Nows the time for all you pro abortion (voting to kill babies that are born alive after abortions) Christians to step up to the plate and get you some yard signs. Be sure to get the "Barack Merchandise" - VISA MASTERCARD Accepted.



Obama campaign rolls out new 'faith merchandise'
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/20 ... rchandise/

The Obama campaign is preparing rolling out a new line of “faith merchandise” – the latest move in an ambitious effort to win over religious voters.

“Check out the Believers for Barack, Pro-Family Pro-Obama, and Catholics for Obama buttons, bumper stickers and signs….” says Obama Deputy Director of Religious Affairs Paul Monteiro in an e-mail obtained by the Beliefnet Web site.

“Believers for Barack rally signs and bumper stickers, along with all Pro-Family Pro-Obama merchandise, are appropriate for people of all faith backgrounds. We'll soon be rolling out merchandise for other religious groups and denominations, but I wanted to get this out to you without delay,” he adds.

smart campaining if you ask me. The republicans play the religious card, why not the democrats?

[Dr. Ron]

The big problem is the dems don't know how to use that card.....they will screw it up!!!!!

Because they are terrible at it. If the liberals who are saying "Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor" had actually ever cracked open a Bible in their lives, it might carry a bit more weight.

Is it smart? Here's a guy who has invoked countless images, either visually or through references of his own, that paint him as a savior or messiah of sorts. He was getting away with it somewhat until his Berlin speech, then less after the Saddleback meeting, and then even until the DNC, and since then he's largely abandoned it. Until now. I think it is a response to McCain's resurgence and less a real appeal to believers. And, it is generic, not really appealing to Christians per se. It has a risk of being tasteless to the Republican base, who had before been largely silent or begrudging about McCain and who are, since Palin, charged up. Now, with every single tactic he employs to "appeal" to "values voters", especially in religious terms, he comes across as insulting. With the whole Jesus/Pontius Pilate thing, and I know he didn't say it but people speaking for his campaign did, I think it was quite silly. I think, as much as anything, he's playing this hand for his own base. I think they'll think it is silly, too, except among the real kool-aid drinkers who will lap it up as a demonstration both that he is still in competition for those voters and that he is not going to yield what he thought was a moral high ground.

It rings hollow, though.

At the union meeting I attended last night one guy asked where the Obama yard signs were. He says we always have plenty of yard signs and bumper stickers but not this election cycle. The president said because the Obama campaign is charging for the yard signs and bumper stickers. The stickers are $5 per and the signs $10 per. WOW! Can you believe that?
