Romney "according to polls" is leading with Evangelicals

7. Doesn't matter if they say they don't like Romney. What they do in the booth is another matter.

That's in private, that's sometimes why polls miss the mark. But as far as evangelicals voting against Obama and marriage equality, yes they will vote for Romney when the chips are down.

Evangelical church members supported Bush and torture when they were polled by shocking margins. They haven't changed their minds even though the person they claim to love was tortured Himself.

There is nothing inconsistent with this and the process of forming a nationalist religion as the GOP has been pushing since the days of Reagan. Religion is a vital part of creating the fascist state, per Mussolini.

This is the minefield Obama is marching through. Many acts of terrorism and assassination are carried out in fits of religious zealotry.

I've known people like this in the past, no longer attend such churches, but they are still thriving financially, socially and politically. My current churched friends are anti-war and anti-torture and for full rights for all and social justice. But their groups are getting smaller.

That is my real world observation. We ignore them at our peril. Stay strong.
