Mike Huckabee. Flat tax.

Todd Rhodes write in vote.  Because he will be like FDR and bring back Fiire Side Chats, except they will be Starbuck Side Blogs.

Actually, the race is down to FIVE, not FOUR.  I assume that you, like most, are excluding Ron Paul, the pro-life candidate that will bring sound monetary policy back to the country and will ACTUALLY stand for a small govt and personal freedoms.

How about “None of the above”.  I’m so disgusted with the process this year that I’m staying home.  of course, I’m a registered Independent, but in TX we can vote in either primary if we so choose.  I just have no desire to do so.  All of the remaining candidates really bother me.  The ones I liked dropped out by the time the primary hit my state.  I’d consider a vote for Hillary just to keep her in the race, but I’d have trouble with signing that paper as well. 

As for Ron Paul, he has a couple of interesting ideas, but he has little understanding of national defense.  Conversely, that seems to be about all McCain has going for him.  This is definitely the most pathetic group of candidates in my voting history.

At least Mr. Obama has the passion and charisma, but his ideas scare me, not even counting the fact that he has no plans to bring those ideas to fruition.

Here is a general question I would like people to answer for my own curiosity.  Could you, as a Christian, in good conscience, vote for someone who condones or endorses abortion?

Why can’t I ever find a candidate who agrees with me on abortion AND the death penalty AND working to ease the suffering of the world’s poor AND all the rest…

Alas…

CS, the question you pose is a problem I struggle with, too.

Here is another general question I would like people to answer.  Could you, as a Christian, in good conscience, vote for someone who only looks out for those who are rich?  Seriously, when it comes to being a Christ-follower, is abortion the only issue that we should be concerned about or hang our vote on?  Shouldn’t there be other issues that we are concerned about as well? We will never have perfect candidates.  Bush is and was no exception. We will never fully agree with any candidate.  So I (and you) must vote for the one who I believe will not only look out for my interests, but, as much as possible, for the interests of others as well.  All of the candidates have some type of experience in politics.  That’s not the issue for me. I believe it is time for a change.  Barak Obama has my vote and many others.

I understand your point.  But you may have misunderstood mine.  I believe abortion is a crucial issue and we should take heed to that.  But it is not the only issue.

I’m not voting in Ohio’s primary today.  I simply don’t feel like I have a dog in this fight.  I will vote in the general election, and I will vote for McCain (assuming he is the Republican nominee, which seems inevitable).  I see him as the lesser of two evils, regardless of who his opponent is.

I do have to wonder...this is the presidency of the United States we’re talking about.  One would assume that we would want the best and the brightest for this position.  Are you telling me that the remaining candidates are the best and brightest that we have?  Yikes.

Ron Paul. There really isn’t another candidate that I will/would vote for.  He is pretty much ignored by the masses, which is totally fine, but I’m pretty sure that in the ‘underground’ he is still the man.  If not in this election, then the next election will more than likely be determined by web technologies. 

I’m not a fan of either of the dems.  Barak talks a good game and he is inspirational and engaging.  But like was mentioned above, I don’t think that he has a really solid plan.  Although, I was watching a town hall from Ohio and he did provide some good answers, filled with a bunch of fluff that really said nothing, just like the rest of his campaign.  Billary just needs to go away.  I’m tired of hearing how many times she has had tea with prime ministers and how long she has worked for whatever cause she needs to soapbox that day.

Huck, I’d probably vote for him.  I think he has a well thought out plan.  Probably the biggest thing that he has going against him is his past vocation and his faith.  The faith that Barak has isn’t even an issue, when it probably should be.  People are gun shy for the religious right...although I do think that Huck would act with integrity and run this nation as one under God.

Who should you vote for? Montgomery Brewster!

Mike,

I say this with no harsh tone, do you mean to tell me that Bush (and the other candidates) was the best and the brightest? Yikes.  Some said “yes” when he (and others) first ran for office.  Others said “no”.

Huck -n- Chuck

Sonuva *****.  Comparing fiscal policies to the killing of innocent babies??? Come on, are we followers of Jesus or not?

I’m a missionary kid from West Africa.  The poor here in America are rich compared to anywhere else.  Don’t believe that?  Then maybe you should take a trip outside of Kansas, Dorothy.  Are we called to help the poor? Yes.  Are there truly many poor people in America? Absolutely not.  Only a dumb*** ethnocentric American would think that.

God tells us to defend the helpless.  If you call taking an innocent baby in the mother’s womb, cutting a hole in the back of its head and sucking out it’s brains through a vacuum the same thing as how the government makes policies in relation to the poor, you are one sick freak. 

I think the problem with too many Christians of my generation, (I am 24) is that they are so freakin concerned about what’s trendy at the moment, that they are spineless victims to the current fads and fashions of the world, driven by the wind and tossed to and fro.

Can we overturn Roe v Wade?  That is irrelevant. Did Bonhoeffer say, “I myself am probably not going to stop Hitler so I may as well not say anything or try to change the situation?”

Dang it Christians, who are called to be representatives of Jesus Christ, what the frick?
