Chuck Baldwin gets press in Montana

The Montana News Association, which is particularly popular among conservatives and christians in that state, has released an article detailing their opinion and views of Chuck Baldwin.

When asked if he is running as “Pastor Baldwin” or “Dr. Baldwin”, the nominee smilingly responded that, for the purposes of the campaign, he’s just “Chuck Baldwin.” Some Americans may hold the position that being a pastor and running for president of the United States are mutually exclusive occupations, but Chuck Baldwin disagrees. “People of faith have the right and responsibility to be involved in civil affairs,” affirmed Baldwin.

Baldwin even landed a few punches on John McCain

Dr. Baldwin believes one of the results of the church’s lack of teaching is that today’s evangelicals are extremely shallow in their discernment. In a February 27, 2007 article, Baldwin, in talking about today’s evangelicals, wrote, “They seem to love Republican candidates who wear religion on their sleeve. Whether the candidate walks the walk does not seem to matter near as much as whether he talks the talk.” Baldwin stands by what he said, and went even further, in his interview with the Montana News. “Evangelicals coalescing around John McCain is a classic example of this. He has a twenty-plus year track record of liberal policies and many evangelicals are just swallowing their opposition of his record and embracing his candidacy.”
