Donna again "Spins" the truth; "Someone needs to take a stand for religious beliefs because that is one of the principles this country was founded on. The next president needs to lead this nation back to the basic truths and principles this country was founded on." Can someone PLEASE tell me how that works? If this is true why isn't Jesus mentioned in the founding documents? Why aren't the Ten Commandments mentioned? Donna please answer this question! You spew that crap because that is what you have been told! OK so that is the crap you spew now defend it. Not with BS rhetoric but with fact! HOW was the country founded on these principals? You make ZERO sense! How is, "...religious beliefs" ONE of the principals this country was founded on??? You have no idea that's how. You WANT this to be so, so you make up "facts" to support your story. I have no problem with religion per se, but how is anyone to respect you or your religion when you use LIES to make your case? Doesn't that offend you? Isn't religion supposed to be a "good" thing? If so then why the need to lie? Let me explain how "sane" people view our central "Founding" document ("the Declaration of Independence" since you clearly don't get how it works); The central statement is: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Where does it say, "Jesus Christ"? The Creator is simply used to give weight to the meat of the statement. What YOU people don't get is the rest of the sentence! Does the term UNALIENABLE mean a thing to you??? Together the statement means that NO MATTER WHAT... YOU can't alienate ANYONE from Life, Liberty or the pursuit of happiness. YOU take that to mean, "Well unless these people don't agree with me!" WRONG! I believe that it is clearly understood that I cannot cause physical or emotional harm in my pursuit of happiness but that doesn't mean I have to seek your approval for my actions. Remember that pesky little "Unalienable" remark. IF you are part of the mob that seeks to ban Gays from marriage, proudly call yourself a Christian but PLEASE do not defame the rest of us by calling yourself an AMERICAN. I'll leave it to you to explain to God how you treated someone that you felt superior to and used his name to wreak your evil. If you are so stupid that you don't understand that the Bible was written by Men (and I don't mean men as in mankind I mean MEN) and therefore subject to all the good AND evil that accompanies that, then you should not be allowed to vote.

I think this election will determine which side (left) or (right) get their definition of family values. If the family consists of one man and one woman for life then this person would probably lean towards (right). If the family consists of two men or two women as parents then I ask the question if we look not at our immediate needs and what we want but to the next generations and what would be best for them it might answer some questions. Such as, how many talented Americans may never live to change our nation it if they die by abortion because a candidate supports it rather than stands against it? How many children will question their parental roots one day with same sex parents having raised them if the definition of marriage is redefined? Christians, if you support better economy, healthcare as the focus over family values couldn't our economy change for better or worse under any president? What will America look like 4 years from now what could change for the better with family values, such as no abortions, kids getting the proper mentoring, and character driven father and mother (he created them male and female it says in Genesis) in the forefront of leadership? Why can't you be a Christian and a Democrat? Democrat or Republican one should support their choices Biblically? Why can't the far left today do the Biblical thing and end abortion and homosexual mariages? You can. One thing for sure about Jesus every religion teaches is he came to give life (Gospel of John 10:10) Iraq has been bad, but abortion and aids due to sexually transmitted disease have ended more lives than Iraq. Love your neighbor as yourself, I guess if you don't value yourself you won't someone else, and people don't and government (Dem or Rep) is to protect the Golden Rule whether that's a decision of war or ending keeping marriage HIV free and imposing law against abortion (murder)! t So true Biblical family (preaching now to right and left) is about sacrificing one's immediate needs for your children's, etc, and this is the next generation, our choices always effect someone else for better or worse so ask yourself, "not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."

Interesting thing about it is that Mitt Romney NEVER blasts back and attacks the Evangelicals about their faith. He's bigger than that, he's got true Integrity, not shirt sleeve integrity (Huck makes the attack ad, then doesn't play it cuz he's too much a Christian, but shows it to the press, knowing it will be aired for free). Plus Romney proves his belief that the candidates faith is NOT to be the issue for the President of the United States. Mitt Romney can help our country be great once again. He would NOT preach from the Oval Office. Mitt states facts against his opponents, he doesn't ATTACK them. The Evangelical Christians are subtley attacking Mitt's faith in their sneaky back door way. The Evangelicals will hand the nation to the Democrats if that's what it takes to beat Mitt, solely based on their differences in faith. OMG this is craziness! Isn't that pathetic? There isn't a single one of them that can convince me otherwise. I've heard their lies about Morman's for decades. They are duped into believing they can judge a man (Commandment's instruct NOT to) as long as they all do it together - about his faith. They do this same thing to the Catholics and the Muslim's and the Universalists and the list goes on and on and on and on. Mitt is a GOOD man and worthy of all people looking into what he can do to help our country. Trust him with the USA, Huck should go back to church and ask for forgiveness, in my opinion. I believe if the Jesus I know came to the US today, he would be pretty livid about the actions and sin of these Christian 'judges'.

Mitt is a GOOD man and worthy of all people looking into what he can do to help our country. Trust him with the USA, Huck should go back to church and ask for forgiveness, in my opinion.

I believe if the Jesus I know came to the US today, he would be pretty livid about the actions and sin of these Christian 'judges'. It's not completely their fault, they've been duped by the teachers like Huck and Dobson, Swaggert, Baker, Falwell, Haggert.

Yeah it worries me a bit that he is an ordained Baptist minister, but overall he seens to promote enjoying your life to the fullest a message that resonates with everyone. Plus he has some un-republican points of view like supporting the NEA, and raising taxes in some cases to better fund highway construction. I think he would be a pretty good President aa long as he doesn't bow down to the Moral Majority. Why does everyone make out Huckabee to be a religious zealot?

To highlight the stupidity of some of the above critics of the Christain right, and their statements that Huckabee places low without that vote, let me also point out that without the black vote, Lyndon Johnson would have been the last Democratic president, if even then.

Whether the current ovation is from James Dobson for religious conservatives' vote 'counting' or from Jesse Jackson for African American's interests being highlighted or women aligning themselves with Hilary in hopes of femine interests being served, the reality is that our country is diversified in gender, ethnicity and values and these differences play a part in each vote that is cast behind the booth's curtain. Choosing respresentation that reflects our personal values and national vision is core to the American political process. I would, however, appreciate more restraint on the part of community leaders in their (self-appointed) representation of a particulary 'groups' political position. I have heard spokeswomen suggesting a female gender mandates I vote for Hilary, an African American heritage demands an Obama ticket and a religious core limits my choice to Huckabee. Which watershed issue rises to capture my flag is solely my decision; I would prefer limelight leaders vote their choice and conscience and not represent me in their public comments.

As we know, our country is in critical crisis on many fronts. I will say up front that I support Mike Huckabee. I realize that all the candidates have need of growth in all areas. After the elections in Iowa I was praying about my concerns for the new president and this is what I heard from the Lord, "Remember my King David? He was a shepherd boy when I sought him out". A shepherd boy, that's pretty amazing. Then I was reminded that Our Lord said, "Man looks on the outward; I look at the heart'. I wonder if Mike Huckebee is the man who is seeking God's heart and maybe that is why he is God's man? Could it be? Also, remember David was not perfect and right at all times, but he knew how to seek God, confess his sin and receive forgiveness and instruction from Him. I think that is critical for the next leader of so great a nation. I, like many, have a strong conviction about these elections. As we know, our country is in critical crisis on many fronts.

It protects the poor, and taxes only consumption above a modest level. Bottom line, those that spend the most and live lavishly will pay the most taxes. It will make the U.S. an exceedingly appealing place to locate business and do business. Its difficulties lie in the fact that it takes away the ability of Congress to sell tax favors, and it reveals does away with imbedded and hidden taxes.
