#1 There are still a few sticking points, however:
- Evangelicals believe in God; Democrats don't.
- Evengelicals believe life begins at conception, Democrats don't.
- Evengelicals believe God intended marriage to be between a man and a woman, Democrats don't.
- Evengelicals believe the United States is a good country, Democrats don't.
- etc.

#5 My Cthulhu for President pack a few years back had the Cthulhu/Perot ticket. I doubt He's a Democrat.

#6 I'm not saying we're going to agree with everything, between the more conservative evangelicals and the Democrats, but there's a lot more common ground than most people realize, and we're willing to work with the evangelical community, Dean said.

Perfect.... "most people realize." Which means, in the view of Dean and the Dems.....most people are yes, simply quite stupid. Unfortunately for you Howie, not stupid enough to believe Dems and Evangelicals have much in common. Fidel Castro and George Patton both liked good cigars, but I suspect thats where the similarities might have ended.

#7 pity for him that the Evangelicals aren't willing to work for him. Nice try though.

Well, I'm pretty sure Cthulhu's a southerner. After all, Ryleh will rise again.

#11 Classical Dem mindset. It's all about feelings not about facts. The Dem "wish" they had much in common with the Evans cause it would keep them in power.

#13 The differences between a true evangelical and a democrat are of course too numerous to mention, so I'll leave that list to others.

Here's the main problem: Evangelicals believe the Bible. Any policy, belief or practice that goes against it's tenets (like pretty much the entire Democrartic Party Platform) must be laid aside in favor of it's teachings.

Dean and his godless ilk believe religion is an add-on to a person's life, i.e, "let's mix in a little 'spirituality'". Of course it doesn't matter what 'spirituality' you are talking about, because in their world view all beliefs are equally valid.

Biblical evangelicals believe religion is the centerpiece of their life, not an add-on. And the whole point of 'evangelizing' is to turn people away from what they consider false beliefs to the one true God and faith in Christ.

These two concepts are diametrically opposed to each other. Once again, Dean just doesn't get it. There may be some well meaning but ill-informed evangelicals who won't see through the ruse, but I won't be one of them.
