"Of course, if you are pro-Bush, you either don't know how and when he lies or manipulates, or it's a characteristic you chose to over-look." Couldn't just write the post without getting a slam in there huh? As for "I feel that Bush falls under the second catagory for his lies and manipulations." I thought there was a saying thou shall not judge. Religious affliations of political candidates don't bother me. I can't see into thier hearts to see if the faith they profess it true or not or if they're using it as a political platform. Both scenarios are possible, I wouldn't say Bush is a true Christian and Kerry isn't or vice versa because no one except the two of them know their relationship with their God.  |

oh come on Base...It's not a slam, it's my opinion...and I have a right to it. Of course I do think of you when I think of my highly intellegent friends and why I can't see things the same as them...Base, I respect your choice, but I don't pretend to understand it. And I agree that I don't vote based on religious affiliation, that's why I was so taken aback by Kevin's comment. You're right Lizard :) |

oh and as for judging. I'm going to judge both man in every light I have access to, therefore feeling comfortable with casting a well-informed vote. Without using judgement, voting is impossible. |

I liked something I heard John Kerry say. Something to the effect that George Bush repeatedly states that "God is on our side". Which is a statement that only further divides humanity as one side being against the other and lays a claim of ownership on God. While Kerry says, "We are on the side of God" ... With that little change in wording....it changes the whole meaning ... God is the focal point and "we" are on his side ... not he is on our side.  |

Lady, I totally agree...and when he said we are all children of God, he meant the world, not the US...so much more the peacemaker, than a divider.
I haven't seen you in ages girl! Good to see you about! |

From the little of Bush's speeches I have heard I to feel he uses religion to get his way. One thing I never understood is how one can be question therefore following the commandment of thou shalt not kill but still be in favour of the death penalty? Mnea... I am not a fan of Bush. And as for your friend I found that to be pretty stupid. I find that every chrisitan has a different take on what christianity means to them. Ghost-Chick  |

Space, just a thought since I don't know John Kerry personally or your friend, but it could be that he simply doesn't believe John Kerry when he says that he is very active in his church. I mean Kerry has stated many times that he believes one thing when his voting record shows another, so it's possible that he doesn't simply take the man at face value when he says he's active in his church and devout in his beliefs. Other than that, I don't know. -DeltaRebel  |

A few years back he was unable to go to the St. Patricks day parade cause he was Jewish, now he's been playing the catholisim card for the JFK refrence  |

LOL...What the heck? First of all, anybody can go to a St. Patricks day parade ... you don't have to be Catholic. Yes...John Kerry's has Jewish roots in his family tree. Uh...so? |

Well, sorry to say but I couldn't disagree with you more. First of all...Kerry says he'd be president first and then a Catholic? So he's saying he's put God after the people. Wow, I'm sure that's gonna fly with the public and non-believers but with God, I think not. As a CHRISTIAN...he's not supposed to put anyone or anything above God. So if he can't be faithful to God how can be be faithful and honest with the American public? As for Bush, he's ALWAYS mentioned his belief in God, it's nothing knew and no one should be surprised by it. Kerry JUST STARTED talking about his beliefs and I find it totally hypocritical of him to have added the "God bless America" at the end of his speach during the debates. He's one CHESSEY, political PUPPET if you ask me. He'd never get my vote, not even if he tried to buy it.  |

I also agree with Base that the line you added about Bush-supporters wasn't needed. Bush supporters could say the same about ANYONE that doesn't see through Kerry's lies, exaggerations and inability to stand firm on any issue, as over-looking the obvious. |
