[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is but it also isn't. Don't forget the megachurch people and [b]the people who live in the suburbs or exurbs and who are afraid to come into the city[/b].[/quote]

Huh? Why are you equating fear of going into the city with being conservative? That makes no sense.

Also, where are there actual megachurches in MoCo? WaPo did a list of the largest churches in the DC area in 2014 and no MoCo churches made the list. [/quote]

Agree.  That’s ridiculous.  What, so no conservative-leaning fed employees in DC?

And I can’t think of a single megachurch in a 10 mile radius of my neighborhood.  [/quote]

There are a fair number of conservative federal employees, I don't know why, but they exist and my dh works with them in suburban Maryland. And I find it strange that someone thinks that all DOD and Pentagon and military staff are "liberal" because they are feds too.

Montgomery County megachurch that just had a huge child sexual abuse scandal. Was all over the news, not sure how you all missed it. 
So, list of megachurches in MD: http://hirr.hartsem.edu/cgi-bin/mega/db.pl?db=default&uid=default&view_records=1&ID=*&sb=4&State=MD

I hate mega churches, and much more traditional (and liberal) and would imagine many people in the DC area, would prefer to go to a non megachurch.

The are more Democrats and liberals in MoCo than VA but MoCo is not super leftist, if all the people I see driving around with "pray the rosary" and "prolife" stickers are any indication.

There are plenty of people in suburban Maryland representing the whole political spectrum who don't fit most of the stereotypes pps have discussed. Fairfax is becoming more "liberal" by the day.[/quote]
