I do agree with this. McCain was the slightly lesser of two evils yet would have led us down a similar road as Obama is -with the economic results being the same, except it would have now been blamed on "Republican" economic policies.

At least that's fair.

This has been a very entertaining topic. i see i wrote my first post seriously and some of you have been funny since.
By the way can I have a ho ho too.
I do not see any judges here as I thought someone might tear my first post apart but you all were silent.
I am curious as to why nobody commented on my first post on the first page,
Is it because I am new here????
I will not take offense if you make some kind of wise crack.

This post no longer has anything to do with the inital question. It's become much of the same...Obama bashing and other stuff.

My father-in-law was a good man. He loved the Lord.
BUT
he was a strong union man
and a strong Democrat.

He was a lot like the tv character Archie Bunker (for those of you old enough to remember Archie)

One time he told me, "I'd vote for a N..... If they ran him on the Democratic ticket." Well, he didn't live long enough to see it happen but he would have voted for BHO based on his party even though he would have not liked the idea of an African American as President.

I did not agree with his politics or his prejudices but he was a good Christian man.

Actually, I wonder how a person can vote for some of the candidates,
but I do not question their Christianity.

I might not question their Christianity on the first vote, but after seeing many of these people for what they are (Godless, atheistic, anti-Christian, pro-death zealots), all subsequent votes for them cause me to question the depth of true religion in the voter.

The fact is that Obama had a history before he ran for President. However, many people did not choose to investigate him at all. When he was in the IL legislature, he voted 'Present' on a substantial number of bills. He rejected and opposed vigorously bills that would preserve the life of a child who was born alive in at an abortion clinic. He was implicated in the Tony Rezco scandal that brought down the IL governor and other Chicago politicians.

He has been less than honest about his views on gay marriage. He very quietly and subtlely promotes it via backdoor policies and failure to enforce laws on the books.

He also does not disclose that he is in fellowship with men who are strongly predjudiced and bigotted toward people of other ethnic backgrounds. Rev. Wright was only one of these men, and through him Obama is connected to the also. Rev. Wright endorsed and supported the racist views of the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakahn. Rev. Moss replaced Rev. Wright as pastor of the church and also holds the same views. All of these men have links the the Black Power movement that gave us the likes of Malcom X and the Black Panther Party. Obama walks in hand with them.

These are only the tip of the iceberg. Not included here are his ties to domestic terrorists, more or less inactive now but unrepentant. There are also questions of his views of Jesus Christ, God, and the church.

I would be inclined to question the veracity of a 'Christian' who can seperate their Bible from their politics. We are called to be Christians first, and then every part of our lives are to be affected from there. When we seperate what we are from what we do, we engage ourselves only in self-deceit. The Bible makes no such distinction.

You need only take your own advice..when applying that...There would be no Malcom x or Farikan or black panther is there were not circumstances for their existence ....go back a little and question the motives of the people in power for the 100 years after Slavery and all the issues Blacks had to face from that time on ....Why did there have to be a Martin Luther King???

The point is if you are going to use the bible then you would have to question everybody in the history of Christianity and there are a lot of ???s that they will have to answer... if you feel safe not supporting those then good, cause I don't ...My questions begin right after Constantine.. because that when Revelation 6:9-11 stopped for a while and Revelation 6;14 -17 eventually began...and has not stopped...Now Ii don't know about you but I want no part of Rev. 6:14-17

You know what? Nevermind. Some people will just be who they are. Whatever! I'm glad I'm saved by grace and through faith-- not my vote.

Done.
