> As mentioned above, right wing churches have defied the law for years and will continue to do so. They know the IRS won’t come after them, think of all the phony outrage on the right about the IRS supposedly targeting conservative groups during Obama. I’d imagine at most right wing churches, the vast majority of the congregation already votes a solid Republican ticket and the remainder of the people in attendance probably tune out the sermon if it gets political and pull out their mobile phone.

I have to differ a little; those of us in the more left-wing-leaning churches are pretty much the same just for different candidates and causes. This is one of the few cases where both sides are pretty much equally guilty.
