Seriously. I never understood why being a 'person of faith' is a requirement for the job..

In order to get elected as President of the USA there are two important religious requirements:

1. You have to understand that a majority of Americans are Christians and that most pray to a Judeo/Christian God and have little tolerance for anyone that doesnt.

2. support of the state of Israel is vital to American interests.

i read, maybe in time magazine-not sure tho, it was some time ago..anyway, i read that our entire foreign policy decision-making regarding israel is predicated on the belief that isreal is the chosen land, and should it fall that the world would come to an end. it's not because we like to support the underdog, or having to do with democracy, but has everything to do with what our leaders learned in bible school.
is that really the case?

I'm going to be sick.

if that is the case, God help us.

I had never heard that before. I wonder if someone more versed on the subject could help us understand because I never have understood why Israel's fate was of such importance to us.

You make it sound so sorted and not an act of love by two people who care for each other very deeply

I have researched Mr Obama , I have looked at his record in the senate and what he did before he was elected to the Senate , I cannot find one thing of a substance that he has done while an elected offical. So far I have found not one peice of legislation that he is responsible for . He did work with law enforcement agency's to get confessions taped for all capital cases. He partnered on a bill to get WMD in Eastern Europe and Russia destroyed and created a website to track Federal Spending. He was the first to raise the threat of avian flu on the house floor and he worked to eliminate gifts of travel on corprate jets to members of congress. Thats it that is all he has done while being a Senator , now tell me he is qaulified to run the country on that modest resume , he can have your vote but he isnt getting mine.

Now it takes a reume to be president? Heck, you had me with the terrorist thing!

Bob Barr for President!

honu, if mccain were to win, but not be able to finish his first term in office, do you feel that palin is any more qualified than obama?

Thank you for saying it, Coachpants.

I'm not sure if the new movie,Religulous, will be too offensive, but it appears to have opened well

Mortimer · #75 10-06-2008, 06:36 PM

OK...I've read enough.

I'm leaving.

I've heard this too, though I'm sure there is a more official reason, I have little knowledge in this area.

What's up with this "protection" we do for them?
