Ever work for a poor beggar? obama may make you think this will happen but I doubt it will. Not all businesses are and even if they are who are YOU to steal what they earned?

I don't know, but I'll bet checking into the other nine gazillion threads referring to this topic on the forum would help you figure it out.

By the way, as long as we're into old news...stamps are up to $.29.

I guess that Democrats really don't look at a candidates religious background as something that is important.

This isn't an issue of seperating church and state. It really is more of the idealism of secular progressives. Democrats that identify themselves with a church? Christians who vote left wing? Very interesting.

That's right, we don't. Or at least I don't.

Do you look into issues like spousal abuse or desertion as something that is important?

How about a history of volatility?

Do you look at a candidate's relative health and age, and hence, his chances of being able to perform a highly stressful job of President of the United States, as something that is important?

Just curious. I mean since church is so important to you...I should hope these highly moral and safety issues would be, too.

If you're not a hypocrite, that is.

But hell. Maybe whether the candidate has irregularly made nap-filled appearances at the back of church ranks higher than any of that on your list as "things that are important".

I’m worried about Sarah Palin when she was on stage at the alter having three ministers laying hands on her to get the evil witches and demons out of your.


YouTube - Sarah Palin, Thomas Muthee and witchcraft

However is any of this nonsense important in the political view of things? Why are these even questions that even come up? Next thing you know we’ll want a president who has a religious snake handler on staff for his administration.
