Yeah, and it deserved a media blitz. Now, I think that any candidate that uses his faith as a selling point should be ridiculed to tears, but considering today’s attitude towards mythology, I can understand the MSM going all-out against Huck, but leaving Obama (and McCain as well) alone.

Yeah – That comment by Huckabee scared the hell out of me.

Well, to be fair, Huckabee said that he wanted to bring the Constitution in line with God’s law.

Little different than saying, “I am a faithful man.”

“* Obama has used his faith as a politicking point. Why does faith make him more qualified to run this country?
”

That bugged the hell out of me. When a Republican like Huckabee invokes faith on the campaign trail the media jumps all over him for it, but when Obama repeatedly does so it gets conveniently ignored by the MSM

Oh, and I forgot to add that Obama is against a constitutional amendment to protect the rights of gays to marry.

I’m just saying, I support the guy, but be careful of that line where support for Obama exceeds support for what you want for this country.

I think more people should be saying “I’m voting for Obama, but…”. Same is true for McCain.

Here’s why I have that annoying little “but” (lol):

* Obama wants to expand faith-based initiatives. Why should my money go to religious orgs when I fully able to make intelligent donation decisions for myself?

* Obama supports diplomatic ties with countries that attack provinces that they consider to be their own. Georgia, anyone?

* Obama supports FISA. ‘Nuff said.

* Obama has used his faith as a politicking point. Why does faith make him more qualified to run this country?

This is just a few of the points that I will be writing against once Obama has become president, and with my vote, I might add. We have to question all of our representatives in the government, not just the ones who don’t share our letter designation.

I have voted in past 6 elections as a Republican,I’ve
been laid off from job the 81 year old company went bankrupt,I’m terminally ill with no insurance now,I lost my home to foreclosure,I’m up to my eyeballs in past due bills,new bankruptcy laws that Bush past brings no real relief,gas is $4 a gallon & going higher,oil companies are making record profits, I cant afford to drive to an interview,grocery,energy,and basic living expenses are sky high,my oldest son of 19 wont be going to college because of all the increased costs,my younger children are behind in academics because we could not afford PRE-K ,let alone child care! I’m a patriot and I love my country,but spending a trillion $ with unlimited spending into the future is not taking care of the U.S. and I do mean “us” the AMERICAN PEOPLE ! I admit I made a mistake(voting Republican)…every issue above that my family and millions of others are experiencing are on the table for correction by the Democrats party.So for first time I’m making the right choice and voting for OBAMA who is a down to earth person and with the help of his party will put us on the road to recovery,prosperity,and world leadership.HE”S GOT EVERYONE IN MY IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED FAMILY’S VOTE. If the party does everything they say they will I will become a Democrat eternally. GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!

Al Giordano is right on. I recall making much the same point once or twice when HRC was hanging on for dear life.

We should all remember that we watched Obama run a primary campaign where they utterly ignored the national polls and focused on how to collect up delegates. They are now focused on winning the states they need — again, not the tracking polls. I, for one, am delighted at their tactic of developing state-specific issues to attack McCain on.

look I am not a naysayer however Obama is on vacation and McSame is battling for Pa. And when Obama does take the gloves off he seems to be wearing mittens under neath.

Also not one bit of praise for Hillary for not buying into Mark Penn’s sleaze machine except Keith on last nights countdown.

Why, indeed? But for those of us surrounded by nay-sayers… cut and paste Giordano’s editorial.

I want to be Al Giordano when I grow up!
