"The absence has some Southern Baptists wondering whether the Arizona senator wants their vote. "


One would hope not. We''ve had enough of politicians masquerading as religious leaders and leading the sheeple to the voting booths with a bible in one hand and an RNC check in the other.

We aren''''''''t going to vote for Obama not because he is too liberal, but because he is too black.

At least you''''re honest.

Make sure you bring your hangman noose in November!

I think this poster is a satirist, much like gopsoccermom is; best to ignore his posts.

These Southern Baptist Christian phonies are waiting to find out if McCain will kill more people than Bush in his first term.

They love that Butcher of Crawford Bush.

And his 935 lies.

And his murders of 4094 Americans for Halliburton.

Wasn''t it a Baptist preacher by the name of Reverend Harry Powell who said?

"A liar is an abomination to the Lord!"

George W Bush is an abomination to the Lord!

G W Bush - Son of Satan.

Damned for all time!

At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain''''s hair and said, "You''''re getting a little thin up there." McCain''''s face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don''''t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you ***." McCain''''s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days."

The Southern Baptist? I was one? Before I got saved!
I don''t know that political parties change as much as people do, as mentioned by the Rev.Frank Page. Gawd, why do we have to keep going back to the Civil War to declare whose right or wrong? My great grandfather was a fire and brimstone Baptist Preacher of the south that flanked a sword as an officer. He owned slaves and I often heard my grandmother talk about how things were when they became free. It is not to surprise anyone that the southern part of Baptist is in the south, so naturally they had to set their slaves free, as many southern Baptist slave owners, passed on their last names to slaves with only first names, it not to shocking that they had anything to do with freeing the slaves, it was sort of part of the two Generals agreement on the day of surrender. It also suggests why so many blacks are of the Southern Baptist belief, since their ancestors owners no doubt had felt a yearning need to pass the only belief known to them on to their servants. After all way deep down in every Baptist is a human, just waiting to pop out. I am not looking for someone to keep us in a Holy War so a books prophecy can come true. The very best the religious right could give us is "W" Bush. Religion needs to return to the people, and politics need to return to one''s conscience. Will you really vote for a man that will likely involve your kids and grandkids in a war for another 8 years?

Not to shock you, but the Southern Baptists played a major role in the abolition of slavery. You seem to have a very dim, narrow view of a religion that is practiced by millions of honest Americans who love God and their country.

It does! This from Wikipedia;
"Baptists struggled to gain a foothold in the South, the next generation of preachers accommodated themselves to the society. Rather than challenging the gentry on slavery, they began to find that the Bible supported its practice. In the two decades after the Revolution, preachers abandoned their pleas for manumission. They even wanted to preserve the rights of ministers themselves to hold slaves. The Triennial Convention and the Home Mission Society reaffirmed their neutrality concerning slavery. The consequences of the decision to separate from other Baptists in defense of white supremacy and the institution of slavery have been long lived. A survey by SBC''s Home Mission Board in 1968 showed that only eleven percent of Southern Baptist churches would admit Americans of African descent."

All fundamental religions, not just Southern Baptists should be wary of McCain. This is the same man that once called Jerry Falwell "An agent of intolerance". Five years later, he visited Falwell, kissed his fat-A$$, and made up. Of course, that was when he decided to seek the Republican nomination. This man is a three dollar bill, a phoney that will say or do anything to get elected. Don''t trust this guy America!

he knows how to treat a lady

"maybe because of this:

"Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain''s intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain''s hair and said, "You''re getting a little thin up there." McCain''s face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don''t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you ***." McCain''s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days."

If it''s something to do with enforcing our immigration laws., the special interest lobby will crawl out of the sewer to stop its enactment. Just like the SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) a Federal bill, the laggard Democrats don''t want voted into law. Corruption has manifested itself, as house Speaker Nancy Pelosi has used intimidation to stop her clan from endorsing this legislation. Predatory employers would be arrested, fined and possibly imprisoned and millions of illegal aliens would leave of their own accord. It would give extra teeth to all immigration laws now on the books. Demand the SAVE ACT! (2022243121 ) Unsuppressed details at NUMBERSUSA

pensacola88 - i am a southern baptist and i have yet to come across the behavior that you speak of from southern baptists. i dare say that there were more than baptists hiding behind the white sheets. and i can tell you this: my mind is open and i am also a registered democrat and have been all of my adult life. where do you find baptists discriminating in business? i own a business and i find this absurd. and our church regularly unites with surrounding churches in our community for shared causes and just plain old fellowship. get your Bible out and read it.

We do not support McCain for the same reason we will not support Obama or Hillary - abortion and immigration. McCain does not have the same views of the things most important to us. I believe that if I vote based on moral issues, then God will take care of the financial issues. God is my provider, he has proven himself over and over. I have to be obedient and killing babies whom God knows the hairs on their head even while they are in the womb (Psalm 139) is not acceptable in our leader.

The Southern Baptists SHOULD be WARY of McSame just like ALL AMERICANS! He is a selfish, DECEITFUL OPPORTUNIST WITH NO CHARACTER. He is NOT THE HERO he loves to portray, but he is a ''sell out'' since he made 32 propoganda films for the Viet Cong so he could come home. Once arriving home, he left his not so lovely first wife since she had been in an auto accident which severely crippled her. He then married the rich and younger cindy! NO CHARACTER McSAME! NARCISSISTIC McSAME!

The Southern Baptists wariness of McCain is to the best benefit of the Republican party and the country. John McCain has many more interests to represent than the traditional evangelicals.

John McCain knows that the fundamentalists, whether Baptists or Muslims, are clearly destined for confrontation and a perpetual state of disagreement.

During the 1930''s Southern Baptists considered it fashionable to promote their idealogy and classifications, by joining the K.K.K. and embracing racism and uncivil treatment of Non-Southern Baptists.

Today, it is customary for Southern Baptists to discriminate against doing business with Non- Southern Baptists, where possible. They have their own television shows and agenda and never share an agenda with another religious affiliation.

John McCain is wise to speak against this type of behavior and commands great respect for his stance against this type of discrimination.

The best thing the country can hope for is that God finds a way to open the mind of a Southern Baptist. They don''t exhibit acceptance of different types of people willingly, and will throw away people over superficial and petty criteria.
