To be snippy, I said what "I" am looking for. So when you say "disagree" you technically are saying that it's not what "I" am looking for. :P

Semantics aside, I'm not saying that you can separate a man's beliefs from his ideology. It would be unfair of me to expect that. But the mere fact of someone's belief in God or Christ or Allah or Yahweh or whatever is of little importance to me. I can only worry about my own salvation and it's not my place to judge anyone else's fate (unless of course they try to break into my house at 3 am). It's the candidates stance on issues (and his voting record) that are important to me that I'm looking for. But a candidate can exhibit his stance on issues without saying, "hey, BTW, I believe all this stuff because I'm a good little (insert religion here)." Believe or not, there are good people who have no beliefs. There are also good Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and everything else.

I think it's fair to say that in this country it would be damned near impossible to get elected president if one wasn't a Christian, and that is what I have a problem with. A candidates Christianity (or any other religious affiliation) isn't nearly as important as his record on standing up for and protecting the U.S. constitution. This of course means a candidate who interprets it the way I do. For lots of people in Cali it means interpreting it differently (2nd amendment).

That said, these are of course just my opinions, and all opinions stink, don't they?

If I could I would vote for Ron Paul, who I feel has great track record with regard to the U.S. Constitution. He's a Christian, BTW.

Not to get on the religious trip, so this will be all I will post, but reason would say that because the founding principles and ideology of the constitution is Christian in nature then a true constitutionalist would more than likely be a Christian. It should be a good indicator. Not that all constitutionalist have to be Christians, just that the basic ideology should match. But then again we are talking about McCain, so......:D

And Obama wants to outlaw the entire firearm.

Which carries more water for you?

Do you think Obama could succeed?

It's this type of reasoning that led to things like the NFA and the Hughes Amendment. As far as arms go, I'm not willing to settle. When the government mandates that public monies will be used to issue a M240 and a thousand rounds of ammo to each qualified citizen at age 21, I'll think we've begun to approach just getting kinda started at sorta heading back to what the Second Amendment really intended.

When considering compromising any part of the Constitution, there is no middle ground for me. None. If you can't modify or repeal it by amendment, then it means just exactly what it says.

Used is right. They been pushing a fascist agenda and destroying the Constitution to do it. "This sure would be a lot easier if it was a dictatorship, long as I'm the Dictator."-Bush Really? And Obama frightens people? The have the theory of the Unitary Executive as their whitewash for totalitarianism. They scare people into voting for them by telling voters that while their guns are taken by tax wielding socialists their children will be forced to perform gay sex while speaking spanish or submit to a postpartumn abortion. Maybe after the U.S. is taken over by the anti-christ us true believers will just be sucked up to heaven.

I agree that the Republicans generally suck on the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth amendments. This doesn't absolve the Democrats of what they've done to the Second. And they're ALL guilty in terms of the Fourteenth and Sixteenth.

Multi-culturalism is of the highest order of evil. Conservatives are right to fight it like hell. The same with all the burdensome social programs we have.

I also will be voting for Obama for the simple fact that I am not wealthy and born privileged, like most Americans, and unlike McCain. I've had work my but off just to keep the ends meeting in this travesty of trickle down economics. I don't want a guy who has never had to worry about where the health insurance is coming from or how the personal bank account is.

As has already been stated, surely you don't think Obama has ever been anything but a child of privilege.

I litterally cant stand the Bush ,Chenny, regime. Did not vote for him either time and I am proud of that fact. I am a christian and abhor what the Democratic parrty has come to stand for morally. I also work for a living and am ashamed of the way the current administration has left middle class america high and dry. I have after very little diliberation decided to vote for John Mccain. I do not agree with him on a lot things but more than the other guy. Neither Party stands for Americans any more and both have been bought and paid for.
