Commenting on the "incredible" media bias this election year, evangelical Pastor Franklin Graham said the "corruption" in both political parties is "unbelieveable" and the media, "along with many politicians from both parties, doesn't want any of this to change."
"Isn't the media bias incredible -- especially relating to political candidates?" said Rev. Graham in an Oct. 24 post on Facebook. "Geraldo Rivera said last night that it’s like nothing he’s ever seen."
"They spin story after story against the candidates they don’t like and in favor of the candidates they support," he said. "I hope and pray that Christians are not deceived by the media's bias, but will give prayerful consideration as they go to the polls and vote."
"Our political system in this country is broken," said Rev. Graham. "The corruption is in both parties and is unbelievable. The media, along with many politicians from both parties, doesn’t want any of this to change."
"As I went to all 50 states this year and stood on the capitol steps with Christians from every state, we prayed and confessed our sins to God," he said. "We asked His forgiveness and asked Him to heal this land. My prayer is that you will continue to pray, and that you will vote."
Source: Facebook "America needs the Christian voice at the ballot box," said Rev. Graham. "We can’t be silent. The church needs to take a stand for God’s truth and His righteousness."
In conclusion, Rev. Graham said, "At the end of the day the most critical issue in this election is the Supreme Court. We’ve already seen the influence and impact this court has on the direction of our nation. You have to decide which presidential candidate you trust to appoint the next justices to serve lifetime terms and then vote for them. May God bless America again!"
Franklin Graham, 64, is the son of world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham, arguably the most effective Christian preacher o fhte last 60 years. Franklin Graham is married, has five children, and lives in Boone, N.C. He frequently comments of current affairs on radio, television, and on the Internet.
Many voters, especially government employees at all levels, do not want the corruption to end.

I agree. I know the military rank and file wants it to end. Lots of the national security wants it ended. It’s the paper-pushing bureaucrats who like it.
That a woman who has been politically active, her entire adult life, among a people with the most successful history of economic achievement over their first century and a quarter, of any people on earth, under a Constitutional Government designed to protect that people from a bureaucratic pestilence, which has been the bane of most nations; that such a woman has so missed the essential point of the American achievement, is staggering in its implications.
Mrs. Clinton claimed that a Clinton Government would rebuild the "Middle Class." Was she totally unaware that the American Middle Class clearly built itself? That the American Middle Class resulted from naturally energized individuals, aspiring to achieve the good life, who risked everything to first clear a wilderness, work hard, generation to generation, to save & accumulate the attributes of the good life; with the result that by 1913--the year that a graduated income tax first became Constitutional, this Settler built Federation of newly settled States, had already surpassed every one of the great powers of Europe in industrial strength.
To "rebuild" the "Middle Class," Mrs. Clinton vowed to make the most successful Americans--those who had achieved the most--pay increased taxes; she called it "paying their 'fair' share." But it was clearly to be a tax on success--a tax to fund a raft of new programs (a cancer or pestilence of an expanded bureaucracy). She was obviously indifferent to the fact that the biggest impediment to any poor person with ambition, actually launching a small business to improve his status, is an almost incomprehensible explosion in bureaucratic regulations, most of which premised on the same flawed understanding of how people actually advance, which Mrs. Clinton displayed, on the 19th.
Americans used to learn by experience. What were the experience based lessons of what transpired from the drafting of our written Constitution in 1787, until the passage of the income tax amendment in 1913? Are they instructive or not, for what actually works for human advancement?
The Constitution prior to 1913, absolutely interdicted a tax driven war on the accumulation of individual wealth. Article I, Section 9, which Mrs. Clinton should have remembered from Law School, provided that no direct tax on individual Americans could be applied in any way but pro-capita. (That is Warren Buffet would pay the same tax--not the same percentage tax--but the same tax as Joe the Plumber. The Founders had no desire to limit individual success. They sought only to encourage it.
Under there experience based philosophy, there were almost certainly not even 1% of the bureaucratic regulations, with which Americans seeking to improve their lot, must face today. In place of today's pursuit of grievances, real or imagined, there was universal admiration for the high achievers! And the growth rate of a people freed to achieve, was the economic phenomenon of human history.
We do not pretend to know whether it was in her indoctrination by Marxist Pied Pipers in her late teens, or pure confusion in whatever she is struggling with today. But Mrs. Clinton is utterly clueless on how a dynamic economy works; as she is utterly unaware of the dynamic, interactive factors, that drive or stagnate any human aspiration or achievement. What is absolutely clear, even if one ignores her lack of a moral compass in her political dealings; the woman is absolutely unqualified to be President of the United States.
This is one more reason why we must win this election for Donald Trump.

Absolutely. The personalities must not take priority over the platforms. The Scripture explicitly tells us that we are not to put people in power who make it easy for people to sin and the democrat platform does exactly that.
Franklin Graham put so much effort in the last year, going to each state, rousing voters to vote and getting them praying about the election. I believe the prayers have been heard. There’s also a big prayer effort in DC with some renowned Christian leaders, Nov 2 - 6. I got an email about it.
BTW, Franklin Graham said he changed his voter id from Republican to Independent earlier this year and so did another Christian leader Perry Stone. There are a lot of disgruntled ex-”R” hiding in the Indie vote count and they won’t be voting for HER.
I remember that, and you are correct. He didn’t want anyone to assume he chose a candidate based on party. He wanted it to be based on policy. That appears to be the case here.
He just has too much class, and respects that as a person doing God’s work in charity, he is seen as a Christian leader. Because of that he likely feels it is not his business to promote a candidate directly.

Let’s hope for a revival...quickly!! Everyone I know is looking for light in their life as the govt. has served a dim view of life to us....
“Geraldo Rivera said last night that it’s like nothing he’s ever seen.”
Whoraldo is right, but he’s a water-carrier for Hillary Clinton and never misses a change to put down Trump and say he’s finished. I can’t remember the last time he said Trump didn’t deserve what the media gives him. He always agrees with his left wing buddies. Whoraldo is an open borders pimp whose never voted for a republican in his life.
I do believe we are in the mist of a war being waged between good and evil in heaven right now. It has been prophesied in the Bible that these things will come to past in the end times and I believe you and I are living in those last days.
Graham is clearly calling for a vote against Clinton and a vote to put a conservative on the Supreme Court.
He is calling for a vote for Trump
yes he is.....
Yup, the USSC is a Constitutional Achilles’ heel.
It is the place that makes the most sense to armor.
That’s going to vastly outweigh questions of how bad a playboy Donald Trump used to be.
forget our founding fathers...
OUR fathers would be ashamed..(and our mothers)
All humanity “deserves” such an ignominious fate.
The fault of humanity in the Garden was to lay itself upon an illusory, necessarily incomplete if not also plain wrong, “knowledge of good and evil.” That’s an attempt to be deserving, and it is an insult to grace, which is what God intended and still intends.
The trials of mankind on earth were intended to show that mankind could “deserve” only one thing. Going to hell. Anything better could only be a result of accepting the grace of God.
I’m thinking to change to independent too....I don’t want to be party to these corrupt elitists.....
