Bush's campaign and how he will use this as a "hot topic" to run on. What a load of crap:eyes: Guess the "fundies" think they have the "dibs" on morality:silly:

Nevertheless, pitiful that they can't put the issues that are breaking the backs of Americans on the table...

NASHVILLE (BP)--The head of the Southern Baptist Convention's moral concerns and public policy entity believes the 2004 election may be one of the most pivotal elections in U.S. history. Thus, Richard Land told the SBC's Executive Committee, he is spearheading a voter education and registration drive to encourage Americans to vote their values, not their pocketbook or their political party.

"I believe this election will be one of the most critical elections not just in my lifetime ...

In underscoring the importance of the upcoming election, Land announced to the Executive Committee the launch of a far-reaching initiative, iVoteValues.com, to educate voters and register new voters. The initiative, which seeks to "promote awareness of the immediate and long-term importance of values-based voting," will encourage people to register to vote and to make sure their friends and family members are registered to vote.

The Internet site eventually will offer voters a side-by-side comparison of the major presidential candidates' values, gleaned from their statements on key issues and their political party's platforms. Among the issues that will be covered are abortion, fetal stem cell research, same-sex "marriage," the Pledge of Allegiance and the public display of the Ten Commandments.

"We must make our voices heard. We must never try to tell people how to vote, but we should tell them that the Lord wants to talk to them about how they're going to vote, and the Lord is going to talk to them someday about how they voted," Land said

As someone who was raised in a Baptist Church, I find this extremely troubling. There ARE those of us who DO vote Democratic. I see why Jimmy Carter left the southern baptist church.
