The 2008 election is already emerging as a full faith thing - if you think you are that the rhetoric coming out of some candidate camps this campaign season.

Democratic candidates are trying for the presidency, in particular, "reborn" in the media spotlight was born. This seems to be the direct result of the success of "values voters" to vote are. These "values voters" are sincere Americans who believe strongly that public policy should reflect the traditionalValues such as love of God, love of family and love of country.

But something interesting seems to happen on the way to call candidates altar. As the President of Prison Fellowship Ministries, said Mark Earley, something is wrong when candidates talk about God to kill you in one breath, and God's children through abortion in the next.

In a recent article, Earley said, "The problem is that all this" talk with God misses the point: what Christians want - orwant - a candidate that does not affect their morale and culture, their shares only religious vocabulary. "

Earley recognizes the ideological disconnect that occurs when candidates speak solemnly about religious faith, then pour Planned Parenthood event to lend their support for free abortion on demand note.

"It 's hard to imagine positions contrary to the very motives of evangelical voters who are trying to court," said Earley. "Protection of lifeof unborn children is the cornerstone of politically active Christians in the last thirty years. "

The mainstream media seem willing, their imprimatur to liberal candidates, the name of the Almighty - until all the candidates support Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court's tragic decision, which led to over 47 million deaths in loans. Press for an eleventh commandment is always at stake - "Thou shalt not offend Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortionProcess. "

For too long the Democratic Party held hostage by interest primarily as a radical pro-abortion. It is no coincidence that Democratic presidential candidates to take extreme abortion positions. The votes of Democrats for Life are routinely stifled at the national level - although there are many basic democratic and file who do not believe that abortion is a good thing.

Recently there has been a movement for democratic party leaders have softened theirRhetoric on abortion. Democrats call themselves pro-life have also been elected to Congress. However, when it comes to the highest office in the country comes, the door moves to bring a sign with the words "Pro-abortion Democrats only."

Democrats may try, you drag an "Extreme Makeover Edition religion." But while party leaders hostile to the interests in favor of life ... as long as it remains the standard bearer for the party presidential election is abortion ... evangelical Christian leaders haveThe reasons to be skeptical. No matter what party bigwigs want to forget the fact that the Christian religion on a View Pro-life world is based. And endorsements of abortion have no place in a religion, love of neighbor as yourself who preaches. "Thou shalt not kill" is a slogan that can be like an old campaign stickers will be thrown.
