Research shows many young white evangelical Christians are moving away from the Republican Party... and where do they go?

I told him there is only one more place to go in his "Counter Reformation" and still remain within the confines of the Christian faith...namely becoming a Roman Catholic. But then he would have to dump his wife and explain his five kids to the parish... TO jmjones: That is what I decided on two years ago..a political independent.

I voted for Bush the first time, having believed the "compassionate conservative" scam.
