Basically what happened is the Republicans rounded up the evangelical leaders and said &quot;those dem&#x27;s are weak on communism, vote for us or Russia will kill God&quot; and it worked.<p>One of the &#x27;interesting&#x27; side effects is that when Republicans decided to become anti abortion to get Catholic votes it forced a bunch of previously pro choice or neutral evangelical groups to become virulently anti abortion out of percieved duty.
