.

I’m not the one that is the fraud dear.
