Vote McCain/Palin if you want change

Hi everyone.


I am very worried about the future of this country. Do we want a religious zealot to become a vice president of this great country of ours? I sure hope they don't win but in case republicans win the election we all should keep our fingers crossed McCain is well.  


Yes, it seems just about every American wants change. And with republicans in the White House change will happen alright. We will be fighting wars, wars and more wars. Against Iran, against Russia, North Korea and who knows who else, in addition to the already ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.  We will be fighting wars and keep sending young, capable AMERICAN people to death; not to mention the billions or trillions $ being thrown away , because this is "GOD'S WILL". Yes, thanks governor. Thank you for the encouraging words. Thank you for giving my family a prospect for a bright and prosperous future. Dear Mrs. please check your calendar and see what century we live in. It seems like you are stuck somewhere in the distant past.  I have always admired the courageous people, willing to risk their lives, by enlisting and going overseas to fight. BUT it disturbs me a lot when you say this is God's will or God's plan.  I can'help but think of mothers sending their sons to terrorist camps in the name of the "Holly War"..!!!


Don't get me wrong. There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with being religious. But come on people lets get real. Lets synchronize our clocks with the rest of the  progressive world's.


I guess I have no choice but PRAY you guys stay out of the White House, because if otherwise my family of three is packing and emigrating to some peaceful and prosperous country, where it could send my son to a nice college and he'll have a better chance to make a good life for himself, instead of sending him off to war, because that would be his only option.

You wrote: I think I made it clear why I believe she is a religious zealot.


I'm still waiting to know why exactly you're calling her a religious zealot. Be specific, please. I'm genuinely curious.

>>I've asked before and I'll ask again, does a candidate lose their freedom of religion because they take office?<<


Nope.

And I forgot to add one more thing, before I end my talk about religion.


I wonder if Mrs. Palin is aware that America is more than just devout Christians and small towns. She seems unaware of many important issues and facts. I wonder if this is one of them?


Or maybe she's being condescending thinking that she could get

Great Post. I am a christian and my prayer is that W return home soon to Texas and that we elect people who respect not only my faith but the beliefs--or lack of--of every citizen in this country. Gov. Palin has accomplished something impressive : she scares me more than W.

*** I am very worried about the future of this country. Do we want a religious zealot to become a vice president of this great country of ours?

Now Believing in God makes make you a zealot? A rather odd perspective coming from someone who’s going to “pray” that the “zealot” loses.

*** BUT it disturbs me a lot when you say this is God's will or God's plan. I can'help but think of mothers sending their sons to terrorist camps in the name of the "Holly War"..!!!

Palin didn’t say “this is God’s will”…it’s propaganda that she explained in her interview with Charles Gibson. Watch it for her explanation…it might ease your irrational fears.
