My problem with Christianity is not with what Jesus said. My point was that Canon is trying to make Economic Justice out to be a Democratic scheme. Christ started that. He should blame it on him. That guy started it.

The most important thing about this election is that the winner will get to appoint at least two Supreme Court justices.

They are mainly too slow to get that.

Really it is not important except in dealing with social issues that dont affect most of the country. I would think that economic policy would be the number one issue with foreign policy a close second especially with Russia rattling cages and their close friends Iran building bombs. In my mind abortion and gay marriages and the other emotional topics that the Court deals with are just not that important when compared with a stalled economy and rouge foreign leaders. When was the last really groundbreaking thing that passed through the supreme court?

Gee, maybe we should stop spending 350 million dollars a day in IRAQ.

Iraq has very little to do with our economic issues. Do remember that much of the "cost" of the war is government money spent using American companies which last I looked were still part of our economy.

and the majority of Americans aren't getting infrastructure or anything out of it. Isn't our tax money supposed to help the average American, or is it just to make American companies rich?

Do you ever try to understand the real world? American companies employ American workers who spend American dollars on American goods which makes for more tax revenues for the American govt to spend.

I would not look forward to 20 years of strict constitutionalism that would have a good chance of changing the past 35 years.

i don't see that happening, regardless of who wins the election. they'd never make it through the process to get on the bench. nominating isn't the same as naming a judge.

I do. As a lifelong registered Republican who has never voted for a Democratic president or senator in my life, I'm done with the uberconservative bullshit. The GOP screwed McCain, and insulted my intelligence, forcing that useless VP choice on him. Over the past many years, although I've liked the guy, I have never seen McCain as presidential material. And he still isn't.

I can't wait to cast my vote for Obama this go round.

I know you missed religion in school but Catholicism and Christianity are two different animals.

Yeah, I know. My mom has a cat named Catholicism, and I let my dog (named Christianity) chase her sometimes.

Catholocism is a form of Christianity as is Mormonism for that matter.

Your implication is that Catholics are somehow not Chistian which is entirely incorrect. Catholics are just as "Christian" as baptists, methodists, lutherans, etc. It is indeed a subset of Christianity just like the others.
