Are Obama and Huckabee playing us like a fiddle?

Election still 9 months away and I feel jaded

Are we all tools being manipulated by the Presidential candidates

Manipulated like rats herded into a maze

Starting to feel that way – SC today, FL Tuesday

Obama's operatives passing out flyers in SC emphasizing that he is a committed Christian but not using that same tactic in NY

Why is that?

CLIP of Obama

Huckabee making snide comments about Romney's Mormonism to slip in the element of fear and doubt

CLIP of Huckabee

Why is that?

Hillary, McCain, Romney – all going to great lengths to use their faith to convince me to vote for them – as if somehow I were a dog in need of a master

CLIP of Romney or others

Here's an idea – just be honest

Tell me about your faith, tell me what's important to you, show me who you are

Don't use your faith – live it

Don't try to manipulate me – show me

Just be honest – I for one will be grateful



Obama – Belief net and Washington Post

I believe in the power of prayer – Instrument of God's will – Felt God's Spirit beckoning me – guided by my faith

Muslim dad and stepdad – rumors of Islam

I'm a positive guy – can't get over 7 candidates

Not sure I can trust any of them

How jaded I am – is that normal?

Faith detector – genuine or not

is it OK to use faith to manipulate voters – litmus test

Sincere? Who's most genuine?
