Knowing that George W is a "born again", could you ever see yourself voting for a fundie in a future election

Question

Personally, the anti-science agenda he's followed has demonstrated to me that we can't have a real fundie of any sort in high office.

Answer 1

No, I'll continue to vote against fanatics and morons as long as the GOP keeps nominating them. If the Democrats can't come up with anyone better, I'll vote for a third-party candidate. I'm really tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. I always feel like I'm voting against the bad candidate rather than for a good one.

Answer 2

I will never vote for a candidate again that has a fundamentalist attitude or background. It has become clear they cannot help themselves from trying to turn this country into a theocracy or a dictatorship, whichever comes first. I've had enough of the hypocrisy of the "moral police."

EDIT: And steddy? Just a little news flash: You don't have to be a fundamentalist nut to believe in God.

Answer 3

As a philosopher, I have to commend your insight.
What you say is absolutely true.

If one cannot fake reality in any way and have the results he's planned, the postmodernist fundamentalists who substitute mystic fantasies about some life to come for reality are 100% impractical--all the ideas wrong, all their programs failures, all their arguments lies, all their candidates jokes.

No, I could never vote for a fundamentalist for any office ever. And unless US citizens stop voting for Republicans, to get them to change their insane and unworkable pragmatic nonsense, we will not be able to undo the damage they have done to our once secular constitution, the balance of powers and the rights individuals used to enjoy to a much larger though imperfect degree.

Answer 4

GWB doesn't have God in his heart. if he is "born again" it is in name only and probably was a step taken to further his personal agenda. If he truly had any love of God then he could not have thrust us into a bizarre war without having exhausted every non-violent alternative. If anything the man has sold his soul to Satan. But on the upside for Bush, whatever he got for it, it was more than it was worth.

Answer 5

First of all I find your use of the general term fundie slanderous. I would vote for anyone who is a true born again Christian, man or woman, male or female. God can use people to accomplish His will on this earth. When someone tries it on his own, there is a lot of mistakes.

Answer 6

I am sad to say I voted for him the first time around... he'd been so benign as gov of Texas, I thought he'd be ok and I really hated Gore. Heck he surrounded himself with a staff that was primarily Libertarian in leaning. NOW LOOK AT HIM!! WTF? Two years left too, ugh.

No way will I ever vote for a fundie, a wannabe fundie, or one that even plays fundie on Sunday, ever again.

Answer 7

All the fundies I know are idiots. So in short, no way. There must be some kind of switch in a fundamentalists brain that turns on the crazy and off the smart.

Answer 8

Actually, the born again part doesn't bother me half as much as the symptoms of triumphalism that he shows. When you mix that up with the obvious signs of alcohol poisoning that he exhibits, it's a pretty grim combination. None of that scares me as much as the idea that he is openly supproting his family's ties to the oil industry!

Answer 9

Yes. I don't support all their agenda, but I agree on enough items to vote for many of them.

Answer 10

No. Not in the past, present or future. I think spirituality is crucial to ones humanity, but I haven't seen religion do anything but harm.
