There is always a choice. Voices like yours have always whined there is no difference or choice between the Republican and Democrat canidates each election but that is false, naive, and uneducated.

There is a huge difference in the Federal and Supreme Court judges that would be appointed by a Republican canidate who believes in strict constructionism and a liberal Democrat not to mention many other huge differences.

Neither canidate may represent your extremist views but at least be honest and admit that there are real and legitimate differences between the two.

Your old conspiracy theory whining about big corporations running America is amusing and the kind of excrement I have heard all of my life from nuts.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I'd be extremely concerned because I view Islam to be an especially pernicious, belligerent, and oppressive totalitarian form of government masquerading as a religion.

If that was my name that you were trying to spell NO...I believe under the leadership of McCain and Palin we would at least be headed in the right direction.

Under an Obama presidency we would see the collapse of our great nation, we would be thrown into chaos and a perfect set up for the anti-christ. Anyone who considers themselves a Christ-follower could not in any conscience vote for Obama.

Blessings, Rhoni

But HT, You and I can agree to disagree

Re: How would you feel if a Musilm was elected?

I do not plan on voting for Barack Obama.
I just don't agree with him on many things.
In my opinion, he is ultra liberal and a pawn of the Daley Chicago machine.
However, if he is elected (and I fear that he will be) I will pray for him because he will be my President and the Bible tells me to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-3)
Because of his policies and judges he can appoint,and with a Democratic controlled Senate and House I think some very bad things will happen that will affect us quite adversely. But, I believe our country will survive. This may lead to the end of America as we know it but not the end of America. Just as Christians have learned to cope under military dictatorships, under poor governments, under Communist governments, etc. we will have to trust in the grace of God and His help to survive. We can make it.
