I don ' t think they ' ve said , but I ' d expect the sales to last at least through Friday night Pacific time . <| sep |> A lot of my friends who are religious originally were Democrats . But when the Democrats became proabortion , these religious people started voting for Republicans who were prolife just because of that single issue . They didn ' t agree with anything else the Republicans stood for . Besides the pro life issue they believed in hard core Democratic issues . Helping the poor , workers rights , social safety nets etc . But as the years have gone by these religious hear the Republican media state and restate the conservative dogma and eventually they started supporting the Republican platform fully . Now they call themselves Republicans but when they go to church on Sundays they espouse Democratic ideals . Had the Democrats not ever taken a stand on abortion they would still have the religious voters . Not to mention that when the boomers ex hippies took over the party in the late sixties and early 70 s they pulled the party in directions that essentially felt like abandonment to the organized labor unions .
