He should not only reject their extremist beliefs he should reject their endorsements. No candidate should seek, celebrate, or even accept endorsements from religious leaders.

Don't twist and manipulate words to your side. Don't make quotes that nobody said. McCain called Parsley A spiritual guide, not HIS spiritual guide. A and HIS have two distincly different meanings.

This sort of information, I firmly believe needs to be circulated as widely as possible. I'm convinced that there are many people and families that do not have time or energy, after afull day's work and caring for kids and all the other things we have to do,to do more than watch the news. And we know that the mainstream media have not been keeping us informed as we need to be informed to preserve our democracy. Maybe too many of us have forgotten that a democracy depends on a well informed public. And maybe we've forgotten that in a democracy, the country gets the leaders it deserves. I do not believe that most of us deserve what's happening to us. This administration and some members of Congress (not all) are destroying not only our democracy, they are heading the whole country toward destruction.
So we need to get our own circles of information moving on these terribly important and very scary things. I'm grateful to Texas Freedom Network for forwarding this Interfaith info. to me.But you have to pay dues to get information from them and you have to pay dues to belong to the Interfaith Alliance. I received 21 requests for money from reputable NGO's the other day. Our problem is a big one since the mainstream media as well as our elected officials have betrayed us.

Notice that O'Reilly and Hannity aren't howling about this on Faux news like they are still doing over Rev. Wright. "Fair and balanced" like my a**.

Rev. Gaddy:
You ask politicians to rise to a standard that is beyond most of them. Religion sits there as an attractive nuisance to connect them to the values of voters they need. It is too easy for a politician to travel that road and too hard to abjure it when they fear that an opponent will seize it.
Senator Obama has offered in his campaign the stronger counter to a religious appeal. Instead of declaring separation of Church and State, he has preached the value of an America united across religious, ethnic, and gender divides. By recognizing our common needs and problems we can act together to address them. The message is positive rather than lecturing. In his hands it has gained a lot of traction.

Rev. Gaddy is right on target, especially regarding this country's founders' wisdom in providing for separation of church and state in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Would that all politicians remember the wisdom of the Congress in 1952 that approved the constitution for the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico with its ringing declaration that "There shall be complete separation of church and state."

I don't agree with your saying that McCain should denounce Parsley or John Hagee. Different denouncements for different folks; that's what you're saying: how about Obama. Get Real; God's kingdom will come and His will be done...no matter what anyone believes or not believes...Ear tickling messages is all I hear and people pleasers instead of God pleasers...

nonsense. Should Obama reject the tacit endorsement of the Daily Kos and the Huffington post?
