Romney and McCain, Bush and Putin, & Democrats and Republicans


John McCain and Mitt Romney are engaged in a high-profile spat over the immigration bill. Read about it here.

Read
here about the rapidly diminishing U.S.-Russian relations. As Bush kicks off his European tour, Putin is calling himself the worlds only true democrat while threatening to aim missles at Europe.

The honeymoon is over, if they (Democrats) ever had one that is. This
poll shows that Congress' approval ratings are now lower than they were before Democrats took control in the last election. Bush's approval rating: 35%. Congress: 39%

Finally, read this shocking article from the UK which cites a study showing that 60% of female college graduates nearing 40 years old are childless. Again, shocking I say.

A reader tip from Jethro led me to this article. Hillary explains how "faith" saved her marraige to Bill. Read it here and here. You can also read about some of the things Obama and Edwards had to say about faith. For instance, Edwards tells us that he "prays and sins every day." At least one part of that statement is true. It is interesting to see the Democrats make a concerted effort to be "religious" in this election.

NT - You should add a link to a Fox News article about 'Hillary Clinton: Faith Saved My Marriage'.
Pretty believable, eh!

I think the Democrats have caught on to the 80's and 90's Republican strategy of courting evangelical Christian voters. This is the election that they could do it too, because the major issue the Republicans have been able to grab onto the evangelical vote has been abortion and there is no champion of the rights of the unborn in the Republican camp this issue has been effectively made moot. So it would seem the two parties are on equal footing.

To me the whole thing makes me sick, because a political revolution will not fix the problems of America, it can but affix a band-aid on an arterial laceration. The only thing that will fix America is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that is what evanglicals should be concerned with rather than some political agenda.

(NT, I am not saying we should not vote, just that we should not expect the results of our suffrage to heal our wicked land.)
