The Long Primary Season

I have always hated politics. Even though politics controls everything, I find it mean spirited and boring. Therefore, the less news coverage it gets, the better. And the shorter the campaigns the better.

HOWEVER, I am beginning to see an advantage to long campaigns and long primary seasons, just as there is an advantage to a long courtship. The longer they go on, the more you find out. Good, bad, and ugly, the more you find out.

That was certainly true of the democratic primary race. I'm sure John McCain just sat back watching Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama slug it out.

He needed to do no campaigning whatsoever while they dragged each other through the mud and the muck.

Barack Obama - The Anti-Christ?

I have seen comments around the internet that insist Barack Obama is a Muslim in sheep's clothing. Only the Lord knows Mr. Obama's heart for certain, but the commentators seem to think that once a Muslim, always a Muslim.

In that case, why are there missionaries to Muslim peoples?

I don't know how "Muslim" Mr. Obama's upbringing was, and I don't know how genuine his "Christianity" is, although I kind of can guess from his stance on many volatile social issues, but those who denounce every news story with a parrot-like "But he's a Muslim" only make themselves look foolish.
