I did not write the article republicans! I posted to share with you and would like to know if you disagree or agree and why.please read all of the article.
So long as Democrats settle for that one quarter of the pie, it is no wonder that they keep losing ground. But this is especially sad, considering what the polling reveals, i.e. that despite the efforts of the G.O.P. and their allies of the Religious Right, and the lethargy of the Democrats, the only religious group that actually favored the G.O.P. in the summer leading up to the 1996 elections was the "white evangelicals" and only by a surprisingly small margin at that! If only the Democratic Party had capitalized on this dramatic advantage, instead of ignoring it, the outcome of those elections might have been Democratic control of Congress, along with the Presidency!
Click here for more recent, and very interesting statistics which show what portion of the electorate votes largely on the basis of moral values, and how that vote effected the outcome of the first election of this millennium: "Values Voters" in the 2000 election.
Those who assume that the G.O.P. "owns" the Christian vote are simply mistaken. They may even be contributing to a self-fulfilling prophecy, by repelling Christians into the arms of the Republican Party. We "Liberals Like Christ" are trying to help our fellow Christians see that in America today the Democratic Party is much closer to the teaching of Jesus and the other great prophets of the Bible than is today's Republican Party.
Conservatives, however, dominate to various degrees most of the white Christian churches in America today. Even those that ARE sympathetic are so self-centered that they will do nothing to promote "Liberals Like Christ" because we do not promote their denomination. So if word is going to get out about "Liberals Like Christ", it will only happen if Liberals and Democrats like yourselves do it.
