Cognitive Dissonance Set Aside

I decided to check out a website that is run by Christians endorsing Barack Obama. I am not going to criticize their reasons for supporting O!, however their defense of his positions on abortion are ridiculous. They ignore the Senator's voting record and Obama's very own arguments on the floor of the Illinois Senate. Instead they cite a Relevant Magazine interview from April 2008. This from the same people who constantly berate other Christians for being uncritical of republicans. How are these people supposed to speak "truth to power" if they are this in the tank for Obama? I have always suspected these Christians were just as politically biased in the other direction as they accuse the religious right of being.
