Obama's Religion

Submitted by Tim Grant, Sep 8, 2008 21:26

I hope that as you cast the first stone, many of you didn't wait to see the other side. Check out the Republican Vice-President's nominee's stand and her religious beliefs. Obama got raked over the coals for things that a Minister spoke of. She will never be able to separate church and state. Remember at the convention, I believe she talked about our soldiers as being on a mission from God. I hope that the Republican Party can't be serious or they are banking on Americans as being stupid.
