New Republicans aer pretty much like the Old Republicans--don't like much diversity. They're preaching to a bunch of people that look just like they do. Intersting. Do you really think a liberal loving Jesus would be hanging out with this group?

OK, there may be a few more young evangelicals this time around but the vast majority of evangelicals will still vote Republican because doing so is as much a part of their faith as hating gay people.
NOTE: This is not a blast at Christianity in general, just at the evangelical interpretation of it.
