So are they making churches republican campaign headquarters?

[LoganW]

I'm sure everyone has heard the news of "faith based" organizations getting $1B in tax payer money.

So let's see here....

* Church supports republicans = republicans see to it they get a HUGE chunk of tax payer money. Pay back for support with tax payer money, essentially.

* Church becomes republican campaign headquarters in election years. Not only that - they campaign with the TAX PAYER MONEY they were given.

Think about the millions they have in captive audiences. Think about the republicans essentially paying off churches to have the preacher make sure those audience members know who to vote for.... Right after he got his nice tax payer provided check.

Does anyone else see a problem with this?

1. Yes

It's not fair for the democratic challenger because the republican is getting money from tax payers. I don't think democratic citizen's would like knowing their paying for a republican canidate they voted against. If churches are going to do that that church should be taxed because they are getting involved with the government. If my church ever did that I'd expect them to be taxed too.

3. What unions?

They've already destroyed most of them.

4. Public employee unions are still significant

faith based funding effectively outsources their jobs
