She should be who she is. Be no more open or less open than she would be if she weren’t running for office.
This has been going on for a while.
People STILL bash Bush for saying he prays and relies on God for guidance, yet Obama has had the very same thing.
Why, I thought she was a Wiccan, at least that is what CNN told me. Why would she be mentioning God?
I was in a class on the ten commandments about 15 years ago that caused a significant shift in my interpretation of the phrase “use God’s name in vain”. Before that time I thought it meant using His name when swearing, etc.
I now see it as things like using His name to get what you want. The “I’m a Christian, so buy my stuff or vote for me” thing. The little fish on a business card, for example.
I think that there is nothing wrong with being open about your faith, but you must examine your own heart. If you are doing it to gain favor from others (their business or their vote) I think you are invoking the name of God for personal gain and, in fact, using His name in vain.
Since I don’t know her heart when she discusses her faith, I have no opinion on whether she does it too much.
If you don’t bring God into the political sphere, the void will be filled with Marx or Allah. Simple as that.
If her campaign tries to force her to talk about international trade or details about the federal budget, she'll be a goner. That would be utterly hopeless.
I’ve know too many con-men who carried a bible wherever they went to not be at least a bit wary of anyone who leads with professed faith as a way of gaining trust.
"In God we trust" and I trust candidates who have a genuine faith in God that they are unafraid to express.
Of course, the UIC is another matter since his faith is in an entity other than God.
I would rather she speak about God than Satan. How pathetic are those who try to destroy this lady.
No, because that might upset the atheists, communists, and terrorists. We wouldn't want to get them upset now.
Where could anti-Christian hatred be directed other than against Christians? Obama's rather absurd claim to being a Christian is only mentioned for propaganda; no one actually believes him, not even the few cafeteria Christians who vote for him. The media don't mind Obama claiming to be Christian any more than they minded Clinton's claims of marital fidelity. They laugh privately at the absurd lie they have to sell, accept the challenge, and go try to sell the new story.
We have too many whom believe they are their own god, and they answer to no higher power.
Such is the usual candidate for an office today, their own god
Sarah Palin is an exception. And it is one of her great traits. IMO
Let me ask you this... were our Founders talking “so much” about GOD? Yes... they were.

The people of Delaware need God on their side to get through the Obamamare.
I dismiss out of hand any serious opinion that a liberal utters or writes - it is most often anaphoric regurgitated tripe and nonsense, sometimes funny, to be laughed at, ultimately sad: for lack of their reason, and for my awareness that these idiots breathe the same air and share a nation with me.
