Being from the Boston area, we have lived through the most expensive public works project ever(The Big Dig price tag is still climbing!), the Catholic Preist mess (it all started here), 2 flights on 9/11 originated here, and of course the Revolutionary War got it's start here. With that all said, I think that we can tolerate (barely) Bush's reign until 1/20/09. Just remember to vote early and often for President in 2008!

I never said that I would vote for Giuliani...I don't care for his liberal views either.I am supporting Fred Thompson for the Republican nomination as I indicated in an earlier post in this same thread.Perhaps you should have read the entire thread before jumping to a wrong conclusion and making some smart-a** remark. http://www.imwithfred.com/

Yeah but you can't say Democrats don't share your Christian values and views because many do. Religious beliefs don't have anything to do with political beliefs. Where in the bible does it support either the Republican or Democratic parties? That's one of the things I hate about our political system! People can't keep their religious beliefs out of politics. Not aimed at the voter but at the politicians.

I never said that there are no Democrats with Christian values.Please don't put words in my mouth.I was referring to the overall liberal stand of the Democratic party.There are also Republicans who I feel are too liberal for my tastes,Giuliani for one.I will continue to support the person whom I feel best represents my personal beliefs.And if you will review the history of our great nation,you will find that it was founded based on mostly Christian beliefs and values.So our politics and our religious beliefs will continue to be closely connected.If you choose to be an athiest/socialist,fine...that's your choice.Just don't expect the rest of the country to agree with your views.I certainly don't care if others don't like my views.If others have a problem with my values,that's their problem...not mine.

You are one of the few people in the military I agree with on this subject. I don't necessarily disagree with your views but if others do, I agree, their problem.

That's a line of Christian propaganda BS. Masturbation makes you go blind too if you believe that.

I have and I see through the common Christian belief that America was founded on Christianity. I can see where Christianity got implemented into our government by politicians driven on making their way everyones way. I also see all the great things Christianity has done for this country and our people. Like Napoleon said, "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.". Try reading a US history book untainted by your Christian dogma or your desire to believe that we were founded on "Christian values".
