Too many of us still don't understand that Religion and Politics don't mix.

I can forgive Obama's life of drug addiction and crime, but I can't elect him to be president. Common sense and moral convictions rule the day.

Not just American politics, politics anywhere on the planet. God simply isn't concerned with the world's political systems, because they're of the world and not His Kingdom. To think He would be is silly; it's like thinking God cares whether you wear the red shirt or the green shirt with those pants.

You know why its so easy for you and others to talk about Clinton, Edwards, Bush, INSTEAD of Obama? It's because OBAMA hasn't done anything significant in his life for which you can render intelligent judgement.

This ain't about Clinton. YOu want to cherry pick Clinton, have at it. How about putting our brother under the same critical microscope and see what you come up with.

We can't, as stated already and you should know, his agenda isn't known. His programs aren't known, his voting record is only alittle over 50%, and unfortunately, the only candidate worth voting for in the democratic party at this point.

So answer your own question as we already know this as a answer, this is the change up candidate being supplied to us as Americans, a solution to the previous ills of the last president, it is an endless cycle in which it has.

You have me confused or have my post confused. This was to answer ezekielscall_2's question.

True and agreed

But with that... your current choice? It's not like we could submit Donald Duck as a write in, and choosing an independant during the election would only split the vote and guarantee another Republican President...

But Ms. Mckinney wouldn't get in for the simple fact that the votes during the election would split and elect another Republican

Plus, YT isn't going to forgive her for telling the truth despite the spin doctors

While I personally like Cynthia McKinney, she's been written off as a nutbar/troublemaker by far too much of the total population at large. The likelihood of her even being considered as a valid Presidential candidate is extremely low.

Brother you are absoutely right, the CFR may have put Obama there to insure racial polarization and a Republican win,
as I said, no one has mentioned the Voting Rights Act wich expires this year, o wether the computer voting machines are finally tamper proof.

No shyt! You walked right in to the obvious conclusion: If one has no record, no history of that you wish to employ him for, why would anyone be so intellectually void by forcing themselves to conclude the opposite?!!! This isn't a crap shoot, nor is it Vegas.
