Churches as Agents of the Republican Party
November 5, 2012
It is bad enough that churches promote the idea that one should vote Republican since that is the lesser of two evils. Voting for evil is evil, even if it is a lesser evil (which Republicans are not anyway). Recently I heard of a church not only advising people to vote but offering to pick them up and drive them to their polling place. Voting is to them a sacred duty I suppose. Even worse is churches letting county election offices use their buildings as polling places.

Actually, It's People Who Vote Who Have No Right To Complain
