    The religious right put Bush in power, and look at the mess our country is in now. Quit selling out to morons just because they say they are pro life and anti gay. Doesnt intelligence and leadership matter any more? This country needs to be untited, and intolerent hardliners arent the answer!!!

    These so called Christian conservatives have caused enough trouble, let them go to the Devil anyway... they are lunatics pretending to believe in God's teachings...when they truly believe only in their own agenda of greed, exclusion and hate....

    How hard is it to find someone who hates gays and immigrants as much as Jesus did?

    • Posted By: forgiven1 @ 10/23/2007 7:13:02 PM

      Jesus doesn't hate anyone. He welcomes all but you have to repent and turn from your sin. You have freedom of choice. If you choose to go to hell then that's your choice.

    Wow, amazing amount of evangelical stereotyping going on here in comment section. It's an incredible thing that word, prejudice. Glad you've got it all figured out yourself and that you're not a practicer of it! I think we could all learn a thing or two just by listening a little bit better to one another and stop trying to shout over the top of one another. Each side seems to have it's extremists. But most of the rest of us know we live in a democracy, where we have to live with one another despite our different philospies and lifestyles. Does that mean certain religious people shouldn't have the right to express their strongly held view and vote? No ! How do you explain why such a large segment of the American population believes so strongly in the last two decades has had such am impact in politics? How could so many be mislead? Or were they just ignored for so long and finally woke up? That's the point of this article. Consider me an Evangelical. But I don't fit the stereotype some of you speak of with such venom. Sure, some evangelical spokespeople put us in a poor light with their comments and/or actions. They may well deserve scorn for being hypocritical. As i saidearlier, we could all do with alot more listening and civil discourse and less with oneupmanship and sound bite drivel.

      i DO AGREE THE RELIGIOUS HAS GOTTEN PLENTY OF POLITICAL LIP SERVICE, BUT SOME FOLLERS HAVE WENT WAY FAR ASTRAY [IF SPELLED RIGHT] BUT THERE IS A FACT COMING TO LIGHT AND CAN NO LONGER BE PUT ASIDE. THE BIBLE,QUARAN, AND SOME OTHER RELIGIOUS BOOKS PEOPLE FOLLOW, SHOULD BE BEST SELLERS! AS 50 PEOPLE CAN READ, AND GET 50 DIFFERENT INTERPETATIONS AND ALL ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO KILL TO PROVE THEY ARE THE ONLY RIGHT ONES TO BELIEVE! THIS HAS CAUSED MUCH SEPERATION OF THE PEOPLE. IF HOMO SAPHINES CAN LIVE WITH ONE ANOTHER ,THIS WOULD NOT BE, BUT MANKIND HAS A FLAW, AND NO RELIGION, OR POLITICIAN, OR ANY FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE WILL CHANGE THEM. SO UNTILL THEY PASS ON. WE MUST PRESS ON, AND DO OUR BEST TO KEEP IT PEACFUL AS POSSIBLE, AND AS OF TODAY WE ARE DOING A TERRIBLE JOB OF IT, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTILL RELIGIONS AGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER, IN PEACE-NOT GOING TO HAPPEN IN MY LIFE TIME, AND I AIN'T THAT OLD YET. SO ALL I CAN DO, FROM DAY TO DAY, IS HAVE SOME [THOUGH RUNNING OUT] FAITH IN MANKIND! EDWARDS IS A GOOD MAN, AND GOOD HEARTED, AND A GOOD HEART IS FAR BETTER THAN THE ABILITY TO QUOTE THE BIBLE, WITH NO PRACTICE IN ITS TEACHINGS TO A TEE! THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE IN TODAYS WORLD.

    evangelical Christians like Mr. Land are to blame for Americas demise. They spew hate under the guise of the cross. All christians due is judge others and say well "hes not a christian". if anyone has ever said those words then they are not a christian.

    I PRAY EVERYDAY THAT THE ''RIGHT WING NEO-CONARTIST EVANGELISTS'' FORM THEIR OWN PARTY
    AND TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ANOTHER GEORGE ''W''. BUSH CLONE TO ADVANCE THE IDEA THAT
    EVANGELISTS ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR THE SECOND COMMING AND WANT JESUS TO GET BACK HERE ON THIER TIMETABLE. ''THOSE WHO HAVE SUCH LITTLE FAITH CANNOT WAIT'' NICK ''X''.

    If anyone has any doubt about what happend when church and state are united, I urge them to read or re-read "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. Don't cheat and see the movie.

  • Posted By: bggrad2005 @ 10/23/2007 6:41:52 PM

    Just vote for Ron Paul. He is the best and only true representative for us Christians, and the whole nation. Get the word out about him. Go to his website, watch his videos, help donate his campaign. Don't allow the media to do the voting for you. Stand up for your rights and liberties and vote for the only person with true integrity and moral values.

  • Posted By: pfachief @ 10/23/2007 6:25:16 PM

    Lord help us all if HITLERY is ellected. We just as well adopt Socialism because that is what she is. The Government should take from the rich and redistribute to the poor via taxation. Wake up people. You are about to elect a Socialist as President. Please WAKE UP from your nightmare and come to your senses!!!

    • Posted By: pinkpanther87413 @ 10/23/2007 6:32:44 PM

      EDWARDS IS NO SOCIALIST AND DAMN YOU FOR SAYING SO YE WHO WISH ALL JEWS DEAD CAUSE THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN OUR PROFIT, BUT STILL WISH US TO SACRAFICE OUR KIDS. TO PROTECT A NUCLEAR COUNTRY WHO SELLS WEAPONS TO CHINA AGAINST THE ARMS BANN!!!??

      • Posted By: Just Amazing @ 10/23/2007 6:40:33 PM

        If we are to believe the sterotype, then jews certainly do believe in profit. When it comes to prophets however, they do have a difference of opinion with mainstream Christianity.

    • Posted By: rlweibel @ 10/23/2007 6:36:37 PM

      You know those northern european contries like sweeden and norway where they have socialized medicne and retirement...those same countries that are often considered the most modern and well off in the world...maybe it won't be such a bad thing after all.

    • Posted By: badlogic @ 10/23/2007 6:36:03 PM

      A little social responsibility and compassion isn't a bad thing. It may be misguided in this case, but no worse than the situation we are in right now.

      The nighmare ends when Bush is out of office.

  • Posted By: stu393939 @ 10/23/2007 6:39:10 PM

    I think the religious right has tried to rule this country long enough. This the 21st century and these people are trying to take us back 3oo years. I am sick and tired of the right. If they do not like this country go form your own somewhere.

  • Posted By: justaguy @ 10/23/2007 6:24:34 PM

    Christian extremists...Islamic extremists......can't you all have your OWN war and leave the rest of us in peace? Hey..just a thought!

    • Posted By: pinkpanther87413 @ 10/23/2007 6:37:41 PM

      I'LL GO FOR THAT! HEY WHAT'S THAT ISLAND CALLED WITH THE ACTIVE VOLCANO THEY CLEARED ALL THE PEOPLE FROM-WE CAN SEND THEM THERE, IF IT ERUPTS GOOD! IF NOT THEN THEY CAN KILL THEMSELVES, ARGUING WHICH WAY TO BELIEVE IN THE SAME GOD.

      well said. who ever wins gets to sit at the front of the short bus.

    Anyone else notice on almost any blog on the internet, the radical liberal left is attacking and spewing their HATE toward anyone or anything who does not agree with or support. their views. I am almost 65, and I have never seen the HATE speech, like what is coming from the leftists liberals. The left wants us to support the sodomites, murder(baby abortions) , socialized medicine and every conceivable evil listed in the Bible and before God.

      SOCIALIZED MEDICINE IS THE DEVIL! CANADA IS NOW GOING TO HELL!

    • Posted By: clacyann @ 10/23/2007 6:24:37 PM

      dont forget that our forefathers put seperation of church and state in the constitution because they saw what happened to other countries when people were forced by thier goverments to follow only one religion. we can still see it today ( taliban, iraq,whats next evagelicals )

    • Posted By: Orlandofreethinker @ 10/23/2007 5:57:35 PM

      Might that be telling you something?

      • Posted By: daisrael @ 10/23/2007 6:07:10 PM

        You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you? Disagreement with religious delusion has nothing to do with party affiliation. Christianity has its own faults for that. Sodomites?!? are you kidding. Ever gotten a BJ? Then you are a Sodomite. If you are referring to gay right activists, it has been proven in about every species on the planet to be a normal deviation. The conservatives have been backing a war that has killed thousands and thousands of civilians, women and children and you have the obtuseness to call pro-choicers murders. You are as much of a ingorant hypocrite as they come.

      • Posted By: badlogic @ 10/23/2007 6:02:59 PM

        As apposed to supporting the murder of our troops every day. We are using our troops as patrol officers and effectively lining up ducks for any terroist wannabe to shoot at or blow up. Missed today? They'll be back tomorrow. Not sure why they keep coming...

  • Posted By: tticd @ 10/23/2007 6:29:58 PM

    For the record: unless you don't consider Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, James Madison, George Washington, and many, many others of the creators of this country were either atheists or had nothing whatsoever to do with religious institutions. Rewriting history to turn this country into that you want it to be, a theocracy, is not only immoral: it's un-American. I hope he makes his own party or, better his own country, far from the rest of us who still know what this country stands for.

  • Posted By: miamibeachcachi @ 10/23/2007 6:16:45 PM

    Good, I think this party will create a new Republican Party that will not have to cater to the hell, fire and brimstone crowd. A lot of the center Democrats may be attracted to it, as well as the center Republicans. I believe that would be a majority of people in this country. It may turn out to be the NEW party that we so much need. The far right and the far left would be left out. The center would most certainly win in the most important states. We would be back to Abe's time, and that is how this nation became GREAT.




    • Posted By: justaguy @ 10/23/2007 6:29:30 PM

      I'm in! let the far right go fight the crucades......I'll be happy to fill in the void here at home!

  • Posted By: SIERRAHPBT @ 10/23/2007 6:00:52 PM

    How so called Christians could vote for Romney is beyond me! He Is a person who flipflops to pander to voters to get votes. he is Mormon. Mormonism is not Christianity. Romney has supported homosexual marriage and abortion. And let me not forget he needs to CONSULT HIS ATTORNEYS TO DO ANYTHING. Rudy the cross dresser julie anni well we won't even go there.. Huckabee.. seems to be ok except for the part of going AGAINST the constitution in declaring war by congress before the president can send troops to war. There is only one candidate who is a Christian in both words and Action. His Name is Ron Paul. He has been married to the same Lady for 50 years. his Voting record exemplifies true Christian doctrine! he is anti gay rights, anti abortion tho he says the federal government has no jurisdiction to dictate what the states decide on these issues. How any true Christian can vote for anyone else is beyond me.. We thought George Bush was a Christian but we see by his actions he is not. George claims that Christians worship the same god as muslims do Sorry Goerge as a Christian I worship the true and only God of HEAVEN not some made up god by a false profit named Muhhamed. Christians and I'm speaking to true Christians here. we were misled in 2000 and again in 2004.. The prices of everything is going up. food , gas, power etc. etc. its harder and harder to make a living, All our good paying jobs are going overseas because of NAFTA AND CAFTA. Our houses are losing their value. the value of the Dollar has plummeted 60% yes thats 60 % since 1999. and all this happened under the leadership of a supposide Chrisitan named George Bush.. DON'T BE
    FOOLED AGAIN WITH ROMNEY, HUCKABEE, OR ANYONE ELSE. RON PAUL IS THE ONLY MAN WHO IS A TRUE CHRISTIAN RUNNING FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF THE LAND. Our Christian "leaders" who are showing they are not Christians by their actions by who they are supporting in public office are cutting their own throats. Its time you wake up and lead and do what Christ would want.. not what you want.. Please folks LOKK UP RON PAUL! IF your Christian and truly look into this man, see his voting record for 30 years to back him up, you will find NO BETTER CANDIDATE TO REPRESENT US CHRISTIANS. God watch over our troops overseas and please bless Ron Paul! RON PAUL IN 08 ronpaul2008.com
