NYT front-pager on Obama winning help from the evangelical community on the issue of immigration reform.
God bless ’em.
The founder of Liberty Counsel, Mathew D. Staver:
I am a Christian and I am a conservative and I am a Republican, in that order. There is very little I agree with regarding President Barack Obama. On the other hand, I’, not going to let politicized rhetoric or party affiliation trump my values, and if he’s right on this issue, I will support him on this issue.
Why the support?
As another evangelical pastor put it:
Hispanics are religious, family-oriented, pro-life, entrepreneurial. They are hard-wired social conservatives, unless they’re driven away.
Hispanics are estimated to be 70% Catholic and 15% evangelical.
