Franklin Graham: We Lost a WI Supreme Court Seat Because Christians Didn’t Vote
Evangelist Franklin Graham is very upset about the recent election for Wisconsin Supreme Court in which the more progressive candidate ran away with the victory.
He wants to make sure that doesn’t happen in November in the midterm elections, so he’s calling on his base to be on the lookout for so-called “progressives.”
“… Christians should be aware of candidates who call themselves progressive. Progressive is generally just a code word for someone who leans toward socialism, a person who does not believe in God, and someone who will likely vote against Godly principles that are so important to our nation. Do your research and vote for Christians when possible, or at least select candidates who would be supportive of Christian positions. The people of Wisconsin just lost one of their state Supreme Court Judge seats to a progressive. In my opinion, if Christians had come out to vote, this very key seat would not have been lost.“
I don’t know what’s worse: Graham’s screed against a judicial nominee of Jewish descent? Him claiming that progressive is synonymous to Socialist which is synonymous with atheist? His lack of recognition that many consider Jesus to be a Socialist?
Maybe it’s the idea that True Christians™ can only vote for a right-wing candidate, and those voting for Democrats (or, in this case, a non-partisan candidate supported by Democrats) are somehow traitors to their faith.
We don’t have exit poll data for this particular race, but it’s a given that Christians came out to vote. This is Wisconsin, after all, and more than 80% of Democrats believe in God.
Graham doesn’t recognize them because the only real Christians in his mind are those who support Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
He refuses to acknowledge that Trump is a disaster and Wisconsin’s conservative-dominated judiciary has become so corrupt that voters are demanding change and choosing more sensible candidates.
I hope that continues well into November.

But wait ... I keep hearing about how 3/4 of the US is Christian! According to Graham, that cannot be possible. I wonder what the percentage of “True Christians™” is in the US? Probably in the single digits.
I think we can see what the amount of "True Christians" are by looking at the percentage in Trumps approval ratings.
A vain glorious son of a preacher man known as Franklin Graham needs to grow the hell up even if he is sixty five years olde.
BTW, Franklin Graham's personal net worth is estimated at more than $25,000,000. Not bad for fleecing his vulnerable flock...
I don't think the non-existence of a myth had anything to do with the out come of an election anymore then it did why my Michigan Wolverines lost in the NCAA basketball finals a few days ago...damn it!
Besides Franklin Graham is an insane, racist version of his father who should be praying most of all that that there really is no hell.
How nice, he insulted every ''Christian'' that voted. Oh wait, they are the wrong kind of Christian..
Apparently it was god's will that born again scum don't sit on that judicial bench.

Though I myself am a heathen and admittedly it has been some time since I have cracked the book, if I am not mistaken Jesus Christ (the guy that put the Christ in Christian) was a progressive kind of fellow.
A paradox of sorts, is it not?
The court seat isn't the only loss for the republicans.
Patty is probably one of those ''other Christians''.....
