Evangelicals feel "used"

that's because they have been - cynically, shamelessly, and abusively...
Many evangelicals "feel used and taken for granted by the Republican Party," according to a release issued by the Washington, D.C. based Christian Defense Coalition.

"If Republicans lose the House or Senate, they only have themselves to blame," said the group's director, Rev. Pat Mahoney, who was formerly with the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue. "They have failed to energize and empower faith and value voters which provide a critical base of support for the Republican Party."

Rev. Mahoney claims that many evangelicals believe that the Republican Party "courts them during elections and then abandons and ignores them after the election is over."

i'd be tempted to do a "toldja," but i DESPISE manipulation, particularly when the ones being manipulated are people of faith (whether i agree with them or not is beside the point), and they're being manipulated in the service of such a blatantly evil agenda...
