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...)"


The majority of those stating a preference DID vote Republican. Catholicism
is not the only Christian religion in the US. Nor did even the majority of
Catholics vote for Kerry (as you yourself admit).

Those remarks were about DEMOCRATS not Republicans, contrary to your claim
above.


Actually, my claim was more about the people voting for Bush. But
whatever...if you think that proves your point, more power to you.

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.


"Evangelical/fundamentalist Jews"? What's that, six people in the entire
US? Anyway, regardless, those aren't the evangelicals or fundamentalists I
was talking about, and you should know that.
