There is something wrong with this story. Bush was elected back in November, now it's may. He can't run again. But the story says the preacher is (present tense) telling his congregation they have to repent and agree to vote for Bush.
More likely (if there is any truth to this story) he preached about some moral issue for which the democrat party seems to have a firm platform plank against, and when challenged spoke out about it.
The pastor said it wasn't political, and that people were upset because he named names. Sounds like a moral disagreement, not a political one.

If you watch the video that is what they start out saying then throw in the part about Bush.Unfortunately many SBC churches are still have a membership dominated by the "greatest Generation".They are the people that strayed from teaching "Lordship" and were more concerned with the "Priesthood of the Believer" than taking strong Biblical stands against anything other than alcohol.This resulted in the 60"s children of the SBC being the most fertile hunting ground for Mormans and new age beliefs.
I suspect a strong Bible preaching pastor is butting heads with 60 year old Deacons that think it is their church and the Preacher works for them.
