Hell, I think it's a good thing...it shows how far we've come :2cents: YOU'RE the one I feel sorry for. Pretty much. Not only is it sad, it's pathetic and ignorant. Which unfortunatly discribes alot of people these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Wait, I thought Obama was a Muslim Communist (or a Communist Muslim)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Sooo, a book is written affirming Obama's "Christian-ness." In an election year. I'm confused as to what the big deal really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Stephen Mansfield has touched on a few things that could bring Evangelicals to Obama's camp. But most won't. The vast majority won't vote for Obama. The ones that will vote for Obama are the same ones that voted for Clinton. Being an Evangelical doesn't mean belonging to a monolithic thought on how to vote for elected officials. The two sides differ to strongly on basic points and charm and charisma only last so very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I think the writer's point is that there are ISSUES that evenagelicals and Obama can agree on, and so its not simply a question of charm and charisma. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this outweigh other issues such as social and international policy liberalism? I 'd wager not for the vast majority of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSaints_fan Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Abraham LincolnJohn Fitzgerald Kennedy Dwight Eisenhower Jimmy Carter George Bush Bill Clinton Ronald Reagan William McKinnley John Quincy Adams and all the American named presidents....! Then there is Barrack Hussein Obama.......and nobody has a problem with that? It may just be a name to you guys,but it tells me more than that people! I'm truly sad, for many of you.... Funny that we would appoint that dude as Commander in Chief of all Allied forces in Europe. I mean is name is German, he must be a Nazi sympathazier, right?

I don't think that Obama will all of a sudden win a majority, or even close to a majority, of evangelical voters. But, I think it is a strong point that some evangelicals will look at both candidates and realize that BOTH of them are with them on some issues and against them on others.

NavyDave Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Translation: if a candidate doesn't have an old white man's name, I'm not voting for him.How is that white hood fitting you these days? I don't wear a hood, have a gorgeous permanent tan and the middle name did give a moment to pause. He does/did have associations with leaders who spew hate towards America and Jews. And like it or not if the majority of Christians perceive that Obama is more likely to back pro Islamic middle eastern issues and not totally back the survival of Israel thats not being bigoted.

It shouldn't be, but the whackos and slimists have made it relevant and possibly even important to some by endlessly questioning his religion, beliefs, and background.
