Rutherford B. Hayes was a Muslim and he did okay.
[QUOTE=Sidney]Some one changed my word! On YouTube, I have seen Musliah say that he is a Muslim![/QUOTE] That is my entire point. Religion has nothing to do with it. Leiberman is a Jew, Romney is a Mormon, McCain is a self proclaimed Judeo-Christian believer and Obama is a Christian. None of that really matters.
What matters is their vision for the country and how many Americans share their vision.
Dirty politics are for a dumbed down crowd. I'd expect better from you.

I just happened to find this on a solar message board LDK, thought it was interesting reading. I know the part about the church he attended is marginal at best. Again just thought it was interesting reading.
Palin. I'm a bit confused, let me get this straight. 5-Oct.-08 11:08 am.
-If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic and different.
- Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers: a quintessential American story.
- If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
- Name your kids Willow, Trig, and Track: you're a maverick.
- Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
- Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating: you're well grounded.
- If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
- If your total resume is: local weather girl (sports caster) 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with fewer than 7,000 people, 1.5 years as the governor of a state with 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
- If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
- If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
- If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
- If while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
- If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.
- If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DUI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
- OK, much clearer now!
Today the first hearing with Richard Fuld (ceo of Lehman) in the "House oversight committe", this bastard tried to get away with having suffered with the stock price of Lehman, but in the end he had to admit having put away 200 or 300 million in cash. Just hope that this is the beginning to something similar in the early 2000s (Worldcom, Enron etc) Skilling of Enron, in similar position to Fuld, got 26 years in prison.
He admitted to $300 Million, though people are saying it is closer to $ 450 Million. He was also handing out millions in bonuses to the execs just days before they went belly up.
But he did say he felt " really " bad about everything that happened.

Repeating every lame rumor and getting your news from u-tube, Billy g€raham's outfit and political pundits. You are far better than this. Just write in every post---I HATE OBAMA--and skip the rationalizations. You are not a right winger nor a neo conservative. Let's face it--you just don't like anything about Obama.
That is your right. Don't sink to the level of Palin. Just tell us your personal feelings.
The Republicans have known forever that if the presidential race is based on issues I. E. Economy etc. they will lose.
If the presidential race is based on Obama, his personality, history and qualifications, they will win.
I don't think the Republicans could find a better spokesperson to plant doubts about Obama than Palin.
It is incredible that the presidential race is still in doubt. This should be a Democratic year.
The wild card is Obama. Unfortunately for the Democrats, Obama, unlike Palin, is not perceived to be a very likeable person.
In doubt to whom?
Some wishful thinking Republicans?
Have you seen the polls? Obama has had a sustained and widening lead for the past two weeks, the longest stretch in the entire presidential race. The Repub's were hoping the vice presidential debate would tweak the numbers in their favor. Some in fact were waiting for today's poll results to come out.
And they have, and Obama has a widening lead in almost all battle ground states.

The republicans now are pulling out and conceding a few battle ground states. This is a full scale retreat.

[QUOTE=Sidney]Written by Jerry Teasley of Pine Mountain, GA former Banker.[/QUOTE]Sidney -I like you and respect you - but strongly disagree with your politics.
It is time the USA moved to the left with a real dose of socialism.
I hope - it is only a hope at the moment - that Obama becomes a sort Roosevelt and introduces a new deal.
1. The USA needs to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan asap.
2. The USA badly needs to introduce a universal healthcare system. Why is ok for every other country and not the USA? Americans spend alot more on healthcare and are less healthy than other wealthy nations. Americans accept government susidising the education system but not the health care system. Bizarre. In the USA you have people going bankrupt because of healthcare costs. Incredible.
3. The USA needs to spend big on infrastructure. Bridges are falling down.
3. The USA needs to subsidise housing. The caravan parks are full. Are you not ashamed at the number of homeless people living on the streets?
4. The USA needs to increase income taxes (particularly on high incomes) and on capital gains. The gap between the rich and the poor is growing and must be reversed.
5. Anybody who thinks you can deal with the real issues without running a budget deficit that well exceeds a Trillion dollars is dreaming.
[QUOTE=InArgentina]DH please lift your game. This is a pitiful contribution.[/QUOTE]Your sister wears Army boots. You are just cherry-picking off one thing I said a long time ago. I agree with a lot of what you say in your more recent post except for the idea that increasing the deficit is good, and also subsidizing housing is not a good idea. The homeless problem stems from other, more structural issues. Nowhere ever has government involvement in housing produced good results.
