Tea Party Express Wants Rubio to Ride Into VP Slot
Mitt Romney’s campaign advisers may still be busy vetting their short list of vice presidential candidates, but on Wednesday leaders of the Tea Party Express announced they would like to see Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as Romney’s running mate on the GOP ticket.
“It is not a big surprise that Marco Rubio is the favorite candidate of the tea party for the vice-presidential nod,” said Tea Party Express chairwoman Amy Kremer. “He ran as a strong fiscal conservative, and he has delivered with his record in the U.S. Senate for the last two years. The only surprise is that he led […]
Obama Absence at NAACP Convention Raises Eyebrows
In what is expected to be one of the closest presidential elections in history, some Obama supporters are scratching their heads over why President Obama is not addressing the NAACP convention in Houston this year, instead dispatching Vice President Biden.
Derek McCoy, a spokesman for the NAACP confirmed in an email response to The Christian Post that President Obama had not accepted the group’s invitation. However, it is being reported that a spot is being held open if he were to suddenly change his mind at the last minute, but that seems unlikely now.
On Wednesday, the White House told several news […]
Dr. James Dobson, Ryan Dobson on How They Are ‘Building a Family Legacy’
Yesterday I wrote Part 1 of a series on Dr. James Dobson’s “Building a Family Legacy” conference that was held the last two weekends in June in San Diego.
The entire article can be read here.
The experience being there to witness the filming was a real blessings and I especially want to thank Nancy Lovell and Julie Fairchild (and Michael and Monique) of Lovell-Fairchild for their hospitality in hosting my son and I during our trip to the West Coast.
But before penning the first part I wanted to revisit some of the points I discussed with Ryan Dobson and Joey […]
Evangelist Wrong to Encourage Christians to Write In ‘Jesus’ for President
On Monday one of my other colleagues at The Christian Post, Alex Murashko, wrote a story on Internet evangelist Bill Keller’s campaign to get Christians to write in “Jesus” for president this year. That is certainly an insult to our Lord and Savior.
I discovered that Alex was writing the story during our early morning intranet chat between reporters and editors. I immediately responded to Alex by writing the following sentence:
“Why would Jesus want to be President of the United States? He is already God over the entire Universe.”
Here is the link to the story.
My friend thought my quote would […]
Napp Nazworth’s Interview with Author Amy Black on Approaching Politics with Humility, Grace and Reason
My colleague at The Christian Post, Napp Nazworth, does a remarkable job interviewing authors and professors who have written books on religious and political issues. Partly because Napp is not only an outstanding journalist, but also has a Ph.D. in Political Science. Napp loves to dig down into the weeds on policy issues and for this reason consistently writes great articles.
On Monday CP published Napp’s interview with Professor Amy Black of Wheaton College, author of Honoring God in Red or Blue: Approaching Politics with Humility, Grace and Reason.
Napp’s interview with Dr. Black serves as a reminder how all of us […]
Romney Narrows VP List; Wife Says Female Name May Surface
Beth Myers may not be a household name to most Americans, but around the Romney kitchen table she is front and center. The reason: she is the person charged with finalizing the list of potential vice presidential nominees and insiders say the list is getting shorter by the day.
Political analysts and insiders close to the Romney campaign say some of the names penciled in toward the top of the list include former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.) and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Others names still being knocked around are Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and […]
