Christians, why do you vote Republican?
October 6, 2008I know all Christians don’t vote Republican, however, those who claim they are Christian overwhelmingly vote Republican. Why is that? The main answer is to change the Supreme Court about abortion. But, I think it goes deeper than that. Part of the answer can be found in Sara Diamond’s books on the Christian Right and the Christian Right’s leaders’ deals with the Republican Party leadership to bring in votes to the Republican Party.
This works very well in the Evangelical Churches, because rightwing political hot button issues are continually inserted in sermons and it will continue to increase until the election is over.
I attend an Evangelical Church and last week we got to hear about–9/11, abortion and homosexuals in that order. Yet abortion, homosexuals and 9/11 aren’t all that convinces many of these individuals to vote Republican. Sure, we all get Dr. James Dobson inserts (and believe me for many of the people who he says to vote for, that is who they vote for).
