I agree, it's how they portray it. Even liberals will make statements on God.
It's when it becomes obvious a person wants to push their religious views through politics it becomes a problem.
History has taught us clearly when politics and religion mix the outcome is usually controlling and dire..
Sarah's made those kind of statements, that God is for the war, God is for this or that. She was a member of a fairly fundy pentacostal church, just watch the video's of her pastor praying over her. I thought after he got done he would give her a sword to slay all non believers, gay, muslims, etc..
Mike Huckabee is a fundy, but he also seems smart and honest, Sarah doesn't come across as either.
