I personally find it quite disturbing that many of the mindless sheep who make up the vast majority of Americans base their votes on what religion a candidate is. Dubya was a nice Chrisitan boy, and look what he got us into.
Would you mindless sheep please stop wrecking my country?

"Dubya" is President George W. Bush. Instead of saying "double you" for his middle initial, he says "dubya."

Bush was not voted into office the first time. he was appointed the President by the supreme court after he cried about the florida re-counts for several weeks.

that said, i think that religion should be kept out of the government.
but that is not America, as long as we have people that will vote for you so long as you are in their "club" then that "club" will have a strong say in politics.
this is why we need laws that will limit the power of the president and ensure the freedoms of all Americans.

At LEAST half of the presidents we've had have been non-practicing, or non-Christian, and merely paid lip service to religion when they had to.
Personally I don't care much about what a President believes. I tend to be frightened off by the more religious politicians. I wasn't wild about Lieberman as a candidate....Carter was terrible, Bush is an outright disaster.....
I think I have a general distrust of people who declare their piousness too vociferously, but I really only care about their voting record and qualifications.

Christian is the known factor here. Obama is going to lose votes because his name sounds Muslim and the general population has a pre conceived idea of what Muslims do. And a Wicken wouldn't have a chance - they must sacrifice children or pets or something. So it must be just safer to stay with Mom - Apple Pie - and church on Sundays (which isn't even the sabath, as in "remember the Sabath day to keep it holy"). Go figure!

I think education and experience should play the biggest roles in the person we vote for for president. Yeah, Dubya was a huge mistake.

i've got faith on condition that it interferes with the responsibilities of the presidency and satisfying his contractual responsibilities as being a representitive of the individuals, for the individuals, and their desires of ways they choose their usa to be ruled. If somebody have been working for candidacy for the place of work of the president, i'd think of that man or woman would care to teach the individuals he desires to characterize, that he's a citizen first and maximum suitable and shows his first allegiance to his usa, via saluting our flag, it fairly is what a citizen has to understand and acknowleges via fact the emblem of our usa, and its' human beings. And in no longer doing so, he shows his first allegiance to his faith frequently else. And his allegiance to the place of work of the presidency, follows after. it is so common as that. If a candidate is prepared to place his job earlier his religious ideals as deemed needed, he would be then be considered as each and every guy who's ever run for the presidency. There will no longer be able to be any branch of theory, while concerns of intense importance are on the strategies of a president. And which could be every day. If our national risk-free practices is on the line, the presi- dent has to make rational judgements in accordance with no longer purely his perception, however the ideals of the individuals he represents. So in understanding that premise, one candidate stands proud as being unnaceptible for any place of work representing its' human beings of those usa.

It can. What a person believes informs how he/she will act. That said there are other things that would make one a good politician or leader as well. Not all Christians are good leaders ... Or sheep for that matter!

I don't think many folks care what religion a President is. There was some talk about JFK because he was Catholic but that's the only case I can think of.

LOL
It should not matter at all unless the candidate plans on pushing their religion onto the rest of us.
Dubya being a prime example.

Stop wrecking YOUR country? Im sorry. I didnt know you owned this land. Perhaps you should inform my Native American brothers of this astounding fact.
I'm just curious, who gave this country to YOU and when do you plan on shipping the rest majority of the U.S. out of the country. Did you raise your army yet? You'll need them to become dictator.
