You're scaring me....

Organizers said they had a waiting list for the first-ever Values Voter debate, but about a third of the 2,700 seats at the Broward Center for Performing Arts were empty.
Obviously these seats were reserved for the real estate flippers/investors who are moving to Florida at the rate of 1800 per day....

Thus we see the rise of the right wing, American version of the Taliban. Their orthodoxy scares me and I think they would like nothing better than a theocracy, no matter that this country was founded as a refuge of religous freedom.

Citigirl, are you ready yet to verify your stated position that a black person is not ready to be president of the US? I'm still waiting.

Park Twain - I have to believe what you reported is true because I could not make that up even if I tried.

"God Hates America' indeed!

There are an amazing number of people that have to have a strict set of rules to follow. IMHO they require this because the risk of using their own judgment is too great for them to tolerate. Talk about fear of "hellfire and damnnation".

This is politically dangerous because the needs for exact guidance and a scapegoat for all the society’s failures (Gay, Atheists, Jews, etc.) leads directly down the road to tyranny.

Paraphrasing – "One People, One State, One Leader – all cheer!"

You may have noticed Guliani, McCain, Romnney and Thompson all had "conflicts of schedules" and could not attend. They want no part of these bozos.

Now when all the GOP nomination wannabees (except for McCain) refused to debate issues of race at a symposium at a black Maryland college, what does that connote?

Alan Keyes is a religious kook! Everything to him revolves around abortion! Anybody know his daugher is gay & he has disowned her?

I love this! The GOP canidates are like a circus!
