  • Senator John Mccain 08 Watch: December 2005
    SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN 08 WATCH: DECEMBER 2005 IN FOCUS: McCain Said Murtha “Has Never Been A Big Thinker.” McCain was recently asked about an article in the New Republic that said, “John Kerry, McCain says, doesn’t have ‘the strength to see it through.’ And John Murtha is ‘a lovable guy,’ but ‘he’s never been a big thinker; he’s an appropriator.’ ...McCain tells me that Murtha has become too emotional about the human cost of the war. ‘As we get older, we get more sentimental.’” On his comment that Murtha is becoming too emotional, McCain replied, “I think he has become emotional, and understandably so. He goes to funerals. He goes, as many of us do, out to Walter Reed and he sees the price of war. And I think that that has had some effect on him.” [Meet the Press, NBC, 12/4/05] IN HIS OWN WORDS: McCAIN ON SANTORUM “Let’s not underestimate what Rick represents in the United States Senate. He represents family values, he represents commitment to family and America and he represents what in my view is the next generation of leadership.” [Santorum event, 12/2/05] BUZZ WATCH: Newsday: McCain Trying To Cast Himself “As The President’s Conservative Heir-Apparent.” “In a bid to pick up President George W. Bush supporters, McCain’s backers have been casting him as the president’s conservative heir-apparent in key primary states like Michigan, New Hampshire and South Carolina, where the senator suffered his most bitter primary defeat. The senator’s aides underscore the fact he’s a pro-gun, anti-abortion conservative who gets an 83 out of 100 rating from the Christian Coalition, even after criticizing the role evangelical Christians played in Bush’s 2000 campaign.” [Newsday, 12/10/2005] McCain Slipping In The Primary Polls And At Statistical Tie With Clinton.

  • ABSTRACT GEORGE W. BUSH's FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE By
    ABSTRACT GEORGE W. BUSH’S FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE by Christopher M. Kromer This paper examines the Bush administration’s introduction of the federal faith-based initiative program, a funding and service delivery scheme that combines the resources of the federal government with the social and institutional authority of faith communities. In an attempt to explain the genesis and popularity of the faith-based movement, this paper endeavors to show that, when both the personal faith of George W. Bush and the history of religious engagement in American political discourse are considered, the faith-based initiative is neither novel nor surprising. Instead, it represents the latest effort to combine the power of government with the appeal of religion, a trend that has continued into the Obama administration. GEORGE W. BUSH’S FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Comparative Religion by Christopher M. Kromer Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2010 Advisor________________________ (Peter Williams) Reader_________________________ (Liz Wilson) Reader_________________________ (Ryan Barilleaux) Table of Contents INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………...1 CHAPTER 1: FROM THE MARGINS TO THE HALLS OF POWER: FAITH IN THE MODERN PRESIDENCY FROM JFK TO CLINTON…………………………………..3 CHAPTER 2: THE SPIRITUAL LIFE OF GEORGE W.

Bush’s Faith-Based Initiative” Introduction In his campaign for the presidency in 2000, Texas governor George W. Bush promised voters he would be a “compassionate conservative,” a commander-in-chief who would combine traditional conservative devotion to law and order with a softer, more personal appeal to faith.
