My Southern Baptist pastor in Wichita Falls preached that
that he was sure Jesus heard remarks he didn't like or agree with growing up in synagogue in Nazareth. He didn't quit his synagogue. His implication was clear, why was everyone making such a big deal about Obama staying at his home church?
This is in a small city in Texas, the church of 500 is predominately Republican, and would be considered to be a conservative church.
I was so happy to hear my own Pastor tell people to get over it.
Our county convention split 15 delegates Obama, 14 delegates for Clinton after she had a 20 margin in the primary. We were better organized so a higher percentage of precinct elected delegates showed up for Obama than Clinton. The County convention lasted almost 8 hours. I did not hear a single delegate say they would not vote for the eventual candidate.
Math indicates that is Obama.
The Obama supporters that I talked to male, female, black, white, Asian, American Indian, all said they would vote for the eventual candidate. The Clinton supporters said the same.

SO WHAT SAY YOU ON DU, WILL YOU SUPPORT THE NOMINEE even if it is not your 1st choice?
The alternative is 4 more years of MCBush Republican control of our lives.
Think about it before you answer.

peace

1. I ALWAYS support the Democratic Candidate.
Period.

I am almost positive Obama will win the nomination, but even if he doesn't, I will vote for the Democratic nominee. We MUST UNITE and vote together, or America will suffer the consequences.
