Evangelicals Refuse to Support Romney, Urge Voters to Write In Jesus (less votes for Romney)


NOTE: This is not a religion post, I am posting this news about the VOTES that Romney will NOT be getting
So, PLEASE do NOT discuss religion on this thread - let's stick to the issue of the 'votes'. Thank you



Evangelicals Refuse to Support Romney, Urge Voters to Write In Jesus

Internet evangelist Bill Keller is urging the faithful to promise to vote for Jesus for president in this election.

So far, his website, VotingforJesus.com, says it has more than 1.6 million pledges to write in the name of Jesus on their ballots instead of any other presidential candidate.

If even half of those who signed the pledge vote accordingly, this could signal real trouble for Mitt Romney in close races by reducing the pool of voters who usually opt for the GOP.

I know plenty of Evangelicals that have said Mormonism is a cult, but are still going to vote for Romney..

but many of them vote based solely on abortion and/or gay marriage. If there is one thing I can't stand, it is hypocrisy.. I would respect them more if they actually practiced what they preached..

Then again, I think there's something in the Constitution about needed a pulse to be president.
