I feel old! I can remember when McCain was a Democrat! As I stated in Which Democrat Candidate and Why, I'll vote for McCain if Hillary gets the DNC nomination because I just can't let Hillary become President. Her politics are too far left for my taste, me being a moderate Independent. I don't agree with McCain on most of the issues. However, I firmly believe the midterm elections in 2009 will give the Democrats the majority in the House. This will give them the ability to override the Senate and the President, if any of McCain's issues get to the floor as bills. There IS method to my madness!
Intelligent Design? Are you kidding me? What's so hard to understand about evolution?
I have a theory about anyone who believes in intelligent design, and here it is: The people who preach about intelligent design are the very people natural selection was meant to weed out through evolution. If it were 20,000 years ago you most certainly would have lacked the capacity to survive on your own and to therefore breed and spread your genes. However, thanks to modern marvels like fast food and SUVs, you can instead survive beyond the age of 10 and preach about intelligent design.
I would vote for ron paul. he seems to be the only one not begotten toe the religious right wing that is destroying and literally changing what it means to be an american. our country is free and democratic because of belife in your evangelistic god?? no you idiots your able to spred your evangelistic god because our constitution allows you to. and you are trying your best to change that which is a shame since the rest of the world used to belive in america as the beckon of freedom, instead of the narrow mindded view the neo-cons so despritally desire
The reason why science cannot bring back a dead is because the "intellect" of man is way too primitive vis-a-vis with God. It is true that there are many false religions that exist and if you don't know what makes them false, you should stop bashing them coz you look like the blind leading the blind. Man's science cannot create DNA from scratch but the so called "lower forms" of life like plants and trees can. Unless you guys can claim you're more "intellligent" than the grain of corn, which is just a dot of starch but miraculously can form a bunch of DNAs, you should stop bashing on God. There is much intelligence that science cannot answer and that "intelligence" would someday reveal Himself that you'd come to a conclusion and would say "I'm such an idiot, I wish I wasn't been born at all". IF YOU CAN'T ANSWER WHERE THOSE INTELLIGENCE ARE COMING FROM, BEWARE !! You would pay for it very dearly. Huckabee, winning or not, is not the main picture. Your soul is.
My vote, which would be the second vote for a Republican in the fifty-eight years I have been eligible to vote, would be for Ron Paul. I live in Massachusetts and we are still recovering from the management by Romney. He has made much of the vetos that he wielded here but never mentions that they were all overridden. He also nevers mentions that, in his last year in office, he was out of the state over 250 days.
A former Republican Governor, Jane Swift, has ripped into Romney as a flip-flopper. I can say that practically every liberal stance he took to endear himself to the residents of Massachusette have been reversed. I also take umbrage at his statements concerning the need to be a "God believer" to be eligible for public office.
Huckabee is completely beyond the pale. He wants to bring the nation "back to Christianity", a place that it never really has been. His record in Arkansas is abismal, commuting more sentences for violent offenders than number of all the abutting states. This includes the serial rapist that ended up raping and killing probably two more women. His record includes some highly questionable uses of public and campaign funds. His stated stance on aids is also an anathma.
Interesting that he refuses to release copies of his sermons.
Rudy is simply lying about his record.
Thompson is a non-starter. We already had one actor, we don't need another.
Among the Republicans, I think McCain would make a good President too. He speaks the truth and sticks to his guns and is as unpartisian as possible for a Republican.
However, in the end I'm still pulling for Obama, and hope that we don't have a Republican in office for generations.
P.S. - Who is 'the beast' that killed Vincent Foster? Clinton??? I'd take Clinton over Huckabee any day. Anyone who believes in inteligent design is not fit to be the President of the U.S., let alone the leader of anything other than a group of crazy evangelicals.
I agree about Romney. I also think he knows what it is like to be harrassed because of his religious beliefs. He probably is more open-minded because of this.
That's a tough one! I think I might have to say Mitt Romney, only because his views on abortion, health care and civil rights were very Democratic leaning until he decided to run for President. He may publicly say he's against these things now, but at least he could view these issues from both sides of the fence, as opposed to being some kind of moronic, one-dimensional, stubborn puppet (like our current President). Bloomberg did the same thing here in NYC. He changed his party affiliation so he could clear the primary.
Since we should all have an open mind here, if we had to vote for a Republican, who would you vote for? It should be rather hard to find one worse then Bush 43.
