I am not asking this rethorically, I genuinely want to understand both sides of the argument.

agenda?
Thomas Jefferson made an interpretation of the 1st Amendment to his January 1st, 1802 letter to the Committee of the Danbury Baptist Association calling it a "wall of separation between church and State." Madison had also written that "Strongly guarded. . . is the separation between religion and government in the Constitution of the United States." There existed little controversy about this interpretation from our Founding Fathers.
If religionists better understood the concept of separation of Church & State, they would realize that the wall of separation actually protects their religion. Our secular government allows the free expression of religion and non religion. Today, religions flourish in America; we have more churches than Seven-Elevens.
Although many secular and atheist groups fight for the wall of separation, this does not mean that they wish to lawfully eliminate religion from society.

Why Does It Seem That The Democrat's Ideology Doesn't Jive With This Constitutionalist ?

Maybe You Better Read The WHOLE Thing Before Answering. . . . Adams Was Right

Two Significant Quotes From John Adams --

"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other." -- John Adams

In 1786 John Adams said this: "It has ever been my hobby-horse to see rising in America an empire of liberty, and a prospect of two or three hundred millions of freemen, without one noble or one king among them. You say it is impossible. If I should agree with you in this, I would still say, let us try the experiment, and preserve our equality as long as we can. A better system of education for the common people might preserve them long from such artificial inequalities as are prejudicial to society,
*by confounding the natural distinctions of right and wrong, virtue and vice*."
-- John Adams (letter to Count Sarsfield, 3 February 1786)

The worst presidents don't get re elected with 51% of the vote.

I think these people are just mad because;

The Democrat Controlled Congress is polling at 11% - an all time low.

It's been a long time since the Democrats has a president to be proud of. FDR was the last DEM prez two serve at least two full terms and NOT be impeached.

Since the surge is working and Iraq might work out after all, our two term president might be ranked in the top 3rd of presidents all time. Not a Reagan or a Lincoln, but not a Carter or an LBJ either.

In the latest version of the children's health care bill passed by Congress, families with up to $62,000 of household income would get healthcare for their children paid by the government. Should families in the $40,000-$62,000 earning level qualify? $62,000 is three times the poverty level.

1. Why do people support a criminal US President?

a. Which law has he broken?

Bush Senior violated the Constitution as he needs the approval of Congress to make war. This he never got! What he did get was the approval for funding. His administration lied to Congress and to the American people about Iraq...about war deaths, the nature of Iraq's leadership, and the possibility of imminent danger.

Then when their negotiator secured Saddam's agreement to withdraw, they screwed the negotiator by silencing what he had done. They said that Saddam refused to withdraw which was not the case. So, the negotiator gets to know the Iraqi regime and can and will testify before a joint session of Congress as to events and observations, and Bush administration wrongdoings!

In Bush Junior's term he was advised by US intelligence and by our firm as to everything that went on during his father's term in office, yet he continued to believe the Cheney version and the lies that came from

In the current crop of pols running for president in 2008, have any of them NOT broken the law? Or have had allegations?

I mean, Obama's drug use is pretty much well documented. And Hillary has the Peter Paul mess and Whitewater among other things. Rudy is wallowing in rumors and allegations that he's involved in any number of slimy activities. THESE ARE OUR FRONT RUNNERS? What about the rest of them? Is there anyone out there who isn't a used car salesman with the title of Politician?

If a democrat is elected to president? Will that mean there will be tranquility in the United States, will we all be one big happy family?.....It's only logical that if a democrat were to be elected, all the democrats will be happy with their leadership and will and will have nothing more to complain about........, at the same time, since the republicans have a deep rooted belief that to question the president of the United States is unpatriotic and treasonous, they won't complain either........

a FEMA press conference held in CA yesterday turns out to have been a complete ruse. all of the people that asked questions have been confirmed to be FEMA employees that were given scripted questions to ask.
is this the Bush administrations idea of journalistic integrity?
according to experts this is the first time a national press conference has been known to have been completely staged.

sorry about not having a linkable source. i just heard this on a local conservative radio talk show on radio station WJFG.

Is this upcoming election more about voting against what's wrong for America, or what is right?
