Ponyboy, Meeklo was unaware that Huckabee took a phone call from God during a speech. Now he knows and is more informed because of it. What exactly is wrong with that?

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee's surge in Iowa, from single digits in the polls to a virtual tie for the lead among Republicans, has captivated the political world and prompted speculation about just how he did it.
The Fix may have found the answer: a physician from Montgomery, Ala., named Randy Brinson.
Brinson is the keeper of a massive e-mail list of much-coveted Christian voters that Huckabee is using to reach and organize people in early-voting states such as Iowa.
Brinson's list numbers about 71 million contacts, with 25 million identified as belonging to "25 and 45 years old, upwardly mobile, right-of-center, conservative households," he said.
The list was constructed for GOTV and voter registration purposes during 2004 using publicity around Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of the Christ.

Thankfully not all Christians try to reinterpret the Bible to accomodate their sins.

The surge was because of the Chuck Norris spot...

Last I checked at least Iran is a Republic at least ... yet the Saudi Monarch is just as tough on women, and we reward them with lots of new weapons and what not ... you cant pick and choose ,
but hey live and let live, I mean there is a huge outcry in the country (u.s) against Bush , there are lots of things that repress people here too, should we let Russia or China invade us to help us out ?

Sorry, not going to read this whole thread, just want to point out I just finished reading this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Founding-B…
Great book, and all the shit we're arguing about now wasn't resolved back then either, and was argued and politicked with just as much venom and muckraking as now. Kona & Dobs - two great americans!

I believe in God but I don't believe those who quote him.
- Corollary; I have no problem with God, it's what people do with him that bugs me.TheBlueOne
- I would agree with you, TheBlueOne, though we might disagree on how to define the wrong ways of using God's word.gramme

Well when they vote their "religious conscience" they are voting in such a way that they are trying to dictate what someone they have never met, and never will, can and cannot do.
Why in the fucking world does a Man, or Woman in East Jumbumfuck, Alabama care if two gays marry in West Jumbumfuck, Washington? Or if a fetus is aborted by a woman in NeverEverWillSeeYou, Pennsylvania?
Especially since the Candidate that they tie their conscience too, is never ever going to do anything in relation to those and other issues, but is simply taking advantage of them for their own agendas?
If they don't want gay marriage ... then they shouldn't marry someone of their same sex. If they don't want to have an abortion ... well, here's a novel idea don't.
And if they have a problem with their children growing up around these elements, shouldn't it be their responsibility to raise them properly in their conscience? By being not tolerant to those around you, but instead accepting other's differences?
But no. This is why a lot of, and there is no other way to say this (or perhaps I don't fail into the category I am about to write about, haha), people of faith stop outwardly practicing their religion because they look around at what "their" church is spewing out and realize that it has become filled with hate for those outside of their respective sect, and they have the intellect to think for themselves and make a rational judgment to not blindly follow whatever someone else tells them under the guise of coming from G-d.
Most of those people still are religious, they do not wear it on their sleeves, think about the actual real issues that concern the country they live in when elections come around, and usually have an IQ to reflect as such.
I can see why I never really get into these threads, because I just type and type, and don't have time to read above to see if it made sense, haha.
- NeverEverWillSeeYou, Pennsylvania. Got a cousin there. It's hilly.harlequino
- It is fucking hilly here.flavorful
- FILM ACTORS GUILD!! Lolz... I agree, dude... good luck getting that point across to those w/religion. ;)PonyBoy
- w/abortion... gay marriage etc... tax dollars (yours and my money) are in there... can't forget that.PonyBoy
- Hrm, good point about the tax dollars. As much as I make though, I don't mind taxes. I'm a fan of socialism for sure.flavorful

Just another distraction from the neocon global agenda for social and economic power, to keep joe and jane america bickering and gossiping, thas all.
- Just another cop-out to avoid accepting that Religion is going no where. 'neo-con'... lolz... STOP!!PonyBoy
- It is absolutely a distraction, they run on religion and govern on economics.mrdobolina
- actually... none of them (if we looked close enough) live up to what they preach...PonyBoy
- ... politics and religion will always be like oil and water... but they're gonna keep trying regardless. :(PonyBoy
