I don't know how you come to believe Palin doesn't believe in Armageddon.
As for Bush, so he's a member of the Methodist Church and it looks good on his resume, he doesn't follow their teachings, so I'd guess he gets his religious influence from some where else.

So let me get this straight..... Your logic is this: Obama is a member of a church that openly advocates violence towards its enemies (in this case white America), but his religion obviously encourages pacifism and is A-okay in your books.
Bush is a member of a church that specifically denounces violence, but it is his religioius beliefs that are responsible for him advocating war and his church membership should be denounced at all costs....
Your logic is making my head hurt....
Here is the reality of the situation. Both are politicians. Both say whatever they think will get them votes. The majority of Americans are religious. Both are guilty of using religion to attempt to win votes. Bush's religious views are not the root of his problems....him being a politician is.
