So much for bringing us together, Democrats and Republicans, in a new politics of bipartisanship. What Barack Obama advocated earlier in his presidential campaign and throughout the primaries is now officially a thing of the past. With his acceptance speech last night, Obama has become a standard liberal politician who advocates the standard liberal agenda.

After a week of partisan thunder, a conservative Republican will bring a quiet close to the Democratic National Convention. Evangelical pastor Joel C. Hunter is scheduled to give the benediction on the gathering’s final night, a sign of the party’s determination not to cede an important voting bloc to the GOP this fall.

Putting your personal dreams aside -- whether it is for your family or a political party -- can cost dearly. You ache with the pain of making that choice. Sen.

the McCain campaign issued the following statement from Tucker Bounds, McCain 2008 spokesman, on Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention: "Tonight, Americans witnessed a misleading speech that was so fundamentally at odds with the meager record of Barack Obama.

John McCain tapped little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate on Friday in a startling selection on the eve of the Republican National Convention.

Barack Hussein Obama, a freshman senator who defeated the first family of Democratic Party politics with a call for a fundamentally new course in politics, was nominated by his party on Wednesday to be the 44th president of the United States.

From the Christian Post, there are those like pro-life Donald Miller who left the Republican Party because of that party's lack of action on life issues. "Democrats are "reaching out to us, and I'm not naive as to why — they want our votes," said Miller, who gave a two-minute prayer to close Monday's convention session. "But they won't get them and keep them unless..."

A small but hearty group of pro-life Democrats think they’ve figured out a way for their staunchly pro-choice party to capture more of the elusive values vote: abortion-reduction legislation. The legislation — which expands government programs for pregnant women and children — has great potential, said Vincent Miller, an associate professor of theology at Georgetown University.
