Evangelicals Disappointed, but Faith Not Shaken in GOP

"If we don't get our act together, we could lose our voice," he said. "Some of the more moderate evangelicals could be swayed."

Beam noted that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., had hired a full-time consultant to help her speak to evangelical audiences and that Democrats are looking for ways to pick up votes in the community.

Most of them expressed alarm about Rudy Giuliani, who is an abortion-rights advocate and a moderate on social issues. They predicted that if he won the nomination, many evangelicals would sit out the election.

"If they take the abortion issue off the table , then other issues get oxygen like economic justice and the environment," said Land. "They will have given the Democratic candidate a license to go after evangelicals on those issues."

"If Giuliani wins the nomination, we're moving away," said Beam, who supports former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. "It's a sign that the party is no longer lining itself up in any way for the evangelical community."

Reinforces that I believe those who follow these "Evangelical" leaders and listen to them tout the GOP are SUCKERS!
