Obama and Clinton friends no more

Tuesday August 7, 2007

Categories: Faith, News, Politics

Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were once the most collegial of colleagues today's NYT reports. Now? They don't talk save for trying to look friendly when the camera is trained on them.

A big deal? Anything unusual? Of course not.

Ironic though considering how much talk there has been about "faith pervading" this presidential race. The old line about Christian political activism "turning a potential mission field into a battlefield" comes to mind, however. When rifts like these are mended perhaps we will know that a real faith-based race has begun.

I'd rather see a 'reality based' political race than a 'faith based' one.

Democrats and the Gospel are incompatible, but only because the Democrats view repentance as a hate crime.

Isn't it interesting that the only hope that comes from Lefty politics comes from making products out of human beings.

Typical of the godless.

This is politics, where nobody has permanent friends or permanent enemies.

Maybe Hillary and Obama are mad at each other right now, but no madder than Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush were in 1980, or JFK and LBJ were in 1960.

If Hillary wins the nomination and offers Obama the #2 spot, he'll take it, and the feud will be over quickly.

I wonder if people like Hillary and Barak are consciously aware that they are ushering in the rise of the Anti-Christ?

George Bush for all of the epithets and insults thrown at him, knows quite well all about good versus evil.

Certainly looking at what Liberal . . . eh-hum excuse me . . . "Progressive" ideology represents, no honest person can possibly believe Leftist politics are on the side of goodness. They've made medical products out of human beings. I'm sure Soylent Green is next.

Abominations seem to literally define "Progressive."

Hi Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Obama.
