Try voting before you decide to get vocal.

Mike Huckabee is my decision. He's the most conservative of the whole bunch and I think he has a good chance at winning. At first he seemed a little unsure of himself and I was skeptical as he didn't seem fit as Presidential material. But he's come a long ways now and I personally feel that now he could win. I think whoever wants this to be a conservative country and for it not to slip in the gutters then we need to elect someone who fears God.
I don't agree with all he's said, but by far he's the most conservative in my own opinion.

I changed my mind. Fred Thompson turned out not to be Presidential material... and he turned out more liberal than once thought. Besides. he's loosing ground in the campaign.

I can't decide between Huckabee and Obama. Huckabee is good and conservative, but Obama would be good with talking to other nations and not getting us obliterated.

I agree with Obama on just about every issue, he's a charismatic leader, and I think he'd be an excellent diplomat, like Jango said. After how badly Bush screwed the pooch, we need someone that will be able to clean up after him.
On an unrelated note:
This won't make me very popular, but even if I were still a hardcore Christian, I think it's the duty of America to legalize homosexual marraige, or at least make a way for them to enter into a union with the benefits of marraige. Most people don't agree with homosexuality, but the proposed Constitutional Amendment to define marraige as a union between one man and one woman is idiotic. Even if you think homosexuality is horrible and wrong, this country wasn't based soley on Christianity, it was based on equality for all. I absolutely refuse to support the first Constitutional Amendment that limits a specific groups rights instead of increases them.

It's going to happen soon anyways, might as well get it over with.

I love the ad that's appearing at the top. "IS AIDS A GAY DISEASE?" and gay is in a rainbow color.

Right now I have google ads that say: Are you really gay? Support Gay Rights? Take The Gay Quiz. Hall of Shame A list of companies that undermine traditional family values. GLBT Las Vegas Paris Las Vegas is the ultimate destination for gays in Las Vegas! Gay Perspective What homosexuality tells us about the Nature of God & the Universe I wonder how appropriate that is for the presidential election.

I absolutely refuse to support the first Constitutional Amendment that limits a specific groups rights instead of increases them. True, America was based on equality for all, but Jesus never equaled Christianity with Buddhisms, Hinduism, Islam, etc. He said "I am the truth, the way and the life." You can only enter heaven by HIM. This Country (for the most part) was founded on Christian principles. Most of the founders were Christian and OPENLY expressed their Christianity. On the way into the Senate is a drawing of Mosses and the Ten Commandments... in several other buildings (in Washington DC) are drawings of Biblical events on the ceiling. On the top of the Washington Monument are the words Laus Deo which means "Praise be to God." Washington DC is riddled with praises to the One True God. This nations Christianity is what made it great and that alone did so. If I can remember correctly, back in that time all other religions WERE allowed to be in America, though you WEREN'T allowed to force anyone else to believe as you do. That was a rule that was to apply to citizens. The Government, however, had to at least acknowledge the Bible and to his/her best to go by the laws in the Bible. Now we have people trying to take away everything Christian in this nation. If you do that you will literally deface Washington DC! One last fact. Did you know that it is Washington DC law that NO building is allowed to go higher than that of the Washington Monument. And, as I've said before, the Latin words Laus Deo (Praise be to God) is on the very top of the Monument. What does this symbolize I wonder? Just think about it a while.
