I just heard part of Hillary's comments on a replay on C-Span, sounds like she's preaching a sermon. President Bush is routinely bashed on Yahoo for his belief in the Lord, why the double standard? And why are Liberals upset about this?

Fox News Watcher, churches don't belong to any of us, that isn't the point. It's just interesting that there is no out cry from the left when they are used by Democratic Politicians. You can't have it both ways.

Felix, I asked a reasonable question. Thank you for your answer, it was exactly what I expected.

Just to clarify, I was not using this as a forum and I am not condemning anyone for their answer. I just find it very odd that one minute Christians are being slammed & Bush is slammed for his beliefs. I just don't think you can have this both ways that's all. As far as this being a celebration of Civil Rights, that's fine, but need it be in a church? I didn't attack anyone and am tired of being attacked.

Clinton and Obama were giving speeches to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the march of Selma, Alabama, which is a pivotal event in the civil rights movement. If their speeches had religious overtones, perhaps that's because they were speaking in churches during Sunday services. I must question the assertion that Bush is bashed for his belief in the Lord--I have not heard such criticism and I don't personally care what his own religious beliefs are. For Bush, fundamentalist churches are the heart of his power base, and he believes in handing over the money you and I pay in taxes to those supporters--he calls it the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. Our country was founded on a tradition of separation between church and state but he is tearing down that wall to pay back his political cronies like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. In my mind, that's a lot different from Clinton or Obama making a speech at a church.

That's because it was covered on the right wing C-Span media.
You mean like the double standard of Nixon when he was pardoned by another right wing fascist for his criminal activity?
You mean like the double standards when Reagan and daddy Bush were pardoned for selling arms illegally to Iran to use against Iraq?
Flush your head out brown-nose.
Additional Comments> And I gave you a reasonable answer...... Just not the kind you wanted. If you expected it.... why did you bother asking it? Do you think you can manipulate thinking people into buying your barf?
You're not asking a question, you're just looking for moral support from some of your butt buddies.

Time and time again, the conservatives shove their two-bit logic and stuff it with tabloid suggestion. It won't work.
There is so much Republican influence in the Church that the Democrats are only right to challenge it. What makes you think the Church only belongs to Conservatives? And if Obama is a leftist then I'm Bill Clintons lovechild

Politicians have traditional reached out to churches, including Bush. Why not? No one bashes Bush for his religion except when he uses it to drag the US into war and kill people of other religions, or when he corrals the Christian right and lie to them about donating $billions to their sect so he can get votes. He's a disappointment. Read about that. Hopefully, he will repent his sins one day.

Good question. I saw booths candidates preaching Gods spells in Churches today. I believe they need the vote of some religious fundamentalism how are in the majority Republicans.
Making politics in a Church is legal?

Very "convenient" of them to put on the mantle of Chrisianity in their doomed quests for the Presidency. These are the liberals who want absolute separation of church and state. In fact, Obama is an athiest.

She sounds like she is preaching? That doesn't mean that she is preaching or trying to expound her churches belief (e.g. views on homosexuality) on people who don't follow similiar doctrine.
The difference between them is that they leave their church out of their politics and make the decision based on what is best for the people.

to a liberal President Bush can do no right and Liberals can do no wrong.
Clinton is the biggest threat this nation has ever faced, her husband has damaged this country beyond repair, and Obama is close behind.
