NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)—If the choice for president in 2008 is between Rudi Giuliani and Hillary Clinton, Richard Land says he'll skip that portion of the ballot.
The president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission made the comments March 9 during an appearance on the "Albert Mohler Radio Program," in which he and guest host Russell D. Moore discussed the presidential race.
Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, is leading in polls of Republicans nationwide, while Clinton, the Democratic senator from New York, is leading in Democratic polls.
"Some would stay home, and I would counsel them not to do that," Land said of the prospects of a Giuliani-Clinton presidential race. "They need to go and vote. They can always not vote in that race. I would go and vote, and I would vote for congressmen and I would vote for state senator and state representative, I would vote for U.S. senator, I would vote for governor. But I would not vote in the presidential race."
I saw the same information. This article was meant to be a "hit piece" on social conservatives.
More Republican stealth lies. I am really sick of it and have no use for the character of the people that engage in this rot.
Thank you for the quote and the LINK. Better not to vote for Hillary but still, not voting would never be an option for Democrats - this is more than abortion - this is national security.
I just received an e mail from Dr. Lands secretary. They are now in contact with the Washington Times to correct the damage done by this person who misquoted and misrepresented Dr. Land.
Look for a correction very soon.
