FAIRNESS IN POLITICS

Is the title for today's blog an oxymoron? When George W. was president, the conservatives cried that he wasn't being treated fairly by the media or those on the left. Today, many are voicing the same concerns, this time as they apply to Obama and they're coming from the left.

Are elected officials (and those seeking to be elected) dealt with in fairness? Should they be? Should they expect to be? What is a Christian's role in this -- if any?

Some have suggested that pastors and churches should be able to freely endorse candidates. The claim is that this is a free speech issues. Others believe it is not appropriate pointing to the issue of separation of church and state. What do you think?
