John McCain Can’t Have It Both Ways

Why Does The McCain Campaign Want To Convince You To Be Scared of Obama?

Is the McCain campaign having it’s cake and eating it too? Are they for or against calling Barack Obama a terrorist?  Do they think the only way they can win, is to scare the voting public into thinking Obama is not a true American?

Did you ever wonder who started the rumors about Obama? If so, here is a very interesting article in the New York Times - The Man Behind the Whispers About Obama

The most persistent falsehood about Senator Barack Obama’s background first hit in 2004 just two weeks after the Democratic convention speech that helped set him on the path to his presidential candidacy: “Obama is a Muslim who has concealed his religion.”

That statement, contained in a press release, spun a complex tale about the ancestry of Mr. Obama, who is Christian.

The press release was picked up by a conservative Web site, FreeRepublic.com, and spread steadily as others elaborated on its claims over the years in e-mail messages, Web sites and books. It continues to drive other false rumors about Mr. Obama’s background.

This one really takes the cake.  I’m no theologian, and I won’t claim to know what God is thinking.  But, I’m just going to take a wild guess here, and assume God doesn’t like this kind of thing very much.

Is this guy kidding? Did he just threaten God? When did this election become a war between the good Gods and the bad Gods? Personally…I think there are good people and bad people, not good Gods and bad Gods. What do you think?

On the lighter side
