Lets all just calm down

Thanks you for pointing that out. It is important she is associated with the average blue collar American if she is to benefit McCain and overshadow his $5 million comment.

 

When people say that the only reason he was nominated is because he's Black.

After all didn't Hillary have the MOST VOTES?

But he swooned the delegates.

 

Only because she ran in two big states (MI and FL) where Obama did not run because the DNC told them they broke the rules and would not count.

He got the delegates fair and square - he is the rightful nominee.

 

Also, unfortunately our political process is not based on popular vote. He won more delegates despite her winning the popular vote. This same thing happened in Gore vs Bush.

 

I haven't heard him "use" race at all.

 

Well then I guess you haven't been listen.

Maybe that's why you're voting for him?



In talking about the power of hope, Obama also stepped outside of himself to take a look at his own candidacy in which his race could be a handicap if he were to run as the first African-American president.

"I'm a black guy running for president named Barack Obama. I must be hopeful."

 

If I were a betting man I would bet that I have spent more hours reading about and watching this campaign during the past 18 months than you have.

I will vote for Senator Obama principally for this:

If you only Knew how funny this statement is......


My Last Name is "Gamblin"

And I'm not a Betting Lady and I really don't care if you have read what ever Maybe you should STOP and read your BIBLE and let the Holy Spirit convict your heart and stay out of the world so much.

 

Too many Christian conservatives think that politics determines whether one is a Christian, or at least a "good" Christian.

It is flat out wrong to do so.

 

I totally, 100%, disagree.

The Bible is not a political handbook. It is a book that describes God's work in redeeming his universe, especially mankind, after The Fall in the Garden of Eden.

 

Wow - that is quite a charge.

I guess first we would have to decide what is 'ungodly.'

 

Yes, Roger, I am curious as to what AJ thinks is the "ungodly" position to take on an issue like a sales tax increase to build a new high school and a sales tax increase to build a conference center and promote the city like we voted on here last year.

 

I still question MI...

HOw did the DNC have the wisdom to equally divide the votes that went to Hillary and give half of them to Obama?

How do they know Obama would have had that many votes?

Obama is the nominee because it was orchestrated through the DNC...

Votes mean nothing anymore in America.

If I voted for Hillary in MI, and they gave my vote to Obama.. I would be furious!

 

Regardless of the popular vote, tt, no one had enough pledged delegates to win the nomination so the super delegates decided it. I don't like those rules but a party has the right to set its own rules.

 

That question does not even merit a response.

 

So you can't answer the question, AJ? I am not surprised. Too many Christian conservatives want to use the abortion and homosexual marriage issues to bang other people, even fellow Christians, over the head with.

By the way, I reject the idea that to be a "good" Christian, that because of the abortion and homosexual marriage issues, that I have to vote for Senator McCain, a man whom I do not trust to be the president of my country.
