Why I Voted For John McCain
I’ll admit, I fell into the category of undecided for far too long in this election. In most years, I would agree with the idea that if you didn’t know who you were voting for a month before the election, then you likely weren’t informed enough to be casting a quality vote.
This election changed [...]
We’ve Seen Our Last Great President
We may all disagree on who the last great President of the United States was, but I can say now that whoever it was, was the last great president we’ll ever have.
The presidential process has made it nearly impossible for the right person to win the presidency, and even harder for them to have an [...]
Please Make This Election Go Away
I can’t take it anymore. Please make this election stop. Make it go away.
This campaign has been going for two years (really since Obama ran for Congress). I can’t take the commercials anymore. I can’t take the late night talk shows anymore. I can’t watch The Daily Show or Colbert [...]
Is Sarah Palin Running for President?
Is it me, or has this campaign turned into Obama vs. Palin? I can’t recall hearing the phrase “Biden Campaign” yet, but have lost count of all of the times I’ve heard someone mentioning Sarah Palin’s campaign.
Look, I don’t like the idea of Vice-President Palin either. But I also don’t like the idea [...]
What If Obama Loses?
What if we wake up on Wednesday and read “McCain Wins” on the top of our newspapers?
I say this not out of concern for a John McCain presidency, since I think that both candidates are going to be failures as president, but out of concern for the reaction that we’ll see in this country.
First off, [...]
The Religion Guide to the Presidential Election
To many people, religion is a key ingredient in what makes a good president or government. In the United States, many mistakenly feel that this is a Christian nation, and should be governed as such. Since that’s not the case, and the Constitution is clear about a separation between church and state, each [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
