Cain’s Abortion Misstep
Herman Cain is quickly learning that mistakes need to be rare, if not nonexistent, especially when it comes to explaining your position on key issues – and in GOP circles, abortion is a real “key” issue.
Cain appeared on CNN Wednesday night and in an interview with Piers Morgan, made a statement on abortion that seemed to contradict his previous, pro-life position.
“I believe that life begins at conception. And abortion – under no circumstances,” said Cain. However, Morgan proceeded to ask Cain it he would support an exception for rape and incest.
“The government shouldn’t be trying to tell people everything to […]
Why Authors Need to Meet and Talk with Other Authors
Since I signed with my literary and management agency in the spring of the year, I haven’t had a ton of interaction with them. Mainly because they told me the most important task a writer should focus on is writing and all I should focus on was completing my memoir. It was great advice.
This weekend my agency hosted a retreat with all of their signed authors on a farm in southern Kentucky. I didn’t know what to expect, but the opportunity to meet and fellowship with other Christian writers was enticement enough to attend. I felt honored to be one […]
Obama Team Accuses Romney of Flip-Flopping on Issues
Many people say they would like to see a more bipartisan approach to politics. They may now get their wish. It’s not just his fellow GOP presidential hopefuls that are taking jabs at Mitt Romney, but Obama and his team of attack dogs have hopped on the bandwagon too.
Wednesday the Obama presidential campaign team accused Romney of changing directions on several issues including taxes, healthcare and trade agreements with China, and raising red flags about how the former Massachusetts governor would perform in the White House.
David Axelrod, a well-known Obama strategist asked, “If you are willing to change positions on […]
Bachmann Says ‘Devil is in the Details’ in Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan
Rep. Michele Bachmann, who is seeking to pull her recent poll numbers in the Republican presidential primary back into double digits, levied the toughest criticism toward businessman Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan in the Bloomberg GOP presidential debate Tuesday, saying it could be the devil’s doings.
“When you take the 9-9-9 plan and you turn it upside down, the devil is in the details,” Bachmann said in New Hampshire Tuesday.
Bachmann was referring to the fact that if 9-9-9 is turned upside down, it becomes 6-6-6, the numbers most often associated with Satan and the mark of the beast.
Cain’s single-digit numerical plan […]
Interview with Pastor Robert Jeffress on ‘Cult’ Comments
Being the Political Editor for The Christian Post many times brings me in contact with the day’s leading newsmakers when it involves national political issues, especially when they cross over into the Christian arena.
If you have paid the least bit of attention to the news the past several days you’ve seen stories or news clips about the comments that Dr. Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas made at the Values Voter Summit in Washington last Friday regarding whether The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, as they are more commonly called.
As an evangelical Christian who […]
Can Tea Party Supporters and Independents Agree on Herman Cain?
Although it’s well within the poll’s four-point margin-of-error, businessman and GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain is atop the leader board in the latest American Research Group poll of likely Republican South Carolina voters, coming in at 26 percent and closely followed by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 25 percent.
Surprisingly, Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s 15 percent in this southern state puts him at a distant third. None of the other candidates scored in double digits and 12 percent of those polled were undecided.
But the real surprise in the poll is that both Independent voters and those who consider themselves Tea […]
