I must say I agree 100% with russki2006 and marteblackmon! I was stunned and had to read the article a couple times to make I wasn't reading it wrong. Some people are so worried about winning , they don't care what they'll win. With Giuliani, he is a social liberal and stands for everything I despise. Why would I vote for him? He is what we call a RINO (Republican in Name Only).

A few Bible verses will convey the message of Osteen's appeal and the falsehood he spreads:
-- For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2 Tim. 4:3
-- People who will not endure sound doctrine are turning their ears away from the truth and willfully giving themselves over to fables or lies: and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables 2 Tim. 4:4
-- Mat 7:15, 20-23 (NIV) "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves... Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them... Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evil doers!'"

I think the drunk anti-jewish comments made by Mel Gibson speak volumes about him. Christians have a connection with the Jews as Jesus was one on earth. They are spiritual kin and should not be denigrated. Also, I don't think that Catholicism necessary makes one a Christian as many don't follow the Bible and are more focused on Tradition than what God says.

Presidential Favorite Will Emerge from 'Values' Summit, Conservative Predicts

This forum for the GOP does not erase the records of each candidate. Giuliani is a democrat in GOP clothing, Romney is a flip-flopper that stood for liberal causes as Mass Gov, and McCain is the "maverick" that compromises with the Left on every stance. Each of these candidates now wants you to believe they stand for Conservative values. Thompson says he will not "court" the "religious right" (to me the values voters) and has given support to abortionist firm in the past. Where is the GOP as a party moving toward? Are we for smaller govt, less taxes, conservative social issues? If so, we need to have folks like Mike Huckabee and Duncan Hunter as the front runners. Hope the primaries shake out someone other than Giuliani or it sets a bad precedence from here on in.

Why Some Evangelicals Won't Vote for Romney

How do we hold our GOP responsible for not pursuing the social conservative values that our political party has stood for? In 2006, the GOP lost the Congressional race because they were more interested in winning than introducing and implementing the values they were elected to pursue. They still don't seem to get it. Now, in the presidential race we have candidates that don't stand for our values. Giuliani is a democrat in GOP clothing, Romney is a flip-flopper that stood for liberal causes as Mass Gov, and McCain is the "maverick" that compromises with the Left on every stance. Each of these candidates now wants you to believe they stand for Conservative values. Thompson says he will not "court" the "religious right" (to me the values voters) and has given support to abortionist firm in the past. Where is the GOP as a party moving toward?
