What a lot of people don't realize about CA is we arn't all raging liberals. CA is like America itself. It has an affluent (although unequal), professional, globalized liberal coast and then a big heartland full of conservative people who still think they're living in the 1950s.

What a vast over simplification.
Evangelicals dont' want a president who thinks their religious views are stupid. Thy are like any other voting block they want to think they will be listened to. They don't like Mitt because he is a flip flopper. They'd rather have a non religious somewhat social conservative who has been consistent in his support of that agenda than someone who is back and forth on stuff, or professes christian type beliefs but then compromises them away in legislation.
I probably have more experience with fundies than anyone else here. They aren't generally that informed, but they certainly don't like hypocrites. They like John Wayne types because that's how they view the world. They are the righteous go down with the ship types while most others are let's just try to get along types.

As someone who I bet has more experience with fundies than you claim, in undoubtedly more states and towns than you have ever lived: your statement shows me you aren't taking this seriously.
The majority of fundies ABSOLUTELY like hypocrites. And are hypocrites.
If you really know fundies, you know this springs primarily from their typical "I am saved by words not deeds" personal credos. This isn't even slamming them. It is simply seeing it for what it is.

This is an excellent example of a false dichotomy fallacy.

You are clearly biased against them. I'm not sure if they touched you wrong or what. but they are just like any other group they have good people and bad. They have consistent thinkers and inconsistent thinkers. Your experience is clearly colored. I assume it's because you are a moron and in irrational thinker, but you can believe what you wish.
I think it's hilarious that you make judgments about the vast majority of evangelicals based on your experience with mega churches. Which don't even represent a fifth of all evangelicals. This doesn't surprise me though because you are arrogant enough to believe whatever you think about something is absolutely right and stupid enough not to understand the math.

It certainly isn't good thinking no matter how you look at it. But it is pretty consistent from a certain perspective.
