You're absolutely right. It
was started with the Bush - Rove bunch. But, now how do you separate the use of the term "evangelical" with the term conservative?

It really bothers me to see media references to the "Evangelical vote" as though all Christians are some voting block of proselytizing fanatics out to force some fundamental viewpoint on America.

That's my problem too. I see myself as a conservative and as a Christian, but I don't want to be pigeon holed with the types that I think are taking the Republican party in a direction I just can't go. I can't get "fired up" about constitutional amendments about marriage and the other things "the base" is for.
See, that makes me mad that those people are considered the base!!! What party is left for people like me? Those who are socially moderate, but fiscally conservative?
