There are many, many reasons I like President Bush and I don't like Kerry. But for me, if I had to go on just one thing, it's gonna be his abortion answer to that lady last night. He deserves to lose every Catholic vote in this country. I'm a Catholic and I've also been an altar boy, and I also have faiths and beliefs.

But he said you can't legislate them just because their your beliefs and I say the exact opposite. You HAVE to, because unless your a CINCO, your beliefs are part of who you are. And if you're a politician, and legislation lands on your desk, and you don't vote to your beliefs, then you have no beliefs and that's not worthy of my respect or my vote.

President Bush votes to his beliefs and I have a lot of respect for him for doing that. Kerry WISHES he could have character like President Bush has. But its too late for him now...even Terry Kerry's billions can't buy it for him.

I have lots of friends who are Catholic and going to vote for Yaawn in spite of abortion votes. I don't get that at all. He even voted against a condemnation of China's focing of abortion.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Ok, well I'm going to make a controversial and off-topic statement:

If people like you believe it's ok for OUR politicians to vote on their Religious beliefs, then why do so many of you same people believe it is NOT ok for Islamic radicals to rule based on THEIR Religious beliefs?????

I believe in separation of Church and State (not to the exclusion of "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, or the removal of the Ten Commandments from public buildings [because those things are traditions/institutions]).... and I DON'T want someone voting against Scientific Facts based on Religious "beliefs" (which are not always the same as facts). People either have morals or they don't. Government can't and shouldn't try to legislate morals.

(Told you it was a controversial statement!)

But back to the topic of the thread -- GREAT to see Rassmussen's numbers for the Electoral College votes. :-)
