    but they're 'swift boating' him the likes we'll never again see. i don't care if you don't like him or his values or his voting record or his stand on things. JUST JUDGE HIM ON THE TRUTH and what's important. don't judge him because your next door neighbor says his mother-in-law said her sister's friend's father said obama doesn't wear a lapel pin because he's a pacifist transgender communistic, bordering on socialistic jungian vegan bottoming from the top unitarian.

    This might hurt his popularity:

    "Reaching out to evangelical voters, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is announcing plans that would expand President Bush's program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and — in a move sure to cause controversy — support their ability to hire and fire based on faith."

    in defense of "faith based initiatives..."

    If you looked at who started the initiatives in the Bush administration, they were genuinely nice Flanders types who were interested in helping the poor, educating kids, and healing the sick. They tried to start a non-denominational faith-based system for everybody, even though a lot of them were evangelicals.

    Then Karl Rove got in the mix. Decided to make them focus ALL their energies on smear campaigns about how they were discriminated against because they were Christians... even though none of them had.

    The problem is not the faith-based initiatives, its the politicalization of faith-based initiatives.
