Are you serious?

Read this.

Then read the fine print. For those who do not feel like getting out their magnifying glasses, let me spell it out for you:

"The Christian Coalition is a pro-family, citizen action organization. This voter guide is provided for educational purposes only and is not to be construed as an endorsement of any candidate or party."

I got two words for ya, fine print: YEAH RIGHT.

I don't care who you, the readers, are voting for or why you're voting for them. However, this voter guide can go jump off a cliff. The issues portayed on this guide were clearly picked on an agenda. I'm not saying that all Christians are these staunchly republican propagandists (is that even a word? it is now), but these particular ones make it pretty freakin' obvious. Nothing is mentioned about the war (banning gays from the military does NOT count as mentioning the war), the entire story about taxes, laws regarding the actual allowance of getting an abortion in the first place, gay marriage (that would have just been TOO obvious, now wouldn't it), and about a million other things that I can't think of because I don't know as much about politics as this post would have had you think until just now.

Two things... one I probably should mention anyway, and one that probably does not matter a whole lot:

1. I am a Christian.
2. I am voting for Obama.

So I'm sure the writers of this ever so informative Voter Guide would probably like to throw me off the top of a very tall building if they ever read this. Or pray for me until I get ~saved~ from voting Democrat. But don't even lie about not construing an endorsement when you clearly chose all the obvious Christian-right issues that are supported by the Republican candidate to "educate" voters about who to choose on November 4th.

I don't agree with everything McCain supports, and I don't agree with everything Obama supports. But I can vote for whoever I think is going to do a better job by doing my own non-biased research on each candidate.

My name is Tray Dawg and I approve this message!
