I have four words for evangelicals who won’t vote McCain/Romney
- Posted by Chris on July 31st, 2008 filed in Barack Obama, Candidates, General, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Politics, Stupid
If you’re an evangelical that is supporting McCain and won’t cry if Romney is on his ticket, then my four words are “have a nice day”. You can stop reading. If, however, you are one of the evangelicals warning McCain that he better not take Romney because he’s a Mormon, then this is for you:
Eat. Sh*t. And. Die.
The idiot wing of the republican party is up to it again. First, they reject McCain. Then they complain when he’s the nominee. Hey buttwipes! You are responsible for McCain being the nominee. You didn’t like any of the people that could beat Barack or Hillary (including McCain) because they didn’t conform to your small minded viewpoints. Instead, you supported Huckabee. Freaking Huckabee! Mike “rewrite the constitution to conform to (his interpretation of) God’s law” Huckabee. Mike “subjugate women to their husbands” Huckabee. Mike “if we tied up all the democrats and independents and only allowed republicans to vote he still couldn’t be elected” Huckabee. You made a vote decision that defies any intellect whatsoever. A vote that is so close in stupidity to voting for Obama it’s hard to tell which is worse. Huckabee has quotes that make Obama’s misstatements look like a Cambridge Scholar. Even a republican only electorate would vote Obama over Huckabee you idiots. But, hey, he hates gays so he’s your man! Who cares that he is more liberal than McCain, Hillary or Rudy when it comes to fiscal irresponsibility and social engineering policy. Who cares that his policy twin is Bill Clinton. He’s your man! Brilliant. You could have supported Fred! Or Rudy. You could have pressured someone like JC Watts to come out. But no, you went for Mike “rewrite the constitution” Huckabee. Morons.
So after picking someone who even most republicans think is a loser, they have the audacity to tell him he better not pick Romney for his VP because he’s a Mormon. Really now? Seriously? McCain is the one candidate of the republican party that enjoyed telling you to go screw the devil and you think you can threaten him with a lack of support if he doesn’t cowtow to your bidding?
Hey idiots: BLOW ME! We are trying to win the presidency. If a Romney can deliver a state like Michigan where he and his family are immensely popular, then McCain should pick him and tell you to blow it out your pompous rears again. And, if you are dumb enough to tell McCain that you won’t vote for him because his running mate is a Mormon, then you are just like the daily Kos kids: too stupid to be allowed to vote.
Besides, here’s a newsflash for you: You stayed home in 2000 and we still won. We didn’t even break a sweat with your minimal support in 2004. You’re not nearly as powerful as you once were or think you are. Threats will get you nowhere because you haven’t gotten us anywhere for the last 2 elections. We’ll find a way without you. And when we do, you will rightly find yourself out in the cold.
Now, in fairness, on my local radio station they had evangelicals call in and a number, to their credit, said that they liked Romney’s conservative creds. Some even said that Romney would take them out of the “not voting” category and get them to vote McCain because he’s a great candidate. Unfortunately, there were a bunch from the idiot wing, that called and repeated the statements of the ones documented in the story. Because Romney is a Mormon, they won’t vote for McCain if he takes him. Idiots. Complete f’ing idiots. The sooner we can lose that part of our party, the better.

Here’s the simple math: every extra abortion due to an Evangelical enabling Obama to become POTUS and appointing Ruth Bader Ginsburg clones to the bench is on the heads of the Evangelicals.
Julie Sequeira says:
This is an election for president not for the spiritual leader of the country. Why is rommney’s religion a factor?
Josh says:
I’d love to read what you have to say about Obama and the race card he’s been trying to pull.
Sara says:
The sad part about the no vote for a Mormon evangelicals is that Romney is probably far better versed on the Bible and religion than any of them and probably lives a better life too.
Romney is very popular in Calif. as well as Michigan and many of the mountain states. He is the economic guru that McCain needs, he is fluent in French, unlike Obama who says you need a foreign language but has none himself. And although there have been some problems with his universal health care in Massachusetts, mostly because it ended up being too popular, it is still superior to either McCain’s or Obama’s and knowing Romney, he’ll take a hard look at the glitches and fix them before advocating for it nationally.
If McCain doesn’t choose him, he’s an idiot. But if he doesn’t then I hope he names him to head the RNC.
Stix says:
I couldn;t agree with you more. I know I really do not like McCain,orfor that matter Romeny. But will Ivote for Obama, Hell no. Or Bob Barr?? Another Hell not, hehasnot chance and he is as wierd as Ron Paul.
If the Republicans do not get their heads out of thier asses waiting for the reincarnation f Reagan to come then we are going to be in the forest for a long time. And we will have laid down to the Socialists like Obama.
As Reagan said, “it is betterto get 80% of what you want than nothing at all”.
The Gentle Cricket says:
I’m glad you’re saying this. I get so frustrated when my liberal friends (I’m young…all my friends are liberals :) claim that the Republicans are slaves to the extreme religious right. Its not true…yet, when the overzealous evangelists get so much press, it seems to strengthen their argument. Our party should stand for issues that parallel our faith…not issues that directly represent our faith.
Greg says:
Yes but how could we tolerate a VP (one stroke away from being president) who believes that an invisible golden book, which could only be seen by one man found buried in a hill is the true word of the Lord?
Aaron's cc: says:
Religious right? How is McCain more conservative than pro-Second Amendment anti-totalitarian traditional Dems like Hubert Humphrey or Scoop Jackson?
To paraphrase Saint Rummy, the greatest SecDef since WWII, “As you know, you have to go to the voting booth with the candidates you have, not the candidates you want.”
John says:
Brilliant! Well put, Chris
Chris says:
Aaron: Amen!
Julie: because some people are idiots.
Josh: Let me work on that one.
Sara: You are dead on right. If we had more elected Mormons, we would not have nearly as many scandals in our party.
Stix, Gentle Cricket, John: Thank you.
Greg: I don’t care if he thinks that we were planted by martians and watered every day for a month and poof the human race grew. If he is a conservative who will push for limited government interference, lower taxes and lower spending, securing the borders, deporting the illegals, slicing up of social programs, etc then I welcome him into the party. And, yes, to answer the next question, even if he was a muslim, I would still support him, so long as he had no problem slaughtering the millitants of his religion who are killing innocents. We’re electing a president and no one (well, aside from the Messiah Obama) is perfect. I would rather get a Romney than a Huckabee any day. In fact, Huckabee as VP would make me vote Barr.
Chris says:
And further, the fact that 26.3 percent voted for Huckabee shows the party has accumulated way too many gullible idiots. It’s sad that we once depended on that idiocy for support. Fortunately, that need is over.
mary446 says:
The only way I’ll send McCain money is if he picks Romney for VP. Any idea when the decision will be made?
Chris says:
Mary, Rumors have been flying left and right, but typically they wait until right before their convention or even a day or so into it.
Beth says:
STANDING OVATION, Chris!!!
Oh, and Greg - I guess you won’t be voting for the Obamateur, either. Awesome. :D

[...] my last post, 4 words for Huckabee supporting evangelicals, John asked me what I thought about Obama playing the race card. He is playing it more and more as [...]
Expendable says:
Right on. I’m sick of the way the party wastes time on petty issues like gay-bashing and abortion. We’re in for the fight of our lives against jihadists. I’m glad that someone sees that it’s better to spend time, money, and effort on things that really matter, and not idiotic concerns like two men marrying.
Keep in mind that the Holocaust helped cost Hitler the Second World War. In between the sheer waste of manpower (both among those he murdered and those who did the murdering), the absurd cost, and the drain on resources, concentration camps sucked resources away from things like better jet fighters or a longer ranged V-2. Let’s not fall into the same quagmire.

“Yes but how could we tolerate a VP (one stroke away from being president) who believes that an invisible golden book, which could only be seen by one man found buried in a hill is the true word of the Lord?”
And Obama, the self-professed Christian, carries around an idol of Lord Hanuman and will be receiving a 2 foot tall gold idol of Hanuman. Pity there’s no authority in Christendom who has the cojones to tell the Obamessiah that HE SHOULDN’T DO THAT!
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/PoliticsNation/Obama_seeks_Hanumans_blessing_for_White_House_rac...
Maybe this should be the chorus for the Obama campaign song:
Well, I hope were not too messianic
Or a trifle too satanic
We love to play the blues
Well I am just a monkey man
I’m glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe
I’m a monkey
I’m a monkey
I’m a monkey man
I’m a monkey man
I’m a monkey…
Can someone tell me why nobody has asked Obama how his wife Michelle’s political positions are different from Cynthia McKinney’s?
Aaron's cc: says:
A little more. Apparently Hanuman is an avatar of Shiva, the destroyer.
Christians ought to be a bit more aware of this.

As opposed to the Hucktards who belive the Earth is only 4-5 thousand years old and the dinosaurs are a scientific fraud to weaken the Bible?
As opposed to those who believe that you can just say “I am saved” and then go on murdering and other things and it’s all ok?
As opposed to those who say that the universe was created in a day when the Bible story says that the universe was created before the Earth and since the Earth is the very device that calculates what a day is there was no in in hell of knowing exactly how long it really took?
Yeah, an Angel showing a person who asked in genuine want of what he should do is so hard to believe compared to that.
Don’t even get me started on the KJV of the Bible and it’s reasons for being retranslated. We won’t go there. I already have enough people who hate me.
PWConservative says:
You should be careful how you speak to us “Evangelicals”
Without us, Republicans won’t win a single southern state, We have a right to vote our Values. We are only Republicans as long as the GOP is Pro-Life, We aren’t against Romney because He’s a Morman, We’re against Romney because we don’t trust his views on values issues.
Stop Talking down to the Christians, Your only sabotaging McCain.
Chris says:
Expendable, I’m with you to a point. If a state wants to worry about two dudes then it most certainly has the right to do so as addressed in the 10th ammendment. I agree with you that “issues with gays” are too much a distraction and really aren’t as bad as the frothing at the mouth folks think.
I will take issue with abortion. Right to life is in our founding documents. Abortion leads to a cheapening of life. Look at Obama’s stopping of the infant born alive act in Illinois. A live baby, on the doctor’s table, killed. If not for the acceptance of abortion as a method of birth control and the ability of people who support it twisting the morality around it, that would never be tolerated.
Chris says:
PWConservative:
Please re-read the post and the article. I am addressing those evangelicals who say Romney cannot be VP because of his religion. It’s in my opening lines.
With that in mind:
1. If you take issue with Romney because of his positions, FINE! That’s a-ok. No problem. I have severe problems with a lot of McCain’s stands. That’s politics. If Romney’s stands on issues or what he has done as governor makes you say “no way” then I RESPECT THAT COMPLETELY. I may disagree, but it will be polite. In this post, however, I am addressing the idiots, and yes, they are f’ing idiots, who say his religion dq’s him from the VP slot.
2. I’m a Christian. I am not talking down to Christians. I am talking down to idiots who make us look bad. Those who think 2 dudes buggering each other in the back room is more important than lower taxes or muslim terrorists. People that think because someone is not a southern baptist, he can’t be president.
3. You do have a right to vote values. Actually, you have an obligation to do so. So do I. Values like pro-life, 2nd ammendment, lower taxes are what make you and I republicans. Well, they used to. The party seems to be abandoning these things, but it’s what made us the party in the past. No one has said don’t vote values. Some values, however, are dumber than hell. Like saying, “I don’t like his church, so he can’t be VP”
4. In 2000, evangelicals by and large stayed home. In 2004 some came out, but not nearly as many as was hoped. In both cases, we won without them.
5. Evangelicals are not the Christian movement. They are a very small but vocal part of it. We cannot win without Christians, true, but we can win without evangelicals.
Aaron's cc: says:
PWC… the Evangelical threats to stay home never address my point that by doing so to the degree that costs the GOP the 2008 election == the difference in abortions between a flawed McCain-Romney presidency and an Obama presidency would be entirely the Evangelical’s fault. Every justice appointed by the most leftwing president in history from 2009 to 2012 would have the self-righteous imprimateur of the religious right.
As Victor Davis Hanson so often observes, the perfect is the enemy of the good.
Staying home and NOT aggressively campaigning to defeat Obama will be judged.
Smug petulant Bible Belt anti-Mormonism will give us Hanuman-idol-worshipping Obama. If Hanuman, an avatar of Shiva the destroyer, is more acceptable to Evangelical Christianity than LDS, we’re doomed and not even the Evangelicals will be able to save this country.
