The God-o-Meter (pronounced Gah-DOM-meter) scientifically measures factors such as rate of God-talk, effectiveness—saying God wants a capital gains tax cut doesn't guarantee a high rating—and other top-secret criteria (Actually, the adjustment criteria are here). Click a candidate's head to get his or her latest God-o-Meter reading and blog post. And check back often. With so much happening on the campaign trail, God-o-Meter is constantly recalibrating!God-o-Meter blogger Dan Gilgoff is Beliefnet's Politics Editor.

I can imagine the creeeeek of the door and the wizened eye peeking out - and spying a young energetic balck guy. The dusty voice suggests the service entrance in the back, but the young man insists he is the presidential candidate. All he hears next is an wheezing "NO!" and the door slams.
Obama went to them and they refused - it will not look good for FoF. He is trying to use a faith based framework, and they said not good enough - they are coming off as greedy, perhaps because they will not benefit from all the dirent and indirect finding their groups were promised a few years ago. He is comfortable talking about God, sex, and Money - and they are afraid of all three.
Obama has effectively slain a dragon that was little more than smoke and dust.
A meeting with FOF would be as monumental as a meeting with Raul Castro.
Dobson was willing to meet with McCain on his terms but not on the Senator's terms. He wanted a photo op and McCain wanted to talk. Who's the Mega-trope?
Obama was willing to meet with Dobson but nothing came of that. Dobson would rather cast stones and lambaste Obama with innuendoes than meet face to face. He really doesn't want to meet with McCain either, so how's the loser and who's the winners?
Dobson is just a mealy mouth radio personality.
I want my money back! What money you ask? The tax money that I am forced to pay while FOF and the John Dobsonite's continue to receive "tax free" status as some type of "religious" organization when in fact everyone with a "brain" can see that they are all about money and politics! They only use "god" when it's convenient; and that is usally when they want to claim "tax free" status. Sure the IRS investigated them under the Bush administration and guess what - they past muster! Our "skull and bones" president would make sure of that since the Dobsonites helped him get elected. These "faith based" tax free snobs make me regurgitate! The Dobsonites have "paid" their way into every state and every election and have unduly enfluenced the "elected" because of their "tax free" money and "religious" power over those who can't think for themselves. I hope that one day "We The People" will see them for the charlatans that they really are!
What the hell is this place? I'm a little confused. I thought this site promoted faith and inspiration.
Oh, I get it now. Not faith in Christ, faith in the Obamanation that causes desolation. Matthew 24:15-16
Bitter, spite-filled posts that misquote Scripture don't "promote faith and inspiration" either, wanker.
"Obamanation" - That's hilarious! Very clever! Too bad you're probably a retard.
