Conservative Christianity: Political Strategy or Ideology

Christian Conservatism is not and ideology not a concept but an ingenious political strategy built by the GOP in the to late 1970’s. In knowing that majority of the the new elderly or golden years American White citizens were apart of the civil rights resistance in the 1950’s and 60’s the GOP played on the distaste for the rising image of Liberalism in American mainly in part to the Hippie Anti War Veitnam  college educated Americans. GOP Leaders and front runners prayed on the political tactic of placing fear in elderly whites that the landscape of America was being entrenched in Liberal Left wing Hippism and even in some cases of late 1970’s Racism in political campaigns to achieve victory in southern states. Yet Christian Conservative political tactic also worked extremely well in Bull collar mid west and Northern rual areas where Republicans could snatch Electoral votes by eating up counties in key states For Example:

Wisconsin
Missouri
Ohio
Indiana
Pennsylvania
Ohio
Illinois
Tennessee
Texas
North Carolina
Virginia
Florida
Minnesota

All These states at that time period were blue collared states which usually meant that the citizens were more likely to be White and Christian. One More Thing Is that All these states have Double Digit Electoral Points. For a Political Canididate to carry these states would always put a canididate over the edge in a close political race. For If a Republican could win over Moderate Republicans who were more likely to be well establish upper class whites in New York annd California and to carry Southern and Mid-Western States would ensure victory. For Democrats in this time caught complete hell in presidential races, Mainly for there siding with Anti War views and Civil Rights which was also a political strategy but we will discuss that in another post. A great Example to why Conservative Christianity is a great political Strategy look at the Democratic Presidents after Nixion Carter won his first presidental race mainly because he was a farm boy a picture of blue collar hard working Southerner and then There was Clinton he was a southern White Male from Hope Arkansas a state in the heart of Conservative America who played his roots t his advanytage along with his liberak views to gain the presidency twice. W. Bush used Moderate-Christian Conservatism to gain his presidency(with help from Jeb.) He became the face of College educated conservatist by using his evangelical faith to push him a head in rural blue collar states. Florida Is a great example of a Moderate Conservative State much like Georgia.Conservative Christian Political Tactic is a great tactic in politics but it is a dirty one because it thrives of negativity and the exploitation of ones faith in achieving political success. John McCain failed with Consevative Christians because unlike his running mate McCain was more on the moderate end of the Right Wing spectrum. Which inevitably lead to the 3-4 point split in the Republican Vote especially when you factor in the economic and Bush factors the GOP is faced with trying to re-define their political ideologies, strategies and tatics to stay in the race with Democrats.
