How to get white conservative evangelicals to vote Democratic.
These are people who are very influenced by what the preacher says on Sunday. If he (and at the churches they go to, it's always a "he") says God chose George W. Bush for the presidency, then that's the end of discussion for these people. They will support Bush and anything he says and does if the preacher says it was sanctioned by God.

I also know that many of these preachers are frauds who would take a bribe if it was offered to them. If the DNC paid white fundamentalist Christian preachers in swing states to criticize Bush from the pulpit and urge their members to vote accordingly, it just might pay dividends at the polls. If Democrats paid the preachers off to denounce the war in Iraq and Bush Administration policies from the pulpit as contrary to the Will of God, they would cut into that fundamentalist Christian conservative white vote.

2. Now there's a "good" idea.
After all, the ends justify the means.

Sorry, I can't support this one.

3. Why pay to have someone speak truth.
I think truth isn't going to need help.

4. nobody's got that much money
the Bushbots KILL their enemies--and these preachercons know it. They will never leave the circle. A better bet would be to introduce liberal Christians in the same community, and demonstrate the difference between genuine compassion and pulling a con. Americans are good at spotting snakeoil salesmen, supposedly. Let's see some proof.

5. EXCELLENT. This is what Ed Rollins said he did in NJ...
then backed away from the claim as quickly as he could.

6. If it takes bribes to save our world
then let's do it. I'm not that idealistic anymore. Whatever it takes to get rid of the Bushbots. We need a rational US government so we can deal with global warming and the looming endless wars.

7. i think WWJD would be a better approach
bribes I think not.

but if someone could reach such a preacher or congregation with a +ve dem msg and how it fits with God's word, atleast a few willing to open their minds will listen.

-max.

8. Have several of their leaders
get blasted by lightning during one of their harangues might do it.
After all, it would be a sign from God and that sign usually means God is not pleased with you.

10. Hehehe
I hope you're joking.
But I bet a bunch of them would take them up on it!

Sad that so many people are such bleating sheep that they can't recognize blatant hypocracy in their religious leaders.
