GOP candidate says Obama taking away freedom to find salvation

A Republican candidate in Missouri warned Monday that his opponent and the president are blocking the path to salvation.

In an interview on the Gina Loudon radio program, Ed Martin said that President Barack Obama and Rep. Russ Carnahan were keeping people from finding the Lord.

"We're great because we created a place and space where people can be free," said Martin. "And they can choose Christ, they can choose to be faithful. They can worship, and they find their way to the Lord."

"And that's one of the things that's most destructive about the growth of government. It's this taking away that freedom. The freedom -- the ultimate freedom, to find your salvation, to get your salvation," he continued.

"And I think that's one of the things that we have to be very, very aware of that the Obama Administration and Congressman Carnahan are doing to us," he said.

Bravo comment: Seriously? The GOP wants you to believe they have a direct line to God; they're God's political party.  That's nothing new, although the ridiculousness of the insinuation never fails to annoy me.  But making you afraid for your soul's salvation because Barack Obama is the head of American government?  Claiming that somehow Barack Obama is removing your freedom to find salvation?  It's absurd.  And it's impossible, even if you DO believe you need salvation.  

Right now, the only thing I need to be saved from is the Republican party!
