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. A former political correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, he is author of The Jesus Machine: How James Dobson, Focus on the Family, and Evangelical America are Winning the Culture War.

I just heard a wonderful comment, Jesus was a community organizer, Pilot was a governor. Maybe God really isn't a republican.
I absolutely love the previous comment. Perhaps Palin doesn't know the "will of God" as well as she thinks she does.
Those who pray for the sword are the same as those who live by the sword. Let us beat the swords into plowshares and turn the fallow fields so that we can feed our enemies, not destroy them.
Those evangelicals who follow the path of war, are praying to the god of their hearts and not to the God Of Peace, Jesus.
If you are shockproof, Google "Zombietime" and click on "Up Your Alley Fair" (uncensored version) to find out Gaydom's fast-moving goal: to quietly sneak such depravity on to EVERY Main St. on earth while most folks stay asleep and do nothing! Hugh
"Render unto Ceaser the things that are Ceaser's" Jesus preached the separation of church and state.
America has more active religious participation than any other developed country and has (until recently) maintained the greatest separation between church and state. It was working for us.
Jesus was not a Community organizer. Hitler and Stalin were.
I can easily imagine Hitler and Stalin performing an abortion...for some reason I can't picture Jesus doing that.
This bit about God and the Repuplican Party as inseparable lovers, and if one votes Democrat s/he couldn't possibly be Christian is for the birds! It reeks of egotism, pride, human predjudice, and superiority -- all things we as Evangelicals claim to NOT practice!
The Lord Jesus Christ is not Republican, Democrat, OR any other political persuasion! He's God Almighty.
Yes -- BY ALL MEANS vote your Christian convictions. But I do have to say that I am personally ASHAMED of what many of my supposed Evangelical Brothers and Sisters have said, and how HATEFUL their writing and behaviour has been! I cannot find Jesus Christ in much of their rhetoric.
The United States is mentioned NOWHERE in Scripture. Americans are NOT God's chosen people above all others and He thinks no more highly of us than He does an uneducated slave in an underdeveloped country!
