2008 Election
Nobody’s a Winner with These Candidates
Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John McCain and Sarah Palin. Is this a list of the worst candidates in the history of the United States? And I don’t mean that each one is worse than everyone else before them, I mean that collectively, there is not a good choice to cast your vote for [...]
Clergy Mock Tax Laws, Preach Politics
Despite laws that are clear as day prohibiting clergy from endorsing political candidates while on the clock, 33 pastors decided to do just that this week.
From the Washington Post:
Johnson and 32 other pastors across the country set out Sunday to break the rules, hoping to generate a legal battle that will prompt federal courts to [...]
Third-Party President Runs Through Congress First
As the presidential debates grow closer, the calls grow louder to include Bob Barr and Ralph Nader in the process. While the rules state that a candidate must be polling at an average of at least 15% in five national polls, there are many reasons as to why this is a flawed gauge for [...]
Sarah Palin on Religion
Continuing where I left off examining the religion of major party candidates for president, there are now two Vice-Presidential candidates whose religion needs to be examined. As with the presidential candidates, I am not looking to analyze what people think about these candidate’s religious beliefs, only analyze what the candidates themselves have actually said.
The [...]
Obama - Osama Sign is Pathetic
Down in Jonesville, South Carolina, there lies a church that is trying to get people to think. So the sign in front of the Jonesville Church of God now reads: “Obama, Osama, hmm, are they brothers?”
Pastor Roger Byrd is the genius behind this, and he backs up his sign with intelligent quotes, such as, [...]
Religion on the Campaign Trail: How Much is Too Much?
I know I’m not alone in noticing that every other day there is a new story on one of the three remaining presidential candidates and their faith. In the past few elections, this has been reserved more for the Republican candidates, but this year it’s completely taken over the Democratic candidates as well.
I say [...]
McCain Shys Away From Religion Talk
In an article on Politico.com, Jonathon Martin writes that Sen. John McCain has shied away from discussing his religion during recent stops on his campaign, and that may hurt him come election day. While not accusing McCain of doing anything wrong, in fact Mr. Martin seems to compliment McCain on his old-school-ness of keeping [...]
Is Obama’s Religion Still an Issue?
Apparently, Barack Obama’s religion is still in question. At least by anyone who is running against him. Hillary Clinton’s people allegedly are the ones who sent out pictures last week of Obama in traditional Somali garb, trying to make him appear Muslim to the voters (Bill Maher falsely blamed Republicans).
Today, Obama had to [...]
McCain Plays the Religion Card at CPAC
John McCain gave his much anticipated speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference today, and it took him only three paragraphs of speech to play to the CPAC’s conservative Christians. In a speech that was truly meant to win over conservatives, and really shouldn’t be taken as much more, McCain did a fairly good [...]
Conservatives vs. Republicans: It’s On
The more I read or hear about Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and the rest of the conservative media types go on and on about how John McCain is not conservative enough, I began to wonder if they truly understand that “Conservative” is not a political party.
Conservatism is a political philosophy. Republican is [...]
