Sarah Palin will NEVER be president. She might win the republican nomination, but she would lose bigger than McCain in the general election. In fact the rebublican/conservative party is on course for a showdown. As people like Palin, Huck, and Tpaw try to 'cleanse' the party of RINO's, religous conservatives like me/us are going to get pushed out. People like Rush, Hannity, and Coulter may be right in some of the things they say but the bottom line is that they're well paid entertainers and do very little for the cause of Christ.

It's amazing that church and evangelical leaders are not more careful about who they endorse or consider their friends. Just because someone 'seems' to be on your side doesn't mean that they genuinely line up with God's word or live a life of holiness. There may be truth in the things that Rush Limbaugh says on his radio show, but his association with the religious right has done the cross of Christ absolutely no favors. Same thing goes for people like Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity. How many people have rejected God because they think His people are like the afore mentioned personalities?

It's time for true christians to stand on the word of God and quit compromising! Be sure of your words and actions and carefully sift your associations. Miss California is probably a nice person but by jumping on her bandwagon without getting the whole story, the church looks foolish and opportunistic.

A bad association will haunt you for years and video tape is forever. When will we ever learn?

What a great article. Hopefully the church is listening to the prophetic words of Dr. Mohler. You can sure tell that this country's attitudes towards christians has changed - I don't remember hearing any blowback when Billy Graham prayed at Bill Clintons inaugural ceremony.

As I've studied the book of Revelation, I've often wondered why the U.S. does not come to Israel's defence. I couldn't imagine what disaster befell this country to tumble us from being a world military power. It's becoming clearer that we will most likely implode from within morally, economically, and spiritually.

Why the Christian Right Loves Sarah Palin

Finally - someone in the media has the "guts" to tell it like it is. I can't disagree with anything in this article.

*As Frank Schaeffer, one of the founders of the Christian Right who has now renounced it, writes, “In 2000, we elected a president who claimed he believed God created the earth and who, as president, put car manufacturers and oil companies’ interests ahead of caring for that creation. We elected a pro-life Republican Congress that did nothing to actually care for pregnant women and babies. And they took their sincere evangelical followers for granted, and played them for suckers.”

Well spoken and true.

Values Voter Summit Opens Amid Intense '08 Election Race

It should not suprise anyone that we evangelicals will of course for McCain/Palin. After all, that's the main reason why Palin was chosen as VP - get those evangelicals fired up like Karl Rove did in 2004. McCain really wanted Tom Ridge or Joe Lieberman but his advisors basically told him that if he wanted a fighting chance at winning in November, he had to make the evangelicals happy and therefore could not pick a pro choice VP. McCain, realizing that the republicans can't win without us, chose uber-christian governor Palin and is hoping for a replay of 2004.

It's interesting that at the value voters debate McCain only received 4% of the vote and now we're supposed to run like lemmings off a cliff after him? This is the precise reason why I will vote third party from now on.

The last 8 years have proven that when you mix politics and religion, all you end up with is politics. As an evangelical christian I will no longer allow the republican party to USE me or my vote. Until government is controlled by the people and not corprations or greedy, lying politicians, it will never change.

I have just read a book that has opened my eyes and shaken me up. It's Greg Boyd's "The Myth Of A Christian Nation: How the Quest for Political Power Is Destroying the Church." This book should be required reading for everyone in America who calls themselves a christian.

Palin Fires Up Conservatives

As an evangelical christian of 42 years, I have finally seen the light. The only reason the republican party tolerates us is because they can't win elections without us. I think that Sarah Palin is a tremendous woman and worthy of the white house. However, I see her for exactly what she is; a carrot on a stick for the church to once again help the republicans get elected. I am sick and tired of being taken for granted until election time rolls around. The republican party trots out the abortion/family values/patriotism routine and we eat it up. I hate abortion and want a constitutional ban but lets be realistic - even if Mccain is elected president, he'll be up against a democratic majority house and senate and will never get the kind of supreme court judges that we want appointed to the bench. I find it laughable that we could barely stand Mccain but now that he has a "evangelical approved" VP running mate we suddenly think that he's great. Think twice before you sell your soul for politics.

Evangelical Leader Says McCain's VP Pick 'Most Important'

If John McCain picks a pro choice VP, it's all over. Obama will win. I know too many christians who will not be able to bring themselves to vote for any part of a republican ticket that is pro choice.

Anyways, the more I listen to John McCain, there is a 'check' in my spirit. He says things that us evangelicals want to hear but it's all lip service to get elected. Kind of like GWBush in 2004 who I did vote for.

Who did Jesus vote for?

I just finished reading a book by Greg Boyd called 'The Myth Of A Christian Nation; How The Quest For Political Power Is Destroying The Church.' The Spirit of God within me has completely agreed with the book and its examples.

Republicans cannot win without the christian rights votes. John McCain is in serious trouble as the above article alludes too.

It's quite ironic that Karl Rove's chickens have come home to roost.

He presented GWBush as the ultimate "christian" presidential candidate ever and in doing so made it almost impossible for any other republican to meet our expectations.

I voted twice for Bush - in 2000 and 2004. And now I find myself in the position of having to really vote for the lesser of 2 evils again - I will most likely vote third party. And before anyone yells about the supreme court, just remember that McCain, even if elected, won't get church approved nominee's past the majority democrat senate.

Well christian leaders, you've tarnished and damaged God's church by mixing it with the filthy politics of this world - and what has it gotten you?

Surely Jesus is weeping over us.

Obama Prying Loose Evangelicals from Republicans

I am one evangelical who will not vote for Obama. I also will not vote for McCain. I will only vote third party from now on since the two party system is broken beyond repair.

The only reason John McCain panders to us christians is because he knows that he can't win without us. Now that Hillary is not the dem nominee, evangelicals will not turn out in record numbers to vote against her. That means that McCain now has to work for our vote since it's no longer guaranteed.

He probably throws up in his mouth a little bit everytime he has to say something nice about the church since he can't stand us. Unfortunately for him the feeling is mutual. Third party here I come.

I find it absolutely unbelievable that church leaders can be so naive. If John McCain isn't 100% acceptable now, there is no magic wand that will make him so before november. And face it, Mike Huckabee will not be on any ballot this fall.

It seems that our (church people) always voting for the republican, even though they're usually pukes, has gotten us into the dilemma we face this fall. There will never be another presidential candidate who talks and acts like GWB did and look where it got us. I'm voting third party from now on. And yes I have 100% peace and sleep well at night.

I too, am tired of voting for the lesser of two evils so I will no longer vote for Republicans OR Democrats. I will only vote third party from now on. I find it quite amazing that very few people understand that Karl Rove helped put us in this evangelical/political crisis. He knew that the only way to get Bush re-elected in 2004 was to go after the evangelical church and simply raise their voting levels in the districts that Bush won in 2000. Obviously it worked. However, he unwittingly created a situation where NO republican candidate can measure up "religiously" to GWBush. Many church people have woken up to the fact that they were used in 2004 for political gain and are now angry enough to turn their backs on the Republicans as evidenced by the polling. McCain will still get the majority of evangelicals who end up voting this fall, but Obama and Barr will take their fair share too. At this point, I will vote for Barr. I am a worship leader in a A/G church and for the first time in my 42 years I will not be voting for a republican. They really don't deserve it anyways. Even if McCain wins, he'll be up against a Democrat majority Senate and will never get evangelical approved supreme court nominees through the process.
