Five Religious Right Myths Exposed in Election Defeat

09 Nov 2012 11:30 #1 by Raees
The Religious Right took a drubbing at the polls yesterday as voters rejected not only Mitt Romney but also some of the most extreme Republican candidates, even those in races that should have been easy Republican victories. Like other conservatives, many Religious Right activists predicted a big victory for Romney and Republicans in the U.S. Senate based on five myths they hold about the electorate:

Myth #1: Americans want a ‘True Conservative’

Myth #2: Blacks will Defect from Obama over Gay Rights

Myth #3: Hispanics are ‘Natural Allies’ of the Religious Right

Myth #4: Catholics Abandoning Obama for ‘Declaring War’ on the Church

Myth #5: Evangelical Wave Waiting in the Wings

Taxes are going up. And Barack Obama does support a new assault weapons ban. And Diane Feinstein supports a new ban that would grandfather currently owned guns and magazines.

Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
