I believe that most Americans will prefer someone who prays to a godless communist. Santorum can and will beat Obama. Remember, some of the most liberal voters of various ethnicities are nevertheless religious.
“most Americans will prefer someone who prays to a godless communist.”
Hope that you are right. But, remember that Obama lies somewhat well. He says that he prays and reads the bible every morning. He says that he is a follower of Christ and that Christ would want us to have high taxes to take care of the poor.
I seriously know a lot of Christians who believe that Obama is a Christian. (I live in liberal Seattle).
So, if we are supporting Santorum just because he is an upstanding Christian and moral man, that may not be enough. The middle voters who don’t pay that much attention will only here: Santorum believes that Satan has taken over the country and the thinks birth control is immoral and unhealthy. (The O machine has quotes for devastating ads against Santorum).
Being a nice, Christian guy doesn’t get you elected.
You say that most people want a guy who prays.
You know, I hope that you are right. Maybe we will get a good Christian as our president.
But, in the bigger population centers faith in God is basically gone.
Here in Washington state years ago a bunch of naive Christians decided to put partial birth abortion on the ballot for a public vote. Some of us said: don’t do that because we haven’t raised the money to win. We needed more than $100,000 and they had nothing. Christian said, oh, we can do a garage sales.
So, anyway the got the signatures and put it up for vote. This was a moral, Christian and right bill.
It got voted down by huge margins because people don’t necessarily vote for the moral thing. The other side lied and people believed the lies.
In the same way, I am afraid that nice guy in the vests is going get creamed by the O machine.
