...the fib was this big...
If
this report is true, then somebody been makin' up a ho-bunch-o-stories.
David Brody of CBN
is reporting that Obama's camp is circulating a document claiming they have taken the lion's share of the "faith" vote. But they're math doesn't add up:
New Hampshire
37 % of those who attend church weekly voted for Obama (32% HRC)
South Carolina
64% of those who attend church more than weekly voted for Obama (23% HRC)
Alabama
61% of those who attend church more than weekly voted for Obama (36% HRC)
Georgia:
69% of those who attend church more than weekly voted for Obama (29% HRC)
71% of those who attend church monthly voted for Obama (29% HRC)
Missouri
59% of those who attend church weekly voted for Obama (40% HRC)
New Jersey
56% of those who attend church more than weekly voted for Obama (34% HRC)
Credibility problems include specifics like:
Is the Obama camp claiming these as absolute numbers - that honestly 71% of those who attend church monthly in the Bible belt state of Georgia voted him? Meaning the remaining 29% was split between all those "evangelicals" who voted Republican, and his opponent Mrs. Clinton?
For every category that claims even a majority of church goers in a given state - does that mean that fewer church goers voted Republican in their primary combined than voted for him as a single candidate?
NO!
What these numbers mean is that Obama's camp is lying. Lying BIG TIME! Given that church going evangelicals are the most reliable voting block for the GOP, Obama's camp isn't even the least bit sophisticated in how they try to tell such stories.
But whoppers they are circulating nonetheless... Big fat huge whoppers...
