By now you may have seen press coverage of a new viral video entitled "I'm Voting Republican" in which numerous people give facetious reasons for voting GOP this November, all of them echoing liberal memes about conservatives and Republicans.
But checking the credits, I came across something that caught my eye, the "Special Thanks" portion of the video credits. One thing in particular stood out, a note of thanks to "All Saints' Episcopal Church." The name appearing above that credit lists one "Shelley Dudley" as another person thanked for her help. Since SyntheticHuman Pictures, the company that produced the "I'm Voting Republican" video hails from Phoenix, I quickly found the Web page for the church in question and that Ms. Dudley is the church's financial administrator.
One of the scenes in the video features an actor named Jason J. Baker portraying one Rev. David Madison saying, "I'm voting Republican because women just can't be trusted to make decisions about their own bodies. Never, ever, ever." Behind Baker is a stained-glass window.
Given the partisan nature of the video and the advice the company gives in a "Get Involved" section of its Web site for concerned viewers to join liberal groups like MoveOn.org, it may be worth someone in the mainstream media asking if it's appropriate for a church to let its facilities be used for the filming of a partisan video.

Oh yeah those stinking Episcopalians and Lutherans and
June 20, 2008 - 18:48 ET by Dee BunkCatholics according to Trach. All Christians stink and may as well be liberals unless they are willing to follow the rules of trach. They can't be conservatives according to Trach they have to switch over and be liberal and support abortion and everything else just because they get tired of listening to people like Trach tell them how to practice their religion. People who normally would have been standing with conservatives on issues like Abortion and Life and free expression of Christianity and all it's symbols, now find themselves supporting opposite positions because they fear people like Trach. Thanks Trach.
They don't realize that the liberals do the same thing that Trach does. They tell Christians how they should be allowed to practice their own faith. No one will realize before it's too late.

Do the same rules apply to liberal Churches? I would think so.
