The Political Insider

Uhhh……I can’t, I just can’t. Or maybe I’ll have what he’s having, double the ice.

GOP presidential candidate and Ohio Governor John Kasich took this religion thing to a new level when he joined the Hugh Hewitt show. Kasich is now #2 in New Hampshire, and he’s very proud of it, but this exchange was just plain weird.

“I have the experience and I’ve had success and I’ve been a reformer all of my life,” Kasich told host Hugh Hewitt when asked why he should win New Hampshire.

“And I have a message, you know– look, we have a lot of candidates who are like the Prince of Darkness,” Kasich said. “I consider myself the Prince of Light and Hope.”

I am sure Kasich rocked Hewitt off his seat with that statement. What would possess (*pun) Kasich to say such a thing? I understand religion is needed in America, but now it’s gotten to a point where every other sentence is about faith or preaching some scripture.

I am a pastor’s son, and I am saying enough. You don’t wear your Christianity in your mouth; you wear it by your actions.

Check out this clip where Kasich also talks about the Sarah Palin endorsement.
