It is the same with Jesse Jackson representing “African-Americans”. He doesn’t.
Represent yourself and be the best witness for God you can be in your own walk. Don’t rely on others to give you what you can find or do for yourself.
“I’m sorry, but these “Christian leaders” don’t represent me. I’m a Christian, but I haven’t elected a one of them.”
Does Tim Russert and Chris Matthews represent you? George Stephanopoulos? Or is it only Christian conservatives you have a problem with asking debate questions of our candidates?
It is nothing even approaching the same thing. These people have made no representations that they represent all Christians have they?
Do they go around and shake others down for money because they are not Christian? Everytime a Christian is raped or murdered do you see one of these people in the camera saying it was because they were Christian? So, nothing like Jackson.
What they are I think is a group of concerned citizens like any other who are holding a debate to see where candidates stand on the issues with which they are concerned.
They are no different than South Carolinians, Iowans, The League of Women Voters or anyone else who might want to hold a debate. If a candidate doesn't want to debate, he isn't being forced to do so. Why are Republican so downs on debates of late? I think we should have one every week. How hard can it be to stand at a podium and say what you believe?
