Thanks 6 pak for clearing that up, and Jamie I am just saying you never know, I dont care what group there in, they all praise to that bs god allah, and anyonethat believes that garbage should not be President, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

He'd make just as bad a president as McCain but to vote against him without critically analyzing the propaganda is, well,it's downright <img src="http://www.photobucket.com/albums/0703/NewfieRose/EMOTICONS/ef5530ce.gif" alt="image">.<br><br>"Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve." ~ George Bernard Shaw<br><br>Gramps<br>

I'll be very surprised if Obama is elected, IMHO there are too many people who won't vote for him because of personal issues, some because he is black,some because he may be a closet Muslim, some because of his inexperience, some just because we don't know enough about him. Others just because theydon't trust him. So they will vote for the only other choice. And many will cast their vote for McCain because they feel that he is the most qualified ofthe two candidates. Put it all together and it spells McCain... <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eyes.gif" alt="image">Michael

it seems a bit wacky that people are arguing about not wanting a muslim president, seeing as how NEITHER candidate is muslim. its common knowledge that obamahas been a practicing christian since the mid 80's, years before he even got started in politics. its preposterous to entertain the idea that he is somesort of closet radical muslim seeking the presidency in order to undermine and overthrow our government, i.e. the anti christ. its frightening to think that inthis day and age people still believe in biblical endtimes nonsense.<br><br>as far as allah goes, i hate to break it to some people here, but technically, "that bs god allah" is the same god as the christian AND jewish god.all three religions stem from the god of abraham, they just disagree about the divinity of christ, among many other things. that's the irony that reallymakes the hatred between these religions totally absurd, that they all pray to the SAME GOD, but hate each other for the way they celebrate and worship him. toinsinuate that all muslims are inherintly bad is no different than claiming that all christians are cross burning klansmen. all western religions have branchesthat cross the spectrum from loving, peaceful coexistence to violent, deep seated hatred of all things different from their beliefs. it is ignorant andhypocritcal to hate another religion because it has factions that commit evil in the name of their god. all religions have this problem. ever hear of thecrusades? how about the holocaust? do these church sanctioned events make all christians evil? why should the actions of of radical muslims make all believersof that faith bad people? at the end of the day, no one really knows who is right about god and the afterlife. to claim that one religion is good and right andall others are not, based on no hard facts whatsoever, only makes a fool out of the believer.
-
Dave and I don't always see eye to eye, but I must agree with him on this. Why be worried about the politics of a country other than your own? I can barelykeep up with my own, and I really would not argue with citizens of another country concerning their political landscape.
-
Doug...<br><br>Whazza matter? Did I touch a nerve?<br><br>My main point was that it doesn't matter...the powers behind the gov't(s) have it pegged from many different angles. By why bother trying toexplain....just take the red pill....or take the blue one and go back to reading Anne Coulter coffee table books. The "differences" between the twoparties is simply a smokescreen to make us think we actually have a choice. I'll be putting my tin foil hat on again now....<br><br>As far as why the mid term Dems haven't lived up to their promises....that's a real head scratcher for sure. I have been disappointed in our"elected" officials for as long as I have been able to vote. No biggie. If people want EMPIRE that's fine with me...just don't drag me downwith you.<br><br>And to Eric (gumpy's):<br><br>How dare you call anyone else's god "bs?" People like you are the reason for violence. Heck, I feel violent just reading your comments! Allthrough history religious differences have caused more pain and suffering than all the terrorist acts combined. So p*ss off with that rhetoric. Or maybe turnthe other cheek and share some understanding and try to EVOLVE. You have a right to worship your god in this country just as I have a right to worship adifferent one.

canadians and every other country in the world have a very good reason to be worried about u.s. politics. u.s. foreign policy is adversely affecting theeconomies and stability of the entire world. why should u.s. citizenship be a requirement to be concerned about the future of the planet?<br><br>in response to an earlier post, seperation of church and state is most definitely not a christian principle. that's like saying its the goal of yourfavorite football team is to NOT win the super bowl.<br><br>like daspanic said, in reality, all this arguing over who is a better choice for president is a waste of time in the first place. the president has about asmuch control over the course of this country as the queen of england has over the u.k. it does'nt matter who you vote for, the power behind the throne isset on its course and the common man no longer has strength to overthrow that power. the government learned a valuable lesson from the cultural revolution ofthe late 60's. they found out the hard way that their worst enemy is the educated, financially secure citizen, smart enough to spot injustice andeconomically stable enough to take action. the systematic destruction of the middle class and our public education system has paved the way for the governmentto do what they want, when they want, because who cares about the government tapping your phone, when you're struggling just to pay the bill? why read timemagazine when the new episode of flavor of love is going to be on in ten minutes? we have all been had, we're just too stupid to realize it.

Having the right to be worried or concerned, and arguing the politics of a country one is not a citizen of and cannot vote in is two entirely different things.I can be concerned about what is going on in France, but I won't get in an argument between French people and tell them who they should or should not votefor in their country.

You are correct, he said who NOT to vote for.

I feel people who live outside the US should be concerned about this election year. I think Canada and Mexico definitely need to be concerned. I have noproblem with them voicing their opinions on this matter.<br>If my neighbors house is on fire I'm going to warn them, call 911, grab a garden hose and try to help put the fire out. I'm going to do this even if Idon't like their lifestyle, their yard looks like crap, and their kids are brats. I'm going to do it to try and stop the flames from getting to myhouse.<br><br>The last serious 3rd party contender was Ross Perot. I voted for him. People made fun of his charts, his big ears, and his squeaky voice. Having a running matethat doses off at the podium during a debate didn't help him much either. I want both candidates to tell us their VP choices, stop being coy and tell us.He did warn us of a "giant sucking sound" which would be the loss of wealth and jobs in this country. I think we're seeing it now.<br><br>I respect John McCain. He's a combat veteran, and a P.O.W. He was nearly killed again when a aircraft carrier he was stationed on caught fire. He was inthe cockpit of a fighter plane when the fire erupted, and barely managed to escape from the fighter while bombs were exploding on deck. He deserves respect,he's earned it.<br><br>I disagree with McCain's stance on Iraq. He feels we may be in Iraq for 100 years. I know he means we will have a military base there, like we have inJapan, Germany. We have a military base in Kuwait, I don't think we need one in Iraq too. I also don't like that he is hinting about some sort ofaction in Iran. That scares me. Obama's plan is to have troops out of Iraq by 2010.<br><br>I disagree with some of his energy plan. He wants to build 45 nuclear power plants as part of his strategy. Again that scares me, it is a dangerous method tosolve our energy crisis. I think of 3 Mile Island when I think of nuclear energy. I'm also afraid they would become a target for a terrorist attack. Obamahas wind and solar power plants as part of his strategy. I do feel that some of the strategic oil reserves needs to be released to help drop the price of oil.Some will argue that we should only use that for a emergency, in a time of war. We have a war in Iraq, we have a war in Afghanistan, and we have a war onterror. Let some of the oil loose!

The only thing clear cut will be each of them pointing out the others faults, clear as the sky...<br>All I hear about it "change", whatever that means.<br><br>H. Ross Perot blew it for the third party momentum...remember how everyone was energized about this movement, just to have him drop out, then get back in? People were very excited about a third party with potential. It would have been interesting politics today if he would have stayed course. We could haveactually had a viable third party...bummer...<br><br>Coming soon to a television and radio near you: Campaign ads with smoke and mirrors, lies, deception, mud slinging, and more lies, deception, and mudslinging...<br><br><br><br><br><br><img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_freak.gif" alt="image"><br>
