Holier Than Though Religious Right Isn't Quite As Holy as Before
From AP:
The number of people who consider the Republican Party friendly to religion has dipped below half in the last year, with declines among white evangelicals and white Catholics.>..."I don't care if it rains or freezes
But the GOP remains far more closely tied to religion than the Democratic Party.
The number of people who consider the GOP friendly to religion dropped from 55 percent to 47 percent — with a 14-point drop among white evangelical conservatives and an 11-point drop among white Catholics, according to the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Only a fourth, 26 percent, considered the Democratic Party friendly to religion — about the same as last year.
Religious voters have been a key voting bloc in recent elections with the most devout Protestant, Catholic and evangelical voters leaning strongly toward Republicans.
longs I got my plastic Jesus
ridin' on the dashboard of my car...
I can go a hundred miles an hour
longs I got the almighty power
right up there with my pair of fuzzy di-ii-ice.
