Jerry Falwell: A reason not to vote Republican?
A reason not to vote for McCain or Romney?My condolences to the Jerry Falwell family. Mr. Falwell, I assume, was a man that tried to stand for his beliefs, and that is to be commended.
Unfortunately, however, Mr. Falwell's beliefs were out of touch with a majority of Americans. The bible does not rule America, and the fact that Mr. Falwell tried to judge America by the bible was just plain wrong.
Thus, I am saddened to see Republicans, particularly John McCain and Mitt Romney, supporting the bible-thumping minister. Quite simply, Mr. Falwell was too religious to be such a central focus of the Republican party - for it was this same type of fascist-religionism, or rebellion against it, that ultimately created the U.S. in the first place.
Wake up Republicans!!!!! If you want to represent America, you MUST look beyond religion. If not, then rest in peace, because if you don't wake up your party is dead.
