I do love the evangelicals here in America.
They are disenchanting moderate Republican voters and destroying their strong-hold on the country, one Pat Roberton speech at a time.
Prominent leaders from the Christian right have warned Republicans they must do more to advance conservative values ahead of the US mid-term elections.
Their message to Congress, controlled by Republicans, is "must do better".
Support from about a quarter of Americans who describe themselves as evangelicals was a factor in President George W Bush's two election victories.
The Republicans will need to keep them onboard if they are to retain control of Congress in November.
At a news conference in Washington, some of America's most influential conservative leaders said the current perception among evangelical Christians was that the Republican majority was not doing enough for them.
Do tell...please keep up the good work, guys. Things like this will make a Democratic take-over of a lame-duck Congress a more "doable" task.
Low voter turn-out favors the Dems, and you guys are pushing away your moderate base more and more everyday. Sixty million plus of us give you an enthusiastic thumbs-up!
