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.

SEE #2-#6 Don't attack just Democrats. They didn't dream it up. The Catholic Church teaches it, and they teach it because Christ taught it. Get mad at him. As far as the Malpractice suits go, I'd be thrilled to have Lawyers and Insurance companies kept far away from our healthcare dollars. As far as the oil companies go, if you don't mind giving them forty cents a gallon in profit, then what can I say? It's not a free market situation. That's all I'll say.

Part of the theme of democratic propoganda is to preach to the 'poor' that the rich are holding them down. That they are being given a bad deal simply because they are poor without any personal responsibility. Where the theory comes from is immaterial. They subtly promote class envy and actively promote the GOP is for the rich and we are for the "middle class" and downtrodden when the fact is that it is simply a way to use emotions to win votes. The other side uses emotional religious and topics like abortion and gay rights in the same manner. It is all bs. The rich should be no more beholden to the poor as anyone else. A canidates views on abortion and religion should be immaterial.

Saying that you would be thrilled to have lawyers and insurance companies far away from healthcare and voting Democratic is basically punting on the issue.

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.

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?

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

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?

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.

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.

True but the term Christians is usually associated (at least in the media) with the "born again" or extreme right version.

Borrowed money to finance the Iraq War has cut our productive investment. Since taxes have been cut and other spending has increased since the beginning of the Iraq war, the war has been funded using borrowed money. A lot of Iraq-related costs have been borrowed from foreigners. The interest payments on this debt constitute a flow of funds from Americans to those foreigners who have bought our debt. You're gunna mainly see the very rich traveling abroad. That's because our money is worth so little in other countries.

Yess.

Jews first. Then Christians from Jews then Roman Catholics a major Christian group, then Catholic popes getting to close to the rich fellas in Europe. Martin Luther gets pissed. Protestants branch off, which branch further... they are all Christians, ie Jesus Christ is the son of god and savior.

Right Cannon?

oh yes you got the Muslims branching from early christians which branched from Jews.
Jews first. Yes?

You can't fix this. I knew you missed when you said it. That's why I helped you out with the dog, cat, n' rat. Didn't work. They got around to asking you about it.
