#3 \| 102 days ago faithsports13 (+)	+2 I do not believe so. I think it all comes down to each evangelical pastor. I mean, each pastor is different and not all, have the same belief and faith. Some pastors would not associate with a certain politican, because the politican's stance of issues.

I know I sure don't! +5 Egad, I hope you are just attempting to be funny because if not you have no clue what a real evangelical is; I do however that there are many of the "more vocal" evangelical clowns that get the T.V. time that give true evangelical Christians a bad name. I'll even go so far as to wonder about their true salvationary stance. Now, Evangelicals have had their political clout demoted if not nearly destroyed by a few men who allowed POWER to override their faith. If they would have stuck to their faith leading their entrance to the political arena then they and the movement wouldn't have becoming a laughing stock to so many. My opionion which is like ear lobes, every one has a couple but they may not be all that attrative! Sometimes. It depend on the candidate or the issue.

I believe that God is al knowing so he sure doesn't need my help. Sometimes. It depend on the candidate or the issue.

#7 \| 102 days ago derms33 (+)	+5 I personnaly could care less who an evangelical endorses, but it does matter to a lot of people. No. Evangelicals have a lot of clout in the political field.

#8 \| 102 days ago Scott Senay (+)	+3 Why any candidate has to be beholden to any church over governing the country is beyond be to begin with. It honestly frightens me that any politician would promise anything to any religious sect. You govern for the people not for your religion. Yes. Political candidates often don't deliver on promises they made before they were elected.

#9 \| 101 days ago kantwistaye (+)	+4 Being an evangelical myself, I'd say yes - at least within my own church. Very few do very little thinking of their own, and vote soley on abortion and gay marriage, instead of the real pressing issues that our nation is facing right now. Its a bit disappointing.

#10 \| 100 days ago vindog (+)	+2 Unfortunately, Religion and Evangelists have way too much power in the political arena!!! One of GW's main selling points was his "Moral Values" and the religious right pushed the issue to the point of getting "Gay Marriage" issues put on alot of States general election ballots which in turn brought out more voters that would vote mainly on "moral issues" instead of the condition of Iraq, health care, social security, etc; etc.... No. Evangelicals have a lot of clout in the political field.

We're not even going to go into mysterious 2004 ballots in Ohio where people voted for gay marriage to be legal, THEN voted for Bush for president.... Yes.

#14 \| 98 days ago RedBirdRage (+)	+2 Kantwistaye is right. As it ends up, the "votes" for Bush on these ballots had stickers placed on them blocking the Kerry vote from the computer and showing it as a vote for Bush. This is just one of quite a few cases of vote tampering that happened in Ohio under the watch of then-State Attorney General Ken Blackwell... who coincidentally was also the deputy chairman of Bush's reelection campaign. Yes. Political candidates often don't deliver on promises they made before they were elected.
