It sounds to me like those two were not part of the "Christian Right". But part of the "Christian Left".
That would include the Catholic Church, the Unions, etc.
Believe me...in the NorthEastern United States there are plenty of hardcore Catholics who are vehemently anti-abortion.
My belief is that they simply stay home at election time because of their beliefs.
Say for instance...a guy is in the AFL-CIO. He is told to vote Democrat. End of story. His dad voted that way, And his grandfather voted that way.
But his wife? She probably just won't vote at all. She can't vote Democrat because of her stupid religious beliefs (probably a Catholic) and she can't vote Republican because it would be against her own benefit because her husband is in the union.
Anyway, that's my theory about the "Christian Left". I'm guessing that those two people in Ohio may have been part of that group.
Oh, check it out...they have their own FaceBook page! lol
