McCain is insane. That should be his bumper sticker.
I honestly laughed when I read the extreme part.

And I'm voting for whoever the Democratic Nominee is. I'd prefer Clinton, but no matter who much I try to tell myself she's going to win, it's looking less likely.

The one thing I like Obama is that he refused to take any money from any big corporate companies, especially Exxon and other oil companies. His campaign is funded mostly on the donations from middle America.

I do admire Nader's dedication. It seems like he runs every election. Even though he never comes close to winning, he never gives up.

I might just vote for him.

What would the media say if we had gotten the majority of all American voters to write in some random person and he was elected into office having no idea what is going on? That'd be great, though it'd never happen.

Boy this got off topic fast.

I'm not impressed by this pledge, and I feel bad about the people who spammed it, but...

Who to pledge to, if not God? Men? Hah.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything, but it seems odd to me that people put their faith in men, who are historically the most untrustworthy beings on earth.

It just kind of depresses me to hear you guys talking about it like this, but I can't blame you, because Christians have given themselves a pretty bad rep, and it's really shameful that people get so caught up in themselves that they totally miss the point...

On that note, I don't think that science has any more to offer in the way of proof, but scientists don't try to force science on other people, so I don't know. I'm just rambling now...

And I think that all of the candidates suck, and we should name math after Huckabee If you were taking Huckamath, you could get either a HuckA, a HuckaB, a HuckaC, or a HuckaD. If you got an F, it would be called a Hillary Clinton.

Please tell me that someone has seen his "Huckamath" speech so I don't feel stupid.

Better men than a being who refuses to prove he exists

How about not pledging to anyone but yourself? And if they're so untrustworthy, why do you trust that they completely translated the word of God without a little proof reading?

I'm sorry, but thats funny. We're in a holy war right now, and you're going to tell me that religion is all about peace. Tell that to the middle east. (If you haven't noticed, they've been at war over religion for centuries. And don't say it's cuz they're brown..just cuz us whities kill people with a smile doesn't mean we're better.) Religion is very violent. The symbol of Christianity is a crucifix. The symbol for capital punishment.

You are forgetting religion is not subject to rules of logic or science because it's all based on "faith"
