Religious Voters and Election 2008

Zogby International's tracking poll of likely Democratic voters in the April 22 Pennsylvania primary offers a picture of how well Hillary Clinton did with Catholic voters, especially white Catholics, and with white evangelicals. Hispanic and African American Catholics were evenly split between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and Obama had the overwhelming support of non-white evangelicals and Protestants.

I think the Evagelicals are the most dangerous group of people in this country. I do not see how people can be so dogmatic and fanatical on such a religion. Christianity may be alright-but, not the the point of extremism and ''holier than thou'' concepts. They think they are the only way. They are not. It is too bad they have to vote.
