I am mostly with Peggy on this one...

I wound up thinking this: That guy is using the cross so I'll like him. That doesn't tell me what he thinks of Jesus, but it does tell me what he thinks of me.

However, concerning what he thinks about Christ, if he felt so strongly that he needed to place the cross in this message, why not make it unambiguous and stand by it instead of using the glow enhanced edges of a bookcase to give the impression of the cross to those who saw it but which he could later deny.

Those who are not Christians would not care about this, but for me the fact that he used the cross and then denied the cross was the most telling thing to come from this ad.

The Cross was there figuratively for Huck, go ask Romney, he can tell you.

That's right. He joked about playing it backwards and hearing "Paul is dead" -- which was a clever (and pre-planned) reaction to his critics -- but the fact is, the cross as a trick of lighting and not an actual cross was a kind of subliminal imagery, putting it in there to trick us with an association of his face and that symbol.

It was premeditated and cold-hearted, a product not of Christian evangelism but calculated mass-media science.

Very Clintonesque.

BINGO! He got called on the cross and then lied about it. Right up there with “I did it but I didn’t inhale.” Must be something in the water in Hope.
