The Numbers

This man should not be on the ballot let alone meeting with the evangelical. He has deceived the American public, the Illinois bar, the Supreme Court and so forth. On the forms they ask have you ever gone by a former name and Barack Obama stated NO. This is just not true.

Big question is why isn't the press, the media, those that vetted Mr. Obama letting this charade continue. What has happened to "truth and justice"?

This analysis left out the fact that McSame is willing to chose a pro-choice VP, and the second point is there is a only one difference between McSame and WBush, he is not liked by evangelicals as WBush is. This analysis is biased again because one sided.

Senator McCain is going to have to explain to the large numbers of well-organized Evangelical voters why he would consider a pro-abortion running mate. If he selects a pro-life running mate he may recapture some (but certainly not all) of the Evangelical votes and will lose many female voters. Mr. McCain has honed a double edged sword on the abortion issue that may turn out to be a fatal political blunder - he should have kept his mouth shut on what his potential running mates views on abortion could be. Anyone else feel this way too?

Ron Paul should get all the evangelical's votes. After all he delivers babies instead of advocating their demise. He is a strong believer in Christianity's Golden Rule as it applies to all things including foreign policy. He is an ardent supporter of the Just War Theory of Christianity. He has not sold his soul to special interests to fill his own coffers. He hasn't cheated on his wife, and he is a true Christian family man. The evangelicals were idiots for not supporting him in greater numbers. This also is true for the country in general.

Spoozle: It isn't all in a name, although I must admit the name Ron Paul is a bit simplistic. He is the one candidate that doesn't take money from special interests which means he can legislate on behalf of the American citizens and not a select few. He returns a portion of his salary every year to the treasury claiming that it is too much. He has turned down the congressional pension plan, saying that it shouldn't be a burden on taxpayers. He is a doctor, not a lawyer, and has delivered over 4000 babies. He is the premier protector of civil liberties in the congress. He is also the loan voter on many bills that go against the constitution. He has never voted against an unbalanced budget. He is against the drug war which makes sense considering that most drug use is now concentrated around prescription drug abuse. He is for more local control on education, abortion, etc. I have been following him for a couple of years now, and I have been most impressed. His voting record is impeccable, and no other politician can even come close. He even predicted the Russian invasion of Georgie on Bill Moyers 6 years ago. Check him out and spread the work. Most Americans are very ignorant and partisan.

I don't get it. Obama is a socialist who believes in homosexual marriage and abortion. Why would an evangelical vote for him? It doesn't make sense to even ask the question.

Sue: An evangelical would vote for him because McCain votes in sending our children to war, degrading women and adultery. The lesser of the evils I suppose.

The evangelical right wing, and all of the other hypocritical christians do not speak for me nor God. I believe everyone has a choice even God gives people a choice. Obama can't win for loosing. Your scare tactics will not work, He will be President of the United States. Not because of his race, but because America is sick & tired of the republicans and there Voodoo economics.

RE: Mike

So what does this prove? His stepfather used his surname to enroll him in kindergarten? And that he preferred "barry" to "barack?" Who wouldn't?

Let's all take a deep breath and try to focus on substantial issues, mmkay?

WE DON’T NEED OVERPAID CELEBRITIES TO TELL US HOW TO VOTE --- ESPECIALLY THOSE FEW ELITIST SNOBS LIVING IN EUROPE.

Obama’s historical speech is now defined by ‘how you throw your 'TYPICAL WHITE' grandmother under the bus’. Apparently he will say anything to win and, it was sad to watch him trying to use race to get back in this race.

I’m disappointed to see him as just another 'TYPICAL' politician. He used very poor judgment with ties to too many shady characters. He lied to all American people when the truth would have been better. Did he stay in this church to get the votes of the 8,000 members? He is who he is, but it is what it is!

Hillary was the better candidate. She helped Obama get his Senate seat --- then he stabbed her in the back.

McCAIN in November!

Oboma is the man for president. People need to relize the true danger is McCain. I thin Oboma race has alot to do with people not wanting him for president. And to keep a black man out of the white house they would rather vote for McCain but you will only be hurting your self in the long run.

Akron - How would keeping a socialist out of the white house hurt anyone? Socialism destroys countries.

Anita - You don't need to listen to the evangelical right wing, just read your bible. God does give us free will - and how we use that free will determines where we will spend eternity. “But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Revelation 21:8

Well its 44 to 44% now, (Gallop Poll) so why do you think the GOP is fearing we will lose? hell we are gaining everyday and Obama has stalled..and you keep saying the convention is going to open Obama up? hell with that circus you best be hoping he does not lose 10%

And now Obama pandering to Christans, but oh thats right Obama is a Christian...yeah right..and so is Jeriamah Wright

Believing or not believing alot of bronze age myths does'nt change who I'd vote for. I want someone who is up to the job, regardless. Jesus speaks very well for himself. He doesn't need a politician to reafirm anything.

Any one professing to be a CHRISTIAN and beleiving in the word of God cannot beleive that taking a life under the guise of a womans right to choose. You can't have it both ways.

Jar, you say that anyone taking a life cannot be a Christian' eh, what about an unjust war, where we are sending our young men and women to be killed? Would Christ go for that, a war based on a lie. The one question I ask of you jar, would you be willing to adopat these unwanted babies or help the woman who has been raped or worse? Who is the real killer here?

If McCain seeks a pro abortion VP, and Obama seeks an anti abortion VP, doesn't that cancel out each othe and make them both the same?

And, if there is separation of church and state, and the white evangelicals identify with the right side of politics, doesn't that mean they shouldn't vote on the one hand, or if they do choose to vote, should not have their churches be tax exempt?
