Evangelicals investigating GOP candidates on gay marriage, abortion [View all]

Tired of being duped by conservative-sounding Republican presidential candidates who secretly harbored support for gay marriage, abortion and other socially liberal issues, evangelical pastors plan to investigate the backgrounds of White House hopefuls and their top aides.

"Personnel is policy," said David Lane, whose American Renewal Project is working with 100,000 pastors to push 80 million evangelicals and 40 million Catholics who typically don't vote to the polls in 2016 to elect a conservative Republican.

"We need to bring these things up on the table," he told Secrets. "Evangelical pastors aren't as much interested in budget issues as they are social issues," he added.

Lane's group, influential in conservative presidential politics and early primary and caucus states, will vet the positions of the candidates and their top aides. He already has dispatched reports about Jeb Bush's aides supporting same-sex marriage.
