the only way i can describe this...

It both utterly amazes & fascinates me that when I sit & listen to conservatives, especially Christian Conservatives (Religious Right) talk about politics, is that the only way they know how to get involved is to smear their "opponent", using their Religion to help them choose their political stance. Why is it that they always seem to be "against" something, instead of just "for" something? A personal campaign ran on negativity against something instead of positivity for something. I just don't get it. Well, this is for the "followers"...

THERE is no such thing as a "Christian politics." If it is a politics, it cannot be Christian. Jesus told Pilate: "My reign is not of this present order. If my reign were of this present order, my supporters would have fought against my being turned over to the Jews. But my reign is not here" (John 18:36). Jesus brought no political message or program.

I hope that one day everyone, especially the religious right, actually spends time on issues instead of smear campaigns. Please, wake up.

THERE is no such thing as "Christian politics."
Jesus brought no political message or program.
Jesus was not a conservative. A Republican. A Democrat.
He was an Independent. He listened to the issues, regardless of who brought them.

So, if we were to take a lesson from Jesus, let us not distort it by portraying negative "against the other" political campaigns. Just be positive about your beliefs and who you are "for".

Quick Suggestion: Try changing the name of your groups from "Christians Against Obama" or "Sarasota Against Obama", etc. etc, to something like this...

"Christians for McCain" or "Sarasota for McCain". It's a much more positive message.
