Obama and McCain Running for Pastor-in-Chief


The presidential candidates finally appeared on the same stage Saturday night, but not for a debate. Rather the politicians campaigned in a Church. Not a Roman Catholic Church, not a Unitarian Church, not a Buddhist Temple, and certainly not a Muslim Mosque, but a Christian Church with a Southern Baptist preacher.

Will the other churches in America get equal time?

It seems like only yesterday when Democrats criticized Republicans for mixing politics and religion. These days, the new Democratic Obamacratic Party emulates the Republican Party. The Obama campaign is serious about mixing politics and religion. So serious that they promise that we will find religion at the upcoming Democratic National Convention:

The campaign also announced Saturday that the upcoming Democratic National Convention would have a strong religious flavor, with "faith caucus meetings" to discuss religious voters' concerns and daily invocations and benedictions from national faith leaders. The list includes Joel Hunter, a prominent Republican pastor from an evangelical Florida church; a Greek Orthodox archbishop; a Roman Catholic nun from Cleveland; and a Colorado couple who are both Methodist ministers.

Somebody pinch me so I can wake up from this election nightmare. If you watched the Christian political event, you learned that you might want to vote for Democratic Barack Obama because:

"I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins and I am redeemed through Him. That is a source of strength and sustenance on a daily basis. I know that I don't walk alone."

Or maybe you want to vote for Republican John McCain because:

"I am saved and forgiven."

Gawd. I don't want to vote for either one of them. What f@%king country are we living in?
