US evangelicals warn Republicans

By Jamie Coomarasamy
BBC News, Washington

Prominent leaders from the Christian right have warned Republicans they must do more to advance conservative values ahead of the US mid-term elections.

Their message to Congress, controlled by Republicans, is "must do better".

Snip...

At a news conference in Washington, some of America's most influential conservative leaders said the current perception among evangelical Christians was that the Republican majority was not doing enough for them.

Snip...

But according to a recent opinion poll, the number of them who want Republicans to retain their Congressional majority is not much above 50%.

2. Evangelicals to gop

If you don't codify our hate we will not pray for you. Their agenda is totally to pass laws which will not effect them. They hate gays, they hate women, I truly believe they hate themselves. They are liars, they are selfish, they are ignorant. They are sad disgusting cretins. They are the number one domestic enemy of the constitution. It must suck having such people as your base.
