Obama Courting Evangelicals Once Loyal to Bush
Obama Courting Evangelicals Once Loyal to Bush - NYTimes.com:
“Between now and November, the Obama forces are planning as many as 1,000 house parties and dozens of Christian rock concerts, gatherings of religious leaders, campus visits and telephone conference calls to bring together voters of all ages motivated by their faith to engage in politics. It is the most intensive effort yet by a Democratic candidate to reach out to self-identified evangelical or born-again Christians and to try to pry them away from their historical attachment to the Republican Party.”
Notwithstanding the important points raised here by Ludditerobot about the Supreme Court, I do have to basically agree with Tony’s comments the other day about Obama’s shameless pandering. That, and I find anyone trying to appeal to Christian Evangelists as scary as hell. I’m thinking that we need fewer of these end-times nutjobs around rather than more, but what do I know? I actually find evolution and photosynthesis and, like, science compelling.
