The point is you're wrong with respect to Democrats.


Please quote my incorrect statement.

All I said is that the *REPUBLICANS* have shifted to being a very
pro-evangelical / fundamentalist party over the last couple of decades. I
don't see how you can sit there as write "you're wrong with respect to
Democrats" since my entire contribution to this section of the thread has
been about Republicans.


You said, "so what? First, they [DEMOCRATS] haven't done a very effective job
(or the "religious
left" is very tiny), since those who state a religious preference of any sort
of Christianity are strongly in the Bush camp (again based on polls...)"

Those remarks were about DEMOCRATS not Republicans, contrary to your claim
above. I pointed out that Sen Kerry won nearly half of Catholic votes. Last
time I checked, Catholicism is a sort of Christian religion, and a pretty big
one at that. And 3/4 of evangelical/fundamentalist Jews voted Kerry as well.
