CCN (Crazy Cal News) - United States - In The Pew Forum , Eve Conant writes, in the article In Search of a Political Savior,
The country's leading conservative Christians convened in Lynchburg, Va., last week to bury the Rev. Jerry Falwell, the televangelist who, decades ago, fused politics and religion and helped define the GOP as the party of the faithful. Now, as the mourners straggled out of the church, some wondered aloud about the 2008 presidential election. Did any of the 10 Republican candidates deserve their coveted blessing?
Christians are ablaze in their search to find a candidate who supports death for abortionists, lynching Mormons, burning gays, and tarring and feathering anyone who doesn't support Dicktatur Bush.
"Where will we find a candidate like this," one Christian lamented, "Now that Jerry Falwell is dead?"
The front runner is Rudy Giuliani, but his divorces cast doubt in the minds of these good, Bush supporting Christians. McCain is next, but he denounced them as "agents of intolerance" back in 2000. They would like Dick Cheney as the front runner, but he posed with pictures with his gay daughter. Mitt Romney looks presidential and says all the right things, but many evangelicals say his rightward drift on the issues smacks of political opportunism, besides the fact that he never answers a question.
"We just can't seem to find a good ol' boy who fits all of the qualifications for our candidate," said Richard Viguerie. "I can't believe so many politicians actually have faults. People just don't seem to care what their political leaders believe anymore. They seem to care more about what the leader will do in office than what the leader believes. It's blasphemy, I tell you! It's heresy!"
Me? I'll vote for Ron Paul, thank you.
