I have a problem with the Baptists and their association with Bill Clinton.

They never condemned his lying on the Bible.

I can't support that.

His congregation's pastor didn't. However, I remember him being roundly condemned by other Baptist Pastors.

As a Southern Baptist, I can tell you that amonst SBs that I know, Clinton was definitely condemned. We were ashamed that he considered himself a SB.

On the contrary, Clinton was blasted from pulpits all across the Southern Baptist Convention. He was rebuked by a resolution at the annual SBC meeting. And approximately 70% of Southern Baptists voted for Bush, Sr., Dole and "W." Every SBC minister I know or encountered during the 8 years of Clinton was vehemently opposed to his reprobate Presidency. But Southern Baptists are not a heirarchical denomination. Each church is autonomous. The only church that could discipline him was him home church in Little Rock. No denominational board, agency, or leader controls any local church. When the Clintons were in the White House, they regularly attended the Foundry United Methodist Church. My church in the Daytona Beach area provided at least 700 votes for Bush and about a dozen for Clinton. I need not remind you how helpful those 700 votes were for our country. Our pastor prayed at Bush's campaign stop, and my daughter sang in the church's children's choir which performed at the event.
