CNN

CNN why are you not posting the story about the 14 members of Congress who are not supporting John McCain? You can read all about it at TheHill.com

It's not fair to post a story about a DEM who will not endores Sen. Obama but leave out the 14 who won't endorse and/or support John McCain.

Be fair, please.

MUST BE WOOING ALL THE SO CALLED CHRISTIANS FROM THE CHICAGO TRINITY CHURCH.

It is time to move on. Life is too short to worry about all these groups.
We have a nation of great diversity to run here–lets get it done.

I shudder to think what would have happened if Hackabee had been allowed anywhere near the White House.

The Evangelical way of thinking would have been shoved down everyone's throats.

Be afraid. Be very afraid

The choice for evangelicals should be pretty cut and dried. We have two main candidates to choose from.

A candidate who attends a church.

A candidate who does not attend a church.

The choice for evangelicals should be pretty cut and dried. We have two main candidates to choose from.

A candidate whose main message is one of demonizing the enemy.

A candidate whose main message is one of reaching out to the enemy.

The choice for evangelicals should be pretty cut and dried. We have two main candidates to choose from.

A candidate whose main message is one of profit.

A candidate whose main message is one of sharing.

In a nation that we murder, rape, and steal several thousand times a second, it is astonishing that so many talk about religion!

Talking about religion in the political context is unconstitutional. The forefathers compromised on several issues when developing the constitution, but they were unanimous on separation of Church and State. Let's honor them and keep religion out of politics.

Lisa wrote : "Experience vs Change you do the math!!!!"

She is wrong, whether you are Repub or Dem.

1992 George HW Bush (experience) vs Bill Clinton (change). Remember who won?

Stones, Stones, Stones! I see a lot of houses cracking.

Oh! My God!

I'm one of them. I am a devote Evangelical Christian, who's penecostal. However, I was really disappointed when Huckabee lost, but with liars like Hillary and McCain, I'll take Obama anyday.

I voted for GW Bush in 2004, because I just didn't trust John Kerry, and he was very lethargic to boot. However, I can't vote McCain.

The problem is that Republicans have hijacked the Evangelical vote with abortion and gay marriage, both which I'm against, however they are letting soldiers die in this war, people go hungry, and letting the rich get richer. I am an independent, and glad.

By the way, I'm a 31 year old black female. Getting tired of the same old politics. McCain is more of the same.

Before they say it's the news media, the news media is run by special interest, and lobbists. They are about greed. The last thing they want is Obama in office. So they say some good things, but they scrutinize every word, because they are gonna make it hard. Most of those lobbists are Republican, not liberal. The head of the FCC is a republican. Fair and balanced is not true, it's all about making money.

We continue to see people giving up any shred of morality they may have had. To find a reason to endorse McSame. This man left his wife (Carol) to be with a woman who has money and influence, for his own political gain. Sound Like a male goldigger to me. And the first lady would be this person with plenty of her own problems that will have to be a distraction to McSame. Such as In 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to opioid painkillers such as Percocet and Vicodin, she was also known as during the Keating Five scandal,"as a bookkeeper who had difficulty finding receipts". what about in 1992, Tom Gosinski, the director of government and international affairs for AVMT, discovered her drug theft. Just to name a couple of things should she have gone to jail?

But there are those who will say forgive and forget,would you be forgiven at your job or in your community? why should we it's a part of McSame and he wants to be apart of every person in the country. So I care, But i'm not forcing myself to vote for him either. Does morality mean anything anymore?

HOW DARE SUCH A PERSON AS OBAMA EVEN APPROACH A RELIGIOUS MAN. AFTER HIS TWENTY YEARS WITH REV. WRIGHT HE HAD NO RELIGION ONLY HATE. HE NOW HAS HIS OWN WEB SITE AND I READ SOME OF HIS PEOPLES BLOGS, "OH BOY! NOW WE HAVE THE TRUTH TO STOP THESE RUMORS," RUMORS??? HIS WEB SITE CAN'T STOP NOTHING, WORDS COMING FROM HIS MOUTH CAN'T STOP NOTHING. WHAT HE SPEAKS IS MEMORIZED PREPARED SPEECHES THAT CLINTON'S EX STAFF WROTE FOR HIM. DOES THIS MAKE HIM TRUTHFUL. HECK NO!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? SO MANY TRUTHS YOU HAVE SEEN WITH YOUR OWN EYES THAT CAME FROM THE MOUTHS OF THESE PEOPLE YOU HAVE SEEN AND YOU STILL DO NOT BELIEVE? OF COURSE AAs WILL ONLY BELIEVE IN COLOR, RACIST THE LOT OF THEM. BUT I EXPECT MORE FROM YOU BROWN, RED, YELLOW AND WHITE PEOPLE. I WOULD NOT THINK YOU COULD BE SO EASILY FOOLED BY THESE LIES OF OBAMAS. HE HAS BEEN CHALLENGED TO TAKE LIE DETECTOR TESTS, HE REFUSED. IF YOU PEOPLE THAT KNOW HOW TO USE RESEARCH TOOLS THEN YOU NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCHING BEFORE YOU VOTE FOR THIS EVIL MAN AND HIS JUST AS EVIL WIFE MICHELLE. HE'S GOING TO FIGHT BACK HE SAYS. WELL DO SOMETHING TO DISCOUNT THESE RUMORS THAT YOU CALL THEM. WHEN I LISTEN TO YOUR OWN ADMITTING ABOUT LISTENING TO REV. WRIGHT AND HEARING THE WORDS COME OUT OF MICHELLE'S MOUTH, WHAT RUMORS IS THAT? BESIDES, THESE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE YOU TALKED TO, WHERE THEY CHURCH OF CHRIST. I WONDER WHY IF NOT YOU WOULD BE TALKING TO THEM. BECAUSE YOUR CHURCH TEACHES THERE IS ONLY ONE CHURCH AND ALL THE OTHERS ARE DOOMED TO HADES. IS THIS NOT RIGHT? A QUESTION YOU NEED TO ANSWER.

What a sad day it will be for America when we let religion decide who should lead our nation.

---------------------------------

Ben, religion does run our country...have you not looked on the dollar bill or read the US Constitution.

This is the problem with America, the liberals are trying to do away with people beliefs.

Obama= false hope, why would anyone vote for him? Just name one thing that he has done since he was in office.

BTW- it's a solider job to fight wars, Congress voted to go to War,President Bush doesn't have this power, this mean the democrats did too. How short the Americans memories are, remember 9-11. If these Soldiers didn't want to fight a war then they should of never join the Military, they were not drafted. What? did they just want a free ride.

Ex- Air Force and Proud of it.

McCain "08

Commentors... please go to Obama's website to learn more about his candidacy. Stop the rumors and ignorant comments. People reading these posts can only see how narrow-minded this country is.

More war, eroding economy, eroding womens' rights, eroding environment, eroding civil liberties, no healthcare...then McCain is your man. If you can honestly say you are better off now under the Bush admin. then Congrats! But the majority of Americans are not!

Learn the facts about both candidates and where they stand on issues!

The choice for evangelicals should be pretty cut and dried. We have two main candidates to choose from.

A candidate whose main message is one of war.

A candidate whose main message is one of peace.

What is this about his birth certificate anyway? Why would he not release it? It is not like he had any control over what is on It.

Brian,
Get a life. Rush, Bush and McCain arent on this site. They are on Fox.

True Evangelicals could NEVER vote for Obama, because he not only supports abortion, but also partial birth abortion (which means you could still kill a child even after it's 6 months in the womb and a viable life form. A child could be born premmie at 6 months and Obama would say it's ok to crush it's skull). Yet CNN probably won't publish this because they are so obviously biased towards Obama.

Hey Raymond Duke, you can't think so you're letting the right wing media think for you. It's idiots like you who let others think for you and vote based on lies and innuendo, who gave us George Bush.
You call others unpatriotic, but look at what George Bush has done. McSame will be extending those policies.

Stop being a moron, think and try to find out the facts. Don't give us another George bush by using old right wing tactics.
Vote Obama !!

AGNOSTIC DEMOCRAT:- I CAN'T WAIT TO THANK YOU FOR TELLIG IT AS IT IS TO LISA,PLEASE CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOUR?

PLEASE USE A LONGER AND HARSHER WORDS FOR THAT DUMB CALLED LIESA,STUPID HATE MONGER LIKE HER. THANKS A.D.

Lets Go Dems!!!!!!!

Obama is selling out the soul of the Democratic Party for a few evangelical votes. We cannot let evangelicals decide who will lead our nation. Who knows what back room deals Obama is cutting with the religious leaders. Democrats need to tell Obama to stop it.

MCCAIN IS NOW OBSESSED WITH THE OBAMAS AND LOSING FOCUS ON ISSUES.

These reactions among evangelicals, who I consider to be the wisest voting demographic, is a reflection of the "new american voter" wave that is sweeping across America.

This tidal wave of the voters evolving from "sheep" into "wolves", no longer doing what they are told but thinking and voting for themselves, has been instigated by Bush. Bush has created a generation of voters who now cast serious doubts on what politicians say and promise.

The internet allows them to do some fact checking of their own. The media is faster in bringing stories, and doing their own research to provide more indepth coverage.

BigFoot Commentary

We eveangelicals will vote for Obama, or we will not vote at all.

Lisa are you still dreaming???? Hillary a chance??? Please wake up and get a life.

MD – His former church is the Trinity United Church of Christ. If you are going to tell people to look up the church, at least get the name of the church right. Furthermore, there is nothing non Christian that can be found on their website, perhaps you are trying to spread unfactual rumors? The only thing anyone could find fault with on the website is that it mentions several times that it is proud of its Black heritage and African American roots. But I find nothing wrong with that, just as I wouldn't if I found myself in a Polish American church that was proud of its congregation and roots... I'm a non white, non black person who has visited the church several times and was made to feel very welcome each time. So before you spread lies about a church you know nothing about, maybe you could visit and who knows, make a friend in Jesus while you're there?

Again, Senator Obama is the one who unifies. No one should be afraid to bring everyone to the table. Great job, Senator Obama. I trust you to lead this country in the right direction.

Sen. Obama is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Trust me.

I dont even know how these repubelican fear mongers succeed.I mean, comon – look at the facts.We have almost all the latest advanced weapon systems.Our army is super strong.We have bases in more than 100 countries.Our naval fleets are almost always prepared for possible threats.

We cant even compare to the terrorist attacks menace that other countries face.

I ASK YOU, WHAT SHOULD WE FEAR FROM? If at all anyone should be afraid, it must be our enemies.

What could infact be more dangerous is electing a president who doesnt know/remember his view on things.We(or the world) cannot afford another "war" chanter.Say NO to McOld.

Ask these War/Fear mongers to shove it up their you know what !
Think before you vote !

religious folks should hate war and killing.instead they have staunchly supported it for the last two elections.i would gladly forgive them ,if they would support peace and unity ,instead of hate and war.i think GOD is proud of the obama movement,and the positive feelings it's brought to so many around the world.rev. wright,flegler,hagee,lieberman,ect., are men who preach hate ,instead of hope ,for the future.i would see nothing wrong with president obama NOT attending a church ,throughout his presidency,and rely on what's in his own heart.i lost faith in established religion years ago,and ,now feel closer to GOD than ever.

I don't see much of Jesus' character in Obama at all. Jesus would never support millions of innocent babies being killed, many by the toturous act of partial-birth abortion. Jesus is pure in everything he says and does, very much unlike the smooth-talking, deceptive monster Obama. Jesus never robs the rich to give to the poor; he changes people's hearts so they will be motivated to give themselves.

Obama haters are the true kool-aid drinkers.

I believe that a majority of the American people will give both candidates a fair hearing. There is no doubt that Obama can defeat McCain on the merits but Obama isn't really running against John McCain, who never tops the mid-40's in any national poll and inspires virtually no enthusiasm in his own party. The real race in 2008 is between the REAL Obama vs. the FICTIONAL turban-wearing, koran-reading, drug-dealing, America-hating, pornography-pushing, terrorist-loving, white folks-despising Obama.

Given enough time and exposure to the American people, that is a race that the real Obama can win. The only suspense of the 2008 campaign is, will he.

What a sad day it will be for America when we let religion decide who should lead our nation.

Brian in Knoxville...you are truly terrified at the prospect of Barack Obama being president, aren't you. I've never seen anyone so obsessed! Barack Obama won the primary, fair and square. In fact, he was gracious enough to give delegates to Clinton which she should not have had (Florida and Michigan). Obama won the popular vote, won the most number of states, won the most delegates, and the most superdelegates. WHY CAN PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND THAT?!

There are not 18 million Clinton supporters who are stupid enough to vote for John McCain. There MIGHT be 1 million, but you should think before you call out all or most of Clinton's supporters as being die-hard America-hating Neoconservatives, because most of them are not. You belong to a select group of people who wants to vote against the best interests of yourselves and your nation. Most Clinton supporters do NOT hate themselves and their country the way a select few of you do.

Obama and his supporters make my gag refelx kick in. I'm now supposed to rally around this arrogant empty suit simply because he's a democrat? I have not voted for a republican for any office for 30 years, but I have believed in all of the candidates that I have supported over the years. I believed that they shared my values and goals for our nation. I don't believe Obama has the best interests of anyone but himself at heart. He disgusts me as do his supporters. I will support McCain in the fall. It is no longer about democrat v. republican. It's all about defeating Obama.

don't believe this. I heard Obama define "sin" as "not being true to myself" – which means he basically considers himself to be God. I don't think anyone who has real religious beliefs (Muslims included) could support someone who elevates himself to a diety.

McCain is a one man one woman kind of person and that is why with the help of our knew Hillary supporters he will be in.
McCain08

These are my nominations for the funniest posts of the day. Can you believe someone would actually publicly post this drivel?

Hey McCain08 – if the gelding is such a one man one woman kind of person, how to you explain the manner in which he dumped his first wife – because he wanted to be 25 not 40. Because he wanted to chase skirts. Don't let pesky facts get in your way.

Rob June 12th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Clinto backers remember what happened to our Florida;Michigan delegates-vote for McCain in protest

_____________________

Hey Rob... How informed are you? The FL Republicans only get a half vote, too. Not to mention it was the Republican Governer that wanted to change the primary date in the first place. It was the Republicans that stated this whole freaking mess. Maybe to get Bozo's like you mad at the Democratic Party.

Way to play right into their hand... IF you supported Hillary, you do her a GRAVE injustice to back someone who is totally different than her.

ANd it makes you an idiot.

To Jen, 11:16 -

Thank you for providing Sen. McCain's quote on appointing justices and explaining that he is a moderate. But we both know Sen. Obama supporters will either not read it or read it and ignore it.

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

Boy, the hysterical anti-relionists need to be less hypocritical. We evangelicals are AMERICANS with as much a concern about politics as any citizen. Our concerns are of the moral tone that the leader of our country sets. Mr. Obama has shown himself to be anti-family by his unbiblical stances against life and actually anti-American by his disgust of the Pledge of Alegience and our nation's anthem.

Only an EINO (evangelical in name only) would vote for this man that opposes the Christian virtues of honesty, integrety and morality.

It is dangerous for a democracy when a presidential candidate can lie with impunity, change positions on a whim, and physically and verbally threaten others and virtually none of it is reported by a besotted media eagerly awaiting the next moment when he might slap their backs in friendship.

The mainstream press may not do their job, but we can surely do ours. It is crucial that we alert the public to the REAL McCain, and it is crucial we act now, before it's too late.

Clinto backers remember what happened to our Florida;Michigan delegates-vote for McCain in protest

I've been on Trinity United Church of Christ's website a number of times and have never found anything remotely "anti-white" or un-Christian about it. Yes, it is deliberately and distinctly African-American, but that's in no way demeaning to whites like myself. I encourage those interested to read Lutheran pastor and theologian Martin Marty's recent open letter about Trinity.

As a committed Christian, it is easy to see that Barak Obama's philosophy is more like Jesus Christ's philosophy than any Republican. Read your Bible, folks-you won't find the Republican way of greed and hate and division touted in there.

LISA LISA LISA! Hillary has lost.
She has issued a concession speech.
She is not the Democratic nominee.
Obama is beating McCain in all major polls.
The Democratic party is uniting around Barrack Obama.
Barrack Obama can and will win.
It's people like you specifically that create a divide int he Democratic party.

STOP THE HATE CHILD!

OBAMA '08 DEMOCRATS '08 AND FOREVER

Too bad Barack Obama doesn't "woo" the dissatisfied Democrats – the 18 million Hillary Clinton Democrats he seems to be shutting out of this election. POLITICS AS USUAL. For a minute, he gave me "hope." I thought he would unite the Party, but he has divided us even further, excluding 18 million voters in this country.

Hillary Clinton would have united us if she were the nominee.

John McSame's record on reproductive rights couldn't be more appalling. There, we said it! We said it because the corporate media won't confront McCain on the real issues in this election. They won't tell you, for instance, that McCain has consistently received a big fat zero from NARAL on its pro-choice scorecard. Nor will they tell you that McCain has flip-flopped on Roe v. Wade and now supports overturning this all-too-crucial case.

The thing about considering evangelical voter is the fact that these guys want to put the government in our personal lives.
These people are the reason why the media pays so much attention to the personal lives of our public servants.
If there is truly a separation of church and state, their evangelical status should not matter

As a Christian, I find it impossible to vote for Republicans anymore. Other than being anti-abortion and anti gay marriage, the Republican Party is as far from Christ's message as it can possibly be. Sadly, many Christians do not realize this, and are blinded by these two issues.

Jose' June 12th, 2008 11:39 am ET

Obama wants to start a theocracy in America and continue to divide America.

ANYBODY but Obama '08!!

No I believe that's the Republican party and John McBush.

They want to divide this country and already have.

Obama wants to unite it and make it better.

So please, just stop the hate.

Drink the Kool-aid Obama supporters.....

David O,

Go to the Trinity Church of Christ website and read. Obama's church is about as close to christianity as Stalin.

Yep, from reading some of these blogs, you can tell the kids are home from school.

Obama '08

Evangelicals should feel betrayed by the Republican party, which has used their votes to push a most un-christian agenda.

Christianity cannot bind you to one political party or another. It's all about your relationship to God, and your relationship with your fellow man. Jesus said the second highest commandment is to love our neighbors as we love ourself. In this, the Republican party, which sought out and used your vote for their own ambitions, failed you and all of us.

Danny,
Regardless of where the man was brought up, his religious proclivities are irrelevant to his ability to lead this nation. Obama came to the Christian church later in life. He wasn't a religious person. He embraced Christianity by choice. Which in fact, is its own virtue. He wasn't brought up in church, instead came to Christ on his own. His blessings will be what they will be.

Faith has no place in politics anyway. At least, faith should not be used a s a bludgeon.

Obama wants to start a theocracy in America and continue to divide America.

ANYBODY but Obama '08!!

It seems like every election year my denomination is accused of secretly supporting the Democratic candidate, when all I hear from them is preaching of the Gospel. Coincidence? I'm for keeping church and state separate, but I do have an opinion about which party has been closer to the teachings of Jesus lately.

Danny June 12th, 2008 11:29 am ET

I am sorry Obama does not deserve single vote from evangelicals. Nobody knows what he is. He has a big mouth and he says he is Christian. I doubt it. He was brought up in Indonesia which is predominantly muslim nation. CNN should publish this.

You know if some people would try and do a little research, or thinking for that matter, before they posted.............

Cynthia – your statement on being judgemental is extremely judgemental!

I am sorry Obama does not deserve single vote from evangelicals. Nobody knows what he is. He has a big mouth and he says he is Christian. I doubt it. He was brought up in Indonesia which is predominantly muslim nation. CNN should publish this.

Just say No to Religion and Politics. Not everyone has a God or believes the same values.

It will not be long before President Obama can address the people of the United States, and indeed the entire world with his ideas of how to reach out to friends and enemies.

Isn't this the Christian message? With whom did Jesus meet? Do evangelicals pay attention in church anymore?

All that 'love your enemies' stuff must be for non-Christians only.

I look forward to January 2009.... he should start writing his acceptance speech today.

This is for the GOP on their smear campaing on obama:
Common sense: Do you think anyone can just get out there and say I want to be president without simple background checks? Employers do a background check on people and I am SURE the secret service and FBI must have cleared Obama before hanging out with him!!!!!

This make me sick as it makes voters even look dumber! Simple facts... AND to think that this is an issue?

No chance! Obama is so liberal and Michelle so filled with hate, and their religious affiliations so extreme that I cannot imagine serious people of faith going for this candidate.

Just a couple of comments.
Raymond Duke, just a fact-check that any 12-year-old could do on the internet: 1. His middle name is Hussein. So what? What's yours, Xenophobe? 2. His church former church was not radical anti-white. A large portion of the congregation is caucasian. 3. What do you define as "anti-American" statements? Anything that runs counter to the policies of the worst President in American history? If so, then I'm with him. 4 . He isn't friends with Ayers. He served on a Board of Directors with him – they barely know each other. 5. He has released his birth certificate – in fact it's on his web site in PDF format. 6. Fact – If you're a bigoted redneck with an IQ under 70, you should learn how to run a spell-check on a message before posting it on this board.

Lisa:

Keep your trap shut , your mind open and go read the Bible to see if there is a remote possibility you can educate your decrepit and withered brain with a mere shred of knowledge and enlightenment.
Very unrealistic to expect progress from such ignorance but there always hope for lost causes. Have a wonderful life in your misery and suffering.

To Lisa, from a different blog, she says 30 bucks is a lot to some people, yeah that's smart Lisa, lets put hard working construction workers who are trying to make ends meat for their family out of a job this summer so you can save 30 dollars, way to go!

Boo Hoo. The republican party is no longer controlled by the evangelicals. I could just cry.
Maybe now we can get back to the principles of our Founding Fathers.

Drop out Obama you can't win!!!! Give Hillary a shot so the Democrates can unite once again.

YOUR’ER ARE INVITED TO ENJOY THE OBAMA RIDE.....

THE PEOPLE THAT LIE THE MOST WILL CALL OBAMA A LIER.

Brian from Knoxville

No. You want to know what's a joke. Your puma pac website. That's a joke.

I for one am an evangelical Christian who plans to vote for Obama, because I believe he'll actually be the BEST representative for us all as Americans. I'm afraid that some of the rather hair-trigger comments above do damage to the Christian faith by adopting an anti-intellectual approach to Obama and what he represents. The Anti-Christ because of the numerological signficance of his Chicago zipcode?! Please! Check out Mark Noll's excellent book, _The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind_, particularly his chapter entitled, "The Intellectual Disaster of Fundamentalism." A scathing indictment from a committed Christian concerned at what he sees in American Evangelicalism.

Obama's just playing another "card" - this time the "faith card."

And get over the Roe v Wade thing.

Overturning Roe v Wade will never happen. This is 2008, not 1968. And since McCain is a moderate, as president he would likely appoint a “moderate” to the Supreme Court. And a moderate would not be interested in overturning Roe v Wade, either.

Furthermore, McCain has stated clearly:” I will not appoint Supreme Court Justices just on their beliefs that Roe v Wade must be overturned. I will appoint Justices that are fair and free to interpret the Constitution as a rule of law that is fair and equal to all citizens of this great country with men, women and children all being equal.”

By the way, can anyone provide an actual quote by Obama re. Roe v Wade?

MCain is for no women's rights. He thinks women should get paid less that a man does when doing the same job. The said women need more education (he thinks we're stupid). He thinks we shouldn't have the right to have an abortion. If it's our body, it is our right to decide not his or the governments right to choose. I may not agree with abortion, but I do agree it is the right of every female to make that choice as to what is best for herself and not be dictated to by government. Just as we all have the right to have any faith we so choose. McCain want our children to go to war for him but he doesn't want to pay for their education when they are done serving after 3 years. Didn't he get his education from being a Vet.

We need to go door to door too people. Let's not become too complacent in our efforts.

Farrell, Houston, Tx June 12th, 2008 10:57 am ET

I CALL FOR OUR GOVERNMENT TO STANDUP AND DENOUNCE THAT OBAMA IS MUSLIM. THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS THE TRUTH, THEY'VE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED HIM. BUSH HAS SHOKE HANDS WITH THE IRAQ PRESIDENT AND DECLARED HIM A FRIEND OF THE UNITED STATES, OBAMA AS AN AMERICAN MORE THAN DESERVES OUR GOVERNMENT TO TELL THE TRUTH.

_______

You know. I belive Obama has said as much about not being Muslim.

But I guess some folks need it S P E L L E D O U T for them.

God said that we must make war on our enemies, that's the only way our enemies will learn. To do this we must wage war everywhere!
Everyone is our enemy. McCain is doing God's work, bless him.
Now this is going to cost us some money, lots of money, but that's ok, that's called sacrefice. We must sacrefice our money and the lives of those we draft to keep this holy battle alive. It's only money and it's only people, we can make more of both. Obama has no experience in matters of war and when he loses he and his followers will make great canon fodder. Experience matters, Bush has been president with 8 years of experience. That darn piece of paper called the constitution prevents another term, but McCain has learned from Bush and has the experience to keep the war machine oiled.

What a joke. The failed leadership of the undemocatic Democratic Party should be worrying more about wooing back its own base–all of us who have been loyal Democrats, voting for Democratic candidates and donating to them for years–all of us who have been so very badly served by the failed leaders of our own party.

They betrayed the strongest candidate that the party had running.

They betrayed the bedrock principles of our party upon which we communicate to our leaders and, indeed, chose them.

Obama fans are supporting and funding yet another tyrannical and unaccountable regime, however much different the head that such a regime is rearing up in this manifestation might look.

The failure of the leadership of the undemocatic Democratic Party will not take six years to fail (as it did for the Republicans under the Bush regime). We, the voices of the 18 million, will make sure that they fail in months, not years, and that when the failure is complete every last one of those failed leaders will be forced to resign from their positions and return our party to the people.

Obama is the ONLY professed Christian in this election.

He is the only Presidential candidate whose Christianity is a really not a FARCE (LIKE MOST REPUBLICANS).

He is the only candidate who actually went to church services for 20 YEARS!

Evangelicals KNOW that he is a Christian, and that his Christianity is not lip service like MOST members of the GOP...

I have been reading these blogs for months now and I just can't understand some people. For all you Hillary Clinton supporters that say your voting for McCain. Why would you vote for someone who has the exact opposite ideas for the country Hillary believed in. That makes absolutely no sense. Every time I hear that it just makes me sick. That kind of thinking is how we got where we are now. I have to believe Barack Obama's skin tone has alot to do with that thinking.
Gimme a break people. Use your head. McCain will be worse than Bush. Imagine going to war with Iran in 2009.
THINK.

Obama. Period. No more stupid wars.
A vote for John McCain is a vote for a war with Iran.

THE RETHUGLICANS TRY TO DISTORT OBAMA'S CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND... THEY ARE SCARED BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSED BY MANIPULATING evangelical VOTERS IN 2004.... ANY RATIONAL PERSON CAN SEE THAT OBAMA LIVES AND WALKS BY HIS FAITH... HE HAS TO HAVE FAITH BEING A BLACK MAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN AMERICA... DUHHHH

OBAMA 08...

Great...so they've figured a way to sway the holy-rollers!!!

On paper this may appear unique. But the Libertarian Party truly represents freedom of religion. If you're tired ot donating millions to two parties who only creat chisms in our society–then ignore this post.

If you want real change that is based on our constitution and bill of rights–and free from the tainted special interests–vote Libertarian 2008.

Bob Barr 2008, Libertarian and really, trully representing all Americans.

Obama and McCain will surely reward their promoters–at the sacrifice of the rest of us. Lets make real change in Washington and elect a President who is really, trully above the cow-towing and financial leverage. Bob Barr 2008, Libertarian..the party of Patrick Henry!!!

No way. He is for gays to have a right to marry. He is also pro-choice which would cause most of us not to vote for him anyway.
McCain is a one man one woman kind of person and that is why with the help of our knew Hillary supporters he will be in.

Obama is such a phony, he'd become a Monk if he thought it would
help him win the election. He will tell the American people anything
he thinks they want to hear, truth or lies (mostly Lies) How in the
world can you trust this man when he has so much baggage.

NEVER OBAMA , NEVER MICHELLE AS FIRST LADY

I CALL FOR OUR GOVERNMENT TO STANDUP AND DENOUNCE THAT OBAMA IS MUSLIM. THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS THE TRUTH, THEY'VE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED HIM. BUSH HAS SHOKE HANDS WITH THE IRAQ PRESIDENT AND DECLARED HIM A FRIEND OF THE UNITED STATES, OBAMA AS AN AMERICAN MORE THAN DESERVES OUR GOVERNMENT TO TELL THE TRUTH.

Obama is not the Anti Christ so get over it.

Obama why are you still running? Just give it up and go sit down somewhere, you cannot beat Mccain. Experience vs Change you do the math!!!!
----------------------------------
-see Lisa we did....Hillary ran on change and Obama won...so he's stil running because he is the nominee...stop living in a delusion.

Did they fire all the editors or just hire too many bad writers at CNN? This article does not inform the reader what it is really about until well into the middle – the picture and title indicates that Obama or the dems are trying to attract a certain religious group, but the story starts and goes on and on about republican efforts in '04. Gradually some dem. groups for this election are discussed, but is this any way to describe a new dynamic – a mystery novel perhaps – but a news piece to analyze political movements no.

Its time to tax all evangelical churchs or any churchs that enter the political arena with commentary.If your faith is that strong all you need is God ,not government.

Church and State must be separate!

Christian leaders need to focus on their church.
How in a land permeated by the teaches of Jesus Christ do we spend half a trillion dollars a year (probably twice that) on the means to kill?
I got news for ya'll, people that go to war when the don't have to, ARE NOT CHRISTIANS, "kill 'em for Jesus" is a great bumper sticker and a paraphrase from a popular psycho Christian leader, but is the antithesis Jesus preachings.
Most of the modern Christianity seems to have more in common with what Satan might preach than Jesus' words.

That is if I thought any of this stuff was real, for though I have read the bible multiple times, I do not believe it is real, and you shouldn't either.

I love that cnn is so fair and unbaised and pulls just about every comment that is not postive for Obama and lets a couple of mild ones slide. Fact 1. His middle name is Hussien. Fact 2. He did attend and was a church memeber to a radical anti-white church .fact 3. He and some of his follwers including his wife made anti- american statements . fact 4 . He is friends with radical terriost like "Ayers". Fact 5. He will not release his birth certificate for public scrutiny . What is so damaging that he won't release it. I will not vote for this man for them reasons. What he stands for is against everything "GOD' stands for and america.

Christian Evangelicals should think twice before voting for a candidate who sends our young american kids to die in Iraq for an UNJUST WAR!

100 years WAR and Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran is not a christian faith and it's not God's believe in PEACE and Justice for MANKIND!

VOTE FOR HOPE, AND NOT YOUR FEAR!

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS UNITE FOR OBAMA!!!!!

What ever happened to the Progressive demand to keep religion out of the state? First Obama tries to woo evangelicals. Then he cuts a deal with them to get their support. Then he owes them for their support. The next thing we know, an Obama administration is questioning gay marriage, Roe v. Wade and all of the other principles Progressives hold dear. Is Obama selling the soul of the Democratic Party for a few votes?

It turns out that Sen. Obama's Chicago zip code is 60606 – the sign of the beast. This revelation raises an interesting question:
If Obama is exposed as the Antichrist, do you think it could hurt his presidential chances?

Correction:

As I see it, the bible says jude ye not lest ye be judged. So, I have learned to try and not judge others because as sue as you do – your day will come.

Hillary as VP = Unity

Obama/Clinton 08

Obama will pander to any group. I notice he now wears a flag pin. The Blue collar group wants it, so he will now wear it? He is a politician who will throw anyone under the bus to become President. He is either very naive or very stupid when it comes to the company he keeps. His judgement on a lot of choices he has made in his life leave a lot to be desired. He did not vote for the war, big wup, he could not vote. When he could vote he either wasn't present or voted present.? Maybe when they called his name he just yelled Present to let them know he was there?

The abortion rate has skyrocketed, more than a million poor children are denied a chance at life each year. The rate of pregnancy outside marriage has skyrocketed since Roe v Wade, and it is dramatically affecting all communities. The African American community now has more children born outside of marriage than inside. That's a lot of children without a stable household. Democrats talk about what's holding down racial equality, and they don't take a large enough scope to look at the cause of social issues which generate these problems.

Obama why are you still running? Just give it up and go sit down somewhere, you cannot beat Mccain. Experience vs Change you do the math!!!!

How can Obama relate to Evangelicats, that church did not spurn hatread over decades like Obama's church did and does? Obama is pandering do these religious people.

As I see it, the bible says judge ye not lest ye be judged. So, I have learned not to try and not judge others because as sure as you do it – your day will come.

THe reason the evangelicals are flocking to the democrats is simple, there is nothing christian in how gb, or mcwar or the repubs in their actions and people are no longer being fooled. A new tide is turning, people are becoming more enlightened and Obama is like a breath of beautiful fresh air.

I'm so glad for this! I'm tired of being grouped in with right wing extremists because I love my church community.

I don't believe this. I heard Obama define "sin" as "not being true to myself" – which means he basically considers himself to be God. I don't think anyone who has real religious beliefs (Muslims included) could support someone who elevates himself to a diety.

Drop out Obama you can't win!!!! Give Hillary a shot so the Democrates can unite once again.

"Evangelicals" make me kind of nervous, but I accept that the democratic nominee is person whose faith is very important to him.

There aren't disaffected evangelicals. These are Christians who believe that God cannot be hijacked by any group of people. They are people who don't believe in abortion but believe in a woman's right to choose. If God gave man the ability to make choices, no one has the right to take that away from us. Those are the ones Obama will get this fall.
