KSLA News 12 Shreveport, Louisiana |Pastor at McCain rally brings politics into pre-rally prayer
Member Center:
DAVENPORT, IA (KSLA) - The pastor who delivered a prayer for a John McCain rally in Iowa appeared to call on God to keep Barack Obama from becoming president.
Rev. Arnold Conrad spoke before Senator McCain appeared at the morning rally in Davenport's Convention Center.
Conrad began his invocation by saying that the Lord's reputation is involved in everything that happens between now and November.
He went on to say that people all over the world are praying to their God for an Obama victory, and that if Obama wins the Lord's reputation would be harmed.
"...and Lord I pray that you would guard your own reputation because they're going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens."
McCain did not comment about the prayer either during the rally or afterward.
But a spokesperson for the campaign said questions about the candidates religion distract voters from the real issues.
