OD, I hate posting on the religious form when I have a beef, for fear of offending anyone. For the record, thats never my intention and certainly isn't my intertion here.
Heres my problem:
Quote:
It is difficult to tell whether Mr. Obama’s religious and political beliefs are fused or simply run parallel. The junior senator from Illinois often talks of faith as a moral force essential for solving America’s vexing problems. Like Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and John Edwards, his fellow Democratic candidates, he expresses both a political and a religious obligation to help the downtrodden. Like conservative Christians, he speaks of AIDS as a moral crisis.
I will not vote for any of these people now. This is half the problem we have with Bush. If a candidate can't have good moral values to start with, without adding religion into the mix, they may end up part of the problem.
Just my opinion.
Thanks for posting this!
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour

There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville
