Didn’t see this before. Guess we got bored or sleepy that week and missed it.

On a related note – who are you hoping to recruit for the 2012 or 2016 election? With two year campaigns becoming the norm, now might be a good time to start thinking that way.
If Jesus ran for president – his opponents attack ad might look something like this…
(Btw didn’t like the John
McCain bit at the end but otherwise thought it was pretty spot on)
in other news (a repeat video I’m sure here)…
Posted this question on Twitter today and my other social networks.
Figured I’d post it here (without the 140 character limit) and see what response I get.
question :: Two men are running for president of the United States. Both men claim to be strong Christians and/or followers of Chirst. Can you trust that claim, if they also claim to put country before God?
See the image above and this quote from Obama’s speech last night:
“So I’ve got news for you, John McCain. We all put our country first.”
Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat—I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? If any of you is embarrassed with me and the way I’m leading you, know that the Son of Man will be far more embarrassed with you when he arrives in all his splendor in company with the Father and the holy angels. This isn’t, you realize, pie in the sky by and by. Some who have taken their stand right here are going to see it happen, see with their own eyes the kingdom of God.” – Luke 9:23-27
MondayMorningInsight reports that President Bush’s pastor is supporting Barack Obama this year and has started a new website :: JamesDobsonDoesntSpeakforMe.com.
From the website:
James Dobson doesn’t speak for me.
He doesn’t speak for me when he uses religion as a wedge to divide;
He doesn’t speak for me when he speaks as the final arbiter on the meaning of the Bible;
James Dobson doesn’t speak for me when he uses the beliefs of others as a line of attack;
He doesn’t speak for me when he denigrates his neighbor’s views when they don’t line up with his;
He doesn’t speak for me when he seeks to confine the values of my faith to two or three issues alone;
The delegate count as of this morning:
McCain – 613
Romney – 269
Huckabee – 190
Paul – 14
