And there’s the rub. . .

We are getting closer to the nomination of Presidential candidates. Nothing is settled, I guess, until the Conventions, but we usually, pretty much, mostly, normally, kinda/sorta know who is going to stay at the top after the first few primaries.

My concern is – can one believe what one hears from a candidate confident that what one hears today is going to be the same thing one hears tomorrow?

Some would say one can never believe a politician – regardless of what they say. Can that be true of those candidates who espouse an evangelical world view?

Candidates “perceive that they can attract votes by making religious appeals,” said John Green, a political science professor at University of Akron and a senior fellow at the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. But “if the past is any guide, once we get beyond the nominations into the fall election, we’ll have a different set of messages.” (ABC News)

Really? Really! Does that mean that a candidate telling me today that he/she is a born-again, Bible believing, regular praying Christian – 0r – a person of “deep faith” who prefers not to discuss the particulars because faith is such a “personal matter,” can be expected to “have a different set of messages” after being nominated?

My soul! What is this Country coming to?

The End (No, no, no – I just mean “of the post” –  unless I mean something different – but then I haven’t been “nominated” for anything.)
