Hayworth and McCain: Where's the Faith?

True Christianity is not a 'religion.' It is a very personal relationship with a living, loving Saviour, Jesus Christ, the One and Only Son of God, who shed HIS blood and died on a cruel cross so that anyone who places their faith and trust in Him, and HIM ALONE, can and wil be saved from eternal damnation. I want my candidates to know where they came from, to know they are committed to Jesus Christ, and to know where they are going when they die! I want them to live by GOD's CODE as set forth in HIS HOLY BIBLE!!! ANY QUESTIONS?

When I heard the new J.D. Hayworth campaign radio ad for the first time, I felt like I had worms in my underwear. Whereas Hayworth's opponent, John McCain, usually stonewalls when asked about his faith, Hayworth instead shines forth with bravado in an ad that declares him “a good Christian,” whatever that may be. How did we land at a place in American public life where one's faith is either something to be avoided altogether or something to be wielded like a sword and shield? Neither approach is one of which we should be proud.

On his rare attempts...
