    I'll bet my retirement savings against yours that I'm older than you are.

    It is exactly true I have a church membership full of them. my own insurance has a 9 thousand dollar deductible for a family of five. It costs an arm and two legs. That is not normal insurance. It is nothing more than catastrophic insurance.

    You must get your insurance through the church as a group policy, correct?

    My brother pastored a small poor SBC church for 7 years and he was never provided insurance either by the church or the SBC. He left a 10-year career as a corporate financial analyst because he felt the call to the ministry and got an MDIV from the SBS to go along with his MBA/MA Econ. He didn't have health insurance for 15 years because of a pre-existing condition. He finally got insurance through Obamacare.

    I'm retired after a 40 year career in engineering, first with a NASA contractor and then for 38 years with AT&T related companies (Bell Labs, Bellcore, AT&T, AT&T Labs, Cingular and AT&T Mobility). One of the things I'm proudest of was acting as the lead Bell Labs engineer for the initial introduction of Enhanced 911 in St. Louis and Orlando. One night somebody tried to kick in my mother's front door. She remembered me talking about what I was working on, dialed 911 and the police arrived almost immediately. I think my work contributed to a lot of good outcomes like this one in America.

    I AGREE FTW. I am an independent (small "i"). I was a JFK Democrat until Roe vs. Wade after which the DNC made pro-choice part of their platform. Both major parties have failed miserably on this and several other social issues.

    I have no problem with entitlements for those who are actually needy and not free-loaders/frauds.

    I would have had no problem at all if the RNC had decided to repair Obamacare and even called it Obamacare 2.0.How much time, effort and money would have been saved? IMO BUSHELS!

    It seems you are saying a "true" Christian could not possibly vote for anyone who is pro-abortion then since they would be abhorrent over any support for abortion...correct?

    There is a much better chance he will win reelection that people think. Finally a President that does what he says which we have not had since Reagan. The media hates Trump more than they did Nixon. His approval rating is meaningless. On the night before the election, the same pollsters gave Trump a 20% chance of winning. He is here for four years at least. I am all for his programs for the most part. He needs to stop picking fights with people that are irrelevant, like Arnold who took over his reality show. The liberals (including Republicans) are on the retreat. I feel sorry for anyone who relies on any info from the media to base a decision in reality.

    I see Trump as being closer to Jimmy Carter in the sense that Carter was an outsider and refused to kowtow to his own Party in seeking policy change. In his four years of office nothing of value, other than the Camp David Accords, took place. Carter received no help from Congress, which lead to Reagan. Trump may be a four year lame duck President as congress and the media work to derail anything he attempts to do.

    LOL! Thank you for my laugh of the day. Unfortunately, pollsters have been exposed and humiliated as complete frauds. But please keep citing them.

    The most important poll is if he is doing what God wanted him to do when elected as president!

    If you think back to Obama's campaign speeches, he said over and over he was going to fundamentally change America. I believe he did do as he said he would do. With huge government intrusions, gay marriage and dividing the country by firing up racism again. And many here voted for him....

    "Murder of the needy"? He's trying out for drama queen.

    Now, murder of an innocent babe? He'd vote for anyone that is in favor of that one.

    If you wanted to have the perfect situation to when we pretty much abandoned our ideals, that was it!

    I haven't seen any evidence of that yet. Poll result = 0.
