The so called “value” voters came out in droves in 2004 and helped the Republicans retain control of Congress, as well as the presidency. Or so they say.
Whatever happened in ‘04, this time the “value” voters are catching on to the tiny fact that Republicans may say they stand for values, what they do is something different altogether. What’s worse (for Republicans anyayway) is that these “value” voters feel duped and don’t seem to have any qualms about telling the general public about that.
A news release from one of Amerca’s largest “faith based” organizations, the Christian Defense Coalition:
There is a strong feeling that the Republican Party courts evangelicals to vote in elections but fails to act aggressively on fulfilling campaign promises.
Many are also asking why they should work so hard for republican candidates when after years of controlling the House, Senate and the White House Republican leadership has accomplished so little?
The 2006 mid-term elections are demonstrating to the Republican Party they can no longer take the faith communities vote and support for granted. Christian Defense Coalition
