Top Three Election Issues For Active Christians

While it may appear in the media that gender, race, and teen pregnancy are the top issues in the 2008 presidential election, a new poll by Christianity Today International’s NationalChristianPoll.com says Active Christians* are still concerned about economy and national security.

Active Christians registered their three top election issues for both presidential candidates in the recent poll. Healthcare (78%), economy 77%, and war (76%) are the top issues for those who will vote for Obama, while abortion (73%), moral issues (70%), and terrorism (68%) top the issues for those who will vote for McCain.

McCain’s pick for running mate skewed more favorably than Obama’s pick. The results also show nearly two-thirds (65%) of Active Christians* voting for John McCain view him more favorably after choosing Sarah Palin. About half (53%) of Active Christians voting for Barack Obama view him more favorably after choosing Joe Biden.

Obama is Radically Pro-Abortion, Radically Pro-Homosexual

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is the most pro-abortion and pro-homosexual candidate ever to receive a major party’s nomination, Republicans For Family Values (www.rffv.org) founder Peter LaBarbera said today.

RFFV were at the GOP convention to educate Republicans and the media on Obama’s extreme record on the two most important moral crises facing our nation: the killing of millions of innocent, unborn babies; and the campaign to use government to force Americans to support (and subsidize) homosexual behavior against their conscience.

“While pro-life advocates have done an outstanding job alerting the nation to Obama’s radical abortion record — he opposes banning heinous partial-birth abortions and opposed an Illinois bill recognizing human rights for babies ‘born alive’ after botched abortions — Obama’s extreme pro- homosexual record remains largely hidden from the public.”

The following are some examples of Obama’s pro-homosexual advocacy:

• Despite repeatedly professing his belief in traditional marriage, Obama’s stated public policies invariably promote the Homosexual Lobby’s “gay marriage” agenda. In other words, he claims to support marriage while simultaneously undermining it;

• For example, Obama promises to completely repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) signed into law by Bill Clinton. If DOMA were to be repealed, states could be forced to recognize out-of-state “same-sex marriages” against their will. (Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged to repeal only part of DOMA.);

• Obama opposes the California marriage protection amendment (Prop 8), which would simply reinstate marriage as solely between a man and a woman – the very thing that the Illinois Senator SAYS he supports;

• Obama congratulated San Francisco Democratic homosexual activists on “getting married” – again showing his hypocrisy on marriage, and his old-politics habit of trying to appeal to both sides of this and other controversial issues at the same time;

• Obama pledged to homosexual activists to use the White House bully pulpit to advocate for homosexual adoption of children – thus creating the potentially absurd spectacle of a U.S. President using the moral authority and prestige of the office to push for placing children in same-sex households that are motherless or fatherless by design;

• Obama distorts the Bible to justify his support of homosexuality and even used Jesus Christ’s Sermon on the Mount to support same-sex unions.
