Add to it the (unfortunately) usual mud-slinging over some of the California propositions, and I'm ready for this election to be over. The fear and outright hatred espoused by Prop 8 supporters is decidedly un-Christian no matter how you look at it. I thought churches were supposed to be separate from politics by law, but the LDS, Catholic churches, and various mega-churches are pouring money and energy in to support 8. I guess it's "love your neighbor" unless they're not like you.
Enough already. Get out there and vote for Obama, and vote no on California's Prop 8.

Yay on both counts!
Am I piercing your heart?
The word of God is like a two edge sword!
Jesus is Lord!
I'm a married, white, male Christian, and I approve of the above yay!
Double yay! Oddly, the Capcha below my comment box has the word Ululate in it. When I think about this issue, I want to Ululate: A long, loud, mournful cry or howl.
As you saw, Maria took Ethan and Sam out into the stormy rain in Walnut Creek today with a few intrepid "No on 8" people to try to counter the deluge of "Yes on 8" signs being waved by people all up and down Ygnacio Valley Blvd. It makes me sad and angry to see all these people so eager to codify discrimination.
Prop H8: Because some people are less equal than others.
