Straw man alert.
But who decides what is good and what isn't and how?

Personally, I dont care for any faith based programs, and cannot agree with him (or McCain) on everything he (or McCain) says.

In general, Repulicans like programs that benefit the rich - McCain is suggesting gobs of tax cuts for this suffering segment.

Oh, that's right.

I think a de-witching has a 90-day prayer-back guarantee. But if she requires an exorcism that's not covered; there's an additional cost.

Ya know, that's not completely true. There a lot of social programs in this country that benefit the not so well to do. These programs should stay in place and will stay in place.

I'm wondering if Obama will use his faith in God as a factor when making decisions for America.

At this point, the less well to do are hurting much more than the rich. Warren Buffet has a standing $1 million offer to anyone who can show, as a percent of income, that the CEO of a Fortune 500 company pays more in taxes than his Personal Assistant. So far, no takers. That should tell you how things are tilted towards the rich. I understand the trickle down effect well, but when things are bad, we do not need tax cuts for the rich since the supposed effects will take time to trickle down. McCain is proposing just that and it is not good for middle class.

Why do you think Barack abruptly left Trinity United Church of Christ?
