So do only white people count now?
And this white Christian voted for Kerry. So did plenty more. There's a town north of here called St. Peter. It's very religious. You can almost be sure someone there is in church on Sunday. And it's almost as liberal as Minneapolis. Voted around 60% for Kerry.
btw, the Minnesota Senate Majority leader and thus the leader of the Democratic caucus is an ordained minister.
I should have said that a majority of white protestants voted for Bush. This is true I would imagine in the southern Bush states. Of course many voted for Kerry as well. I was just trying to agree with you that Christians voted in different ways.
Also, I hate to admit this, but I side with opebo with regards to the far right. The extreme far right hates me because I am a Jew. However, the far left hates me as well because I am a Jew. So I'm in the middle. It feels safer here. I know opebo gets bashed here a lot, but I just wanted to show that some Republicans can agree with him, though perhaps not to that extreme.
Opebo doesn't represent a large percentage of the democratic party, just the most vocal opebo part of the Democratic party. The far religious right doesn't represent a large percentage of the Republican party just the most vocal part. That being said, both sides control each party respectfully.
