Rev. Graham Leaving GOP
 
Rev. Franklin Graham has said he is leaving the Republican Party over the Budget approved by Republicans that included funding for Planned Parenthood.

Republican leaders are very concerned that other evangelical ministers will do the same thing and take their evangelical flocks with them and stay home on Election Day.

Cruz is counting on evangelical white Christians to vote for him.

I have been a registered Republican since 1968 and I support Graham's actions. Today's politicians seem to run under the party logo they believe will get them elected but once elected they act in way and manner for their self interests and ensuring they are reelected.

Its why GOP has a disdain for the Tea party, for Trump. Carson, Forina, etc
But mostly its why the majority of voters are so frustrated

Had GOP taken a firm stand against Planned Parenthood funding perhaps they may not have stopped the funding bit they would have at least exposed the Planned Parenthood lie.

So voters ask well who fights for the moral imperative, traditional America, exceptional America, free America?

Personal Best Regards:

Typical of republican radicals, if you don't play the game exactly as I want I'll take my ball and go home.

The Republicans voted Paul Ryan in as the Speaker. He wisely did not believe that fighting the Planned Parenthood funding was important enough to close down the Federal government. The Republican party would have been seen as not willing to compromise and of obstructing the government. The times the Republicans shut down the government before did absolutely more harm than good to the Republicans.

Now, the question remains, will Franklin Graham's action take white Christian evangelican voters on his path and not vote for the GOP nominee?

Planned parenthood doesn't even make the top ten of problems we have in this country, with all due respect to the Reverend. This dialog just keeps us from addressing the real issues that are going to cause us a little pain. Like paying for war we are promoting.

It's like running away from home with no place to go. He'll be back.

Nice bait job. You are getting somewhat better at it, or is this just a quirk?

Gotta do the race thing? Are you that messed up?

Sorry, fella, but this is no bait post. Hate to mess up your day.

Evangelical white Christians are a cornerstone of the more conservative Republicans. Black Christians gravitate heavily to the Democrat party. But, you knew that.

Guest 12-28-2015 11:15 AM

Like any of Graham's followers were going to vote for Hillary.

Nope, it was a bait job. Using race is always just a ploy to bait. That's typical of racist liberals.

I'm a Christian and I have no intention of following Graham. He is NOT his father, and even if he was it wouldn't make any difference to me. I vote my OWN mind, not someone else's. I am not a needy, dependent liberal that needs someone else to make decisions for me. And I don't try to hide the fact that I am a Republican, like the liberal troll on here with multiple, Sybil like personalities, trying to fool us into thinking he is NOT REALLY a dependent, needy liberal. Perhaps he will vote for Kasich, or maybe he will vote for Trump. Sure.

Just google something on the order of this thread title and you will come up with many articles including those from FOX expressing concern over evangelical voters. You will also see information pertaining to white evangelical Christian voters and the Tea Party.

If you just want to vote Republican, do it. No problem with me. Just do so for reasons that are real and not just what the voices in your head say to do.

It truly sounds as though you are obsessed with just one person on this forum. Perhaps, stop posting on this forum and clear your head. Once again, no problem with me whatever you do.

No obsession, just an observation. If he wants to comment, far be it from me to interrupt. If he wants to have a conversation with himself, also fine. If he wants to get nasty like a juvenile, he is only embarrassing himself.

I have no voices in my head telling me how to vote. I vote according to my conservative ideology. I leave it to the liberals as far as being led around and told what to do and to which candidate to vote for.

I am not concerned about the Tea Party, or Christian voters that are so weak in their commitment that they would abandon their conservative ideology out of indignity, and spite. Personally, I don't believe the poster on here that wants to scare the conservatives with the idea of Graham leaving the GOP. I have more faith in my conservative ideologues that they will not let one stupid act of congress hinder their purpose of regaining a strong America. If Franklin feels that his demonstration is going to change the congressional vote, he's kind of mistaken. It's already over. And conservatives won't sabotage their own party out of spite, period.

And yes, I will vote Republican. I have no choice, I'm an American. Liberals are socialists and that is not an American ideology. That's Euorpean or whatever, but not American. So, yes I will vote Republican, even if there is a candidate that I don't care for. Because, I know that there is little chance that he/she is a socialist.

If conservatives/Republicans get mad at the budget vote then they are stupid for not understanding that there was no other way. Fighting that vote, would cause a Veto and a closing of the government. Exactly what Obama and the rest of the Anti-American socialists want. If Franklin and the Tea Party doesn't understand that, the I have given them more credit than they deserve. How much of a chance would we have of getting a Republican elected president if the Republicans cause a shut down? How many independent votes would the Republicans get if they defund Planned Parenthood? No, the idea is to pick your battles for gain, not principle. Principle will only doom the country right now. Like any war, there will be collateral damage. Democrats do not care about who or what is damaged, as long as they win. They are greedy and want to win EVERYTHING, so that will be their downfall.

And no, I wont' let you liberals chase me off of here. That is your agenda. I noticed that your liberal attacks have chased some posters away. The ones that wanted to discuss politics, not religion, candidates' children, Bush, Palin's morality, etc.

At any rate, who is Franklin Graham to the average person, anyway?

And I suppose you will leave the country if a socialist is elected. Goodness, you wouldn't want to live in a socialist country.
