That's where we're missing the subtlety here. A pastor is likely to, for instance, go on and on about how evil abortion is, and then insist people go vote. They don't have to tell them WHO to vote for, if they can make it about specific issues to guide people to the proper candidates. A lot of them make it a point about how it is their "Christian duty" to go vote. Ugh, I just realized how insidious this is.
Actually, there is a whole sect of Christianity that is about birthing more children so that they have more political pull in the future.
