Rep. Joseph Cao Calls Christian Group 'Ignorant' for Costing Him Election

Looks like the people in this district are smart!! This idiot just voted with the dems to pass the dream act!! Glad to see he'll be gone soon!! Maybe he can wait in the unemployment line will all those ILLEGALS that he so loves and supports!!

I'd say it's more like.... he wasn't popular enough or well known enough. But then..... isn't this the age of blaming someone else... anyone else for one's own short comings?

A stand against the family'? However there are other types of families than the nuclear....

What a tragedy. Cao exercised some independent thought and voted for what he thought was best. For that, he got ambushed by the Religious Right. I fear for this country when extremist religious groups threaten politicians for voting on even one matter that those leaders don't like. We don't live in a theocracy. Yet.

This last election was not about religion.. It was about taxes and spending...

Keep on attacking Christians. You confirm their faith. They know that they are to be persecuted. I am a Christian but not a Republican. I don't hate because of my faith. I do approach social issues based on my faith. What a person does in his or her bedroom is between the individual and God. Just don't try to change my values or infringe on my right not to be exposed to whatever. Good works don't save you; no one can be perfect enough for God. Christians are NOT perfect but are SAVED! Christians do not suppress rights but stand for what is right in the eyes of God. They are not hate groups. There are groups that claim to be Christian but do not pass the test. And one does not have to be Christian to oppose certain social issues.

The Congressman made his own bed. A blind man could see that voters were not going to suffer ANY RINO up for election this time. If the Congressman didn't see that, he must be spending too much time in Washington and not enough in his home district. Any member of the GOP who didn't see the voters wanted hardline Conservatives, deserved defeat.

I am reading all these opinions. And most are valid. They are based on one's beliefs. Some are faith based beliefs. All of that is ok. We are free here in America to believe and or worship how we please. So why is it that if some one does not believe as an other there is something 'wrong' with that person?? I say to all who have faith in their Christian God to worship quietly hold your faith close and don't let it infringe on some one else's belief. I have a sister who attends church 3-4 times a week. She is involved in some christian charities, clothing drives, food pantries etc. She is a lesbian. I have a good friend whose wife is a right wing evengelical whose brother is gay and lives with his lover. They are both devout catholics. I suggest we all lighten up and spread some love.

The so-called "chritian right",and as far as I can tell they are neither, wants to cherry pick the bible and use it just to justify their own personal opinion. They ignore the parts about shellfish being an abomination, about killing your child if he, or she, curses you and about stoning your wife is she is not a virgin, among others. Instead they concentrate on things like spewing venom about homosexuals which leads to the attitude that it is ok harm them in the name of the warped "god" they are so sure they know about.

I don't really care what religious beliefs the Christian right or any other group has. What I do care is that they not try to force them on everyone else. They have no better claim on what is right than anyone else does. So long as someone's rights do not infringe on someone else, they should not be prohibited.
