Yes, the current Republican president COUPLED WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS has come up with the most bloated government in years. So, what would you have me do, vote for the most liberal to the left candidate the democrats have offered since McGovern? Not a personal attack, just a plain observation of positions.

How is pointing out that the opposition is far left to the point of leaning toward socialism equated with hate and fear mongering? Calling McCain and his campaign hate filled and fear mongering is doing the same yourself.

Sorry, don't see Obama as qualified. Hilary or Biden would be more qualified in my thinking, but it is the platform and direction that I am voting both for and against.

So, the platform I would like to see is not available to me in this election, therefore I am voting against a far left platform and am voting for one more center/right when I would prefer one more solidly right.
My thoughts exactly!

Can you go start a prayer circle somewhere and leave the intellectual discussions to others. Thanks.

Right-wing bible-thumpers not included, of course.
Right-winged Christians are just as much part of society as the secularists.

Yes, they are. But they have no right to force their Christianity into the governance of this nation.

The only thing I'm intolerant about is intolerance, which is what you and your ilk are peddling.

I think most of us are done trying to be tolerant of bigots who try to push their religious doctrine into our government.

One can only take so much before they throw their hands in the air and call a spade a spade.

Oh ... But you have the right to force your secular beliefs into our government? Secularism is a religion by the way.

Don't you have a crusade to plan? I'm surprised you have time for this, especially as you have no idea what you are talking about.
