Evangelicals Push for More

This Los Angeles Times article says evangelical leaders are vowing to hold Republican officials accountable for implementing their agenda. "Some evangelical leaders have warned in interviews that the Republican Party would pay a price in future elections if its leaders did not take up the issues that brought evangelicals to the polls."

Robert Knight, who heads an affiliate for Concerned Women for America, a Christian convervative advocacy group, said: "Business as usual isn't going to cut it, where the GOP rides to victory by espousing traditional family values and then turns around and rewards the liberals in its ranks....

"If the GOP wants to expand and govern effectively, it can't play both sides of the fence anymore. It needs a coherent message, which came through loud and clear in the election."

Is it just me, or is it interesting that a man would be leading a Concerned Women for America group?
