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.

Then we should dismiss most of our government officials.

I can't speak for the person your replying to but I would have to say there is hypocrisy in our term "separation of church and state" when we have God's name on our dollar bills (something put in place during the Cold War because fear of the Commie Atheists), require people to swear on the Bible in Courts and before taking public office.

*** Uh, yeah we do. Nowhere in our constitution is there a mention of God or any supreme being. And what is the president sworn in to do?

Why would the Constitution mention God? But I guess the founders, and everyone since, felt that "Supreme oversight" was appropriate...our President's swear on a Bible and we invoke God in our symbology. So...you're pretty much wrong.

>Almost all of our leaders have religious beliefs, most being Christian.<

*** So? Are they subject to any kind of religious test? Are they required a belief in Jesus, or God, or a higher power?

Officially? No. In reality? Yes.

*** So? See above.

I see...so you feel "because I said so" is a convincing argument? LOL! Thanks, I'll stick with reality.

*** Hands on bibles and leaders who practice the free exercise of religion hardly equates to the nonexistence of a secular government in this country. We do indeed have a secular government, and I believe our elected leaders should be responsible enough to publicly represent it as such.

Our leaders are generally religious and they actually tout their religious belief to win votes. So much for your "secular government."

*** I guess you’ve forgotten that Obama wasn’t spouting off prayers for policies while holding a public office?

LOL! Ok...

The junior Illinois senator stood in the pulpit of a Pentecostal church Sunday to challenge the partisan religious perception by telling some 4,000 worshippers that faith “plays every role” in his life.

“It’s what keeps me grounded. It’s what keeps my eyes set on the greatest of heights,” Obama told members of the Redemption World Outreach Center in Greenville, S.C., according to The Associated Press.

Faith, he said, is “what propels me to do what I do and when I am down it’s what lifts me up.”

Obama, who is a member of the United Church of Christ – considered one of the most liberal mainline Protestant denomination, also said God “is with us and He wants us to do the right thing,” such as breaking down divisions between Democrats and Republicans and among religions, according to AP.

When people work together, there is “nothing that can stop us because that’s God’s intention.” the senator exhorted.

*** Uh huh, and I’ll wait for the next installment that apparently proves our government isn’t secular (and therefore makes it acceptable for irresponsible leaders to spout their beliefs and publicly pray for God’s will regarding foreign policies as if we lived in a theocracy...I'm sorry, but it's so creepy and al qaeda"ish").

Boo.

*** Let's see, what's next? “Under God” in our pledge of allegiance, or the placement of "in the year of our Lord" at the end of the Constitution, or “in God We Trust” on money?

Nah...can't have any facts to refute the lies and propaganda. LOL!

Hey it's your party that thinks the best ways to improve society is to ban what's gauranteed by the constitution and at the same time fund facilities, medical staff and supplies to illegal drug users so they can shoot up.


If thinking that's what's best for America isn't faith based politics I don't know what is.

Then what is it. Dem's with religious backgrounds are ok, Evangelicals are unacceptable?


Have you come up with evidence that Palin has impacted Alaskan laws with her religious beliefs?


I've already looked it up, and when her religious belief conflict with present law, she follows law.
