I would like to know what you all will do if Bush wins? I don't know if I can handle another 4 years. Any ideas of how to reclaim our country and restore democracy and freedom? I'm worried that another 4 years will increase the authoritariansm and absolute power that Bush has come to claim and further trample on our constitution and individual liberties. I'm truly frightened.

This Christian Conservative will be dancing in the street with glee if Bush is re-elected. As will a lot more people than you realize.

Are you aware, that a marketing guy was fired when he asked Bush tough questions in a republican rally by invitation only? Those type of freedoms we are talking about.

But at least they are not greedy since they don't support tax cuts for rich which is against the democratic platform...

"Are you aware, that a marketing guy was fired when he asked Bush tough questions in a republican rally by invitation only? Those type of freedoms we are talking about."

My understanding was that it was much more complicated than that. I probably don't have this all straight, but my understanding of the news report was that the guy was an invited guest of a company (not his), maybe he had invited guests with him from another company, but whatever the case, he was there basically b/c of a business relationship and his behavior was insulting to the people he was with. Poor business relations is what it sounded like it boiled down to to me. Please correct me if this was not the senario of how he came to be at this rally.

Freedoms extend to the company as well. People often forget that it runs both ways. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences. Also, being fired is a lot better than say, having his tounge cut out or being killed.

Well you are right upto certain extent. The company's client gave him the ticket to go to the event. They both knew he was antibush. After the incident the client asked his boss to fire him because of the questions he asked and Bush was insulted. So his boss was forced to make a business decision to fire him since the client would have withdrwn the business if this guy was not fired. I think it was not a big deal and President should have addressed his questions however bitter.

How can REAL Christians actually support Bush? He goes against EVERYTHING Jesus stood for! Bush is out there killing innocent people (what happened to thou shall not kill) and taking away from the poor. Giving more money to the rich. Jesus was a revolutionary who tried to introduce God's love into the community and fought for fairness - especially for the poor. How can so called "Christians" support Bush? It does not make any sense.
