Conflicted Evangelicals Could Cost Bush Votes

Wed Oct 27, 7:55 AM ET


By Peter Wallsten Times Staff Writer

BROOKFIELD, Wis. — With their ardent, Bible-based opposition to abortion and gay marriage, evangelical Christians are a key target of the massive Republican get-out-the-vote drive heading into next week's election. Party leaders consider conservative Christians to be as near a lock for President Bush (news - web sites) as any group can be.


But GOP strategists might want to have a chat with Tim Moore, an evangelical who teaches civics at a traditional Christian school near Milwaukee. He shares Bush's religious convictions, but says the president has lost his vote because of tax cuts for the wealthy and the administration's shifting rationales for invading Iraq (news - web sites).

"There's no way I'm going for Bush. That much I know," said Moore, 46. He remains undecided between Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry (news, bio, voting record) of Massachusetts and a third-party candidate.

But, I suspect that we're seeing freepers and DUers cancelling each other out - lots of activity, no change in the average.

7. The GOP thinks they own the evangelical Christian vote. They don't.

Almost the whole GOP platform goes against Christian values. Violence and war. Hurt don't help the poor (and middle-class). Moneylenders in the churches. Blatant lying and trickery.

Christians who vote Republican should have their heads checked, imho.

Unfortunately, this long article doesn't talk about Democratic Christians and why Democratic Christians believe that the Democratic Party platform best supports our faith.
