Looks like we're down to 2

Obama – faith

McCain – values

Obama – talks openly about his conversion, faith, his moral compass – believes it is important to care for the poor and defenseless - CLIP

yet he thinks the government is the answer to all our problems

But governments should never do for people what they can do for themselves

Essentially a socialist - governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

No private, no individual – chiefly the collective

Decisions all collective and public – little left to individual

History shows that big governments demean people – think Stalin- 20MM

Mao - 40MM

Worst governments were socialist

McCain – rarely mentions his faith, and when he does it sounds forced, even shallow –

CLIP

Yet war hero holds most of the values that Christians hold dear– human life matters, strong defense is crucial to present danger in Islamic supremacists, and government is more a problem than the answer

So what do you do?

Vote for Mr faith or vote for Mr values?

Been the biggest wide-open election of my lifetime

And now I have no idea what to do

Mr Faith – very likeable – hopeful, optimistic

But at the end of the day – worry about the government creep we see – FDR began

Folks looking to Big Daddy to do and provide for them

Very antithesis of nation's founding principles

Squashes initiative, innovation, independence – ability to be all you can be

Last time saw great invention or new technology come from the government

Want it there overnight – send it USPO? Don't think so

I actually think small government is a faith issue

Values the individual – unfettered to make moral decisions for self

Each in the image of God - destiny

So what's it gonna be – faith or values?

I'll probably close my eyes and say Mr. values
