Full Page Ad by Billy Graham in Miami Herald today

Urging voters to support the nation of Israel, sanctity of life and the biblical definition of marriage between an man and a woman. "Vote for biblical values this November 6 and pray that America will remain one nation under God."

Guess separation of Church and State is not a concept Rev. Graham believes in- never mind the rest...

Sigh.

that Church's that do this do not have to pay taxes! The minute a Church starts getting into politics like this they should lose their tax exemption!

But~ how will this affect the LGBT people?

They already know the routine and know that by voting republican, they are voting against their own interests.

There is also a very large Cuban population in Miami. I don't think they are too impressed with Romney.

With his b/s on immigration, again, the people would be voting against their own interests.

Nothing happens.

All that hate for nothing more than a ton of money that I'm sure is of no real value to someone as righteous as you!

it's a strange place to run that ad. Cubans are not evangelical. Yes, hard core cuban republicans agree with that, but they don't relate to Billy Graham.

Rich Cubans who got bought off by granddaddy Reagan will vote republican every time.

And moronic Evangelical nuts who think Ayn Rand is a good Christian will vote republican every time.

If the tax code is revamped, exemptions for blatant political activist churches MUST end.

Honestly...do they really think that will help him get elected? With people who otherwise would have voted for Obama? That's not going to change any votes, in fact, I bet it will suppress Republicans who are more middle-of-the-road, and it's not going to turn any independents toward Rmoney either.
