Of course politicians are using them, that’s what politicians do.

darwinluvsu,

Exactly, the democrats are pandering to the exact same crowd to try and sway them to their side. They are no better. But the evangelicals, I know my friend does, think the republicans are “god’s party”. My friend had a “baptist for bush” bumper sticker. He votes straight republican, no matter who they are.

Just look over Phreedm's posts.<br /> <br /> I don't know how much of an effect the current problems in the Republican Party will have on the "god push". I guess we'll all know if there is truly a shift in the other direction in about a month. It is in the nature of many in the religious right to hold their chosen leaders infallible.

Just look at the results and comments from a recent opinion poll.

72% of Americans say the president should have strong religious beliefs
65% say churches should endorse candidates
51% say churches should express views on political matters
41% say there is too little expression of faith and prayer by political leaders
“The candidate I am going to vote for is the right guy from that standpoint. Each time he has a speech he puts God in there and I like that,”
“I will ask my Father, my master Jesus Christ what man I would like to have [as president]“, he said. “Which man believes in Jesus Christ the most?”
I choose in my own heart to believe that we are all made in Christ’s image, but if I think something is wrong I really will speak out, and I think this country is on the wrong track,we need God back in charge”
So let your invisible friend in the sky make the vote for you.
