It is the great test of our generation and he has led with great moral clarity and firm resolve. He has not wavered, he has not flinched from the hard choices, he was determined and remains determined to make this world a better, safer, freer place. He deserves not only our support but our admiration. That’s why I am honored to introduce to you the President of the United States, George W. Bush. And that's why I am so grateful that McCain is not running on the same ticket as Kerry. ted

Onward G.O.P. Soldiers Published: July 14, 2004 The Bush-Cheney campaign is buttonholing Christian churches nationwide to serve as virtual party precincts in the Republican drive to turn out voters in November. The campaign has sent congregation volunteers marching orders — a schedule of 22 "duties," beginning with the submission of local church membership directories to party headquarters, the better to compare them with voter registration lists. The Bush team maintains that this ham-handed proselytizing is legal and somehow nonpartisan. That is hard to comprehend, given that other "duties" for pro-Bush volunteers include lobbying congregation groups to talk up the Bush-Cheney ticket and producing "voters' guides" on hot issues. Ministers are being pressed to create registration drives and speak out about "all Christians needing to vote." Churches have been a favorite campaign stop for political candidates throughout the nation's history. But this crude initiative crosses the line that separates organized religion from organized political parties. Last month, after Republican workers began soliciting hundreds of "friendly congregations" in the swing state of Pennsylvania, the Internal Revenue Service sent out a blunt warning to political leaders that they could cost churches their tax-exempt status by enlisting them in transparent partisanship. The Bush team's strategy disrespects religion as much as it does democratic ideals. Churchgoers are entitled to a little sanctuary from politicians.

McCain is pro war, though he has been critical of Bush not putting enough troops in. Lack of preparedness and piss-poor planning. McCain will only compliment Bush on this one issue, you won't see him doing so on any other issue like spending, environment, energy, etc. all of which he;s 100% against Bush on. DOn't tell me it's a lie McCain and Kerry are close friends. It's not only true, McCain has come to Kerry's defense against the scurrilous Bush negatauve TV ads whichb have defamed Kerry and completedly distorted his defense record. Shame on Bush for that.
