Right outcome. Wrong reason.
Tell us how anything the democrats would do to do better? My guess is that it will be based on greed and envy at the bottom. Materialism can be found at all economic levels.
Obama will 'give us' universal health care.
Obama will 'give us' more social programs.
Obama will put more LOCAL cops on the street.
All of these require funds. And, Obama would take money from you to feed my greed and take money from me to feed your greed. Both of us would be deing duped into thinking we are getting more than it costs us.

you know even a Democrat like myself would admit that McCain could never ruin our nation any worse than the way Cowboy W has. However, I believe that 4 more years of trickle down economics will wipe out the middle class. If our country has to be subjected to 12 years of Republican dictatorship, we will soon be like the Dominican Republic. Either filthy rich or Dirt poor, no middle class.

Did the Democrats invite a single speaker to lift up Christ at their convention. Not one. But, Joe Gibbs was very clear about the person and work of Jesus Christ... right from the floor of the Republican Convention and going into, perhaps, the largest audience ever to watch a political convention.
The democrat party would NEVER, EVER permit that to happen.

Really?
How could we?
Did you see anything Christlike exhibited last night?
I did'nt.
(and before the TRACY fans jump on, yes, I know my own behavior has not been up to par either lately)
But really
This is what we as Christians want?!
Im really dissapointed in your comments lately, tracydolls.
If you listened to McCains speech tonight you will see that he mentioned God 5 times and blessed twice. I counted just for you...lol
Anyone who thinks this team isnt on the side of God needs their head examined. Either that or they have been brainwashed by Obama.
Either way its quite a scary thought.

Actually neither John nor Cindy McCain ever said people were whiners - and unless you are a millionairess, Obama's life isn't any closer. Probably the closest to me would be Sarah Palin.
I see - so you discount the fact that Obama worked his way from modest means to go to Harvard. You discount the fact that Biden came from middle class as well and to this day still takes the same train, and knows all the workers on this traing, to DC everyday.
I guess since they're Democrats, this just does not hold anything in these parts...that's pretty easy to see...
PS BTW, Though neither of the McCains publicly stated that we are whiners due to the ailing economy - McCain's advisor IS on the record for saying this. Ie, that is pretty much the sentiment of their campaign, else he/she would have been let go.

I'd say that's a resounding yes....
Thank you tafkam!
As for the OP "How could a Christian support Mccain/Palin?" The abortion issue alone is a significant reason... that is unless you believe putting babies in a blender is Christ-like.

Thessa, I'd heard about it, but hadn't actually seen it, (I don't watch Oprah). Watching it made me so very sad for her that she has become so very deceived. And what's so scary is the power and influence that she has. And her being Obama's biggest fan and supporter, doesn't say much for him does it?

Biden is also on the record lying repeatedly about his education. I think they may have sunk the hair plugs too deep.
Biden and BO are also both on the record for wanting it legal to stab babies.
BO is also on the record saying Americans cling to their guns, religion and intolerance of people different than themselves.
You don't even know who said some Americans are whiners, yet you pretend to know that they still work for the campaign. If you don't know who it was, how do you know where they work?

"""The Governor vetoed nearly a quarter of a billion dollars of projects contained within Senate Bill 53. Establishing a budget process, the Governor focused her decisions on the Constitutionally-mandated services of education, public safety and health, and infrastructure."""
Does this mean she cut money for these 4 items?

Im with you - i can barely stand to look at her now. And that whole 'new earth' thing she did i watched some of on you tube just to see what it was and its the same thing - denying Jesus. Sad woman. Hopefully she learns the truth before its too late.
All her money on Earth sure wont get her to Heaven thats for sure. She cant buy her way in.
And no it dosent say a thing for Obama that shes his big supporter - but it certainly dosent suprise me. But i do think honestly that if he was white she wouldnt give him a second glance. She has never ever voiced her opinion so strongly about a President before this election. Imagine that...?

Where DO you get this information? Do you know that all the wars that America has fought in since the Revolutionary War, not one of them has been aggressive to gain land/power for America? Even in the first Iraq war. I have no doubt in my mind that Hussein had manufactured weapons of mass destruction. If you really want some interesting reading, I suggest you pick up or borrow some of the MANY biographies of survivors from the Iraq Hussein regime. (And I'm not talking about TIME magazine.) Far less innocent civilians have been killed than babies aborted. AND - far less innocent civilians have been killed during the war then under the regime - and less civilians have been killed by our troops then Americans on 9/11.

First, Biden, I understand, takes the Acela each day, which, according to posted rates, costs TAXPAYERS 250.00 PER DAY between Washington, DC and Wilmington, Delaware. I don't know how many days he does this. But, each week costs YOU, I and the other taxpayers a total of $1,250 PER WEEK just for his commute.
If he had a home in the DC suburbs, he's actually have to pay for that himself and it would probably take him just as long to commute to work. I know that my commute is as long or longer than his (1 hour and 15 minutes) each day. And, the people of the United States don't pay my commuting costs!
The owners of plantations knew every slave or sharcropper that worked for them. So, what does the fact that Biden happens to know the train workers have to do with how he feels about them? How could he NOT know them, doing it every day.
I have NO idea why the fact that Biden rides an exclusively First Class train somehow makes him a man of the people???? Most likely, the only non-elite people on that train are the workers! It's bizarrely democrat in its logic.
