Who can deny that Jimmy Carter is/was a deeply religious man, yet who can deny that his presidential judgment was arguably the most defective?
Be wary of the man who wears his religion on his sleeve.

It seems quite obvious to me.
Another twit who believes that the best way to insult a person is to assault that persons choice of words. Should I now reciprocate and point out that your chosen sentence construction is incorrect?
*Yawn*
Well stated. It seems that the taliban wing is doing what the democrats are doing to Obama...is he black, black enough, etc. but here it is...he is Christian, Christan enough, my type of Christian. I didn't know that Mitt, Rudy and Fred were running for High Priest of the US. Once the only question was, "does he believe" and that was good enough.
Thank you so much for posting this ... it's funny but so sad in that it really reflects the attitudes adopted by so many on this forum lately ... if you and your candidate are not with me 100% you are a (fill in the blank) ... reading the religious and presidential election threads has become painful.
You sure had a point last night. Did you follow my suggestion and beg the mod to pull the previous thread?

Post #55 well said.
Wow! I've never seen either of those graphics. Thanks!
I agree with you completely. However, what was of particular interest was Medved's sense that Fred is not willing to make the tremendous sacrifices it takes to run and raise money. If this is true, Fred 'aint in the race, although I hoped he would be.
BTW, I was not happy that Medved was so positive about McCain - just when he seemed stuck in the polls.
You obviously missed the thread last night where FO falsely claimed that the Church of Christ was an offshoot of the Mormons. Mods finally had to pull it.
Please add me to this ping list.
"It seems quite obvious to me."
The essence of communication is in making your understanding obvious (rather than opaque) to others. Your childish anger seems to interfere with that endeavor.
I hope my sentence construction was better this time. I might point out that your second sentence is actually a fragment, not a complete sentence. I might as well point out that you were twitting me, not the reverse. I was chastising and ridiculing you. It seems so richly deserved.
Fair Opinion, be honest. From which alternative reality do you come to FR? [That mistake is completely unbelievable.]
*ping*
It's back again...
Insufferable.
And you seem to be mistaking ridicule for anger/rageful/whatever. Get a life, please!
I agree with you that sense of Medved's comments on Thompson had to do with timing issues - if he runs, will he be able to accumulate sufficient resources to mount a campaign?
Medved (along with a raft of other pundits) recognizes that the race for '08 started too soon. But started it did, and now those who want to run had best get their shoes laced!
Rockrr sez, "Run Fred, run!"
Also Hariet Miers is a member of the Church of Christ

Initially, I was angered at Dobson, but after some reflection, I began to realize that the good doctor may have actually done the Draft Fred Thompson grassroots movement a very big favor.
First of all, Dobson has guaranteed that any onus of being associated with the goofier examples of my christian brethern will never be a problem for Fred.
Secondly, although Dobson still wields considerable influence among evangelicals, they do not march in lockstep to his orders. Many are quite independent in their thought and beliefs, and they take Matthew 6:1 ("Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven) seriously. I believe any sway he may still hold over some of them is weakening, and by putting his foot in his mouth the other day, he has become his own worst enemy.
I suspect that you just cannot tolerate people pointing out your rather poor communication skills. You respond to questions by making more absurd attacks. That's the sign of a DU troll, in my book.
I am sick of people saying that Fred won't campaign.
He was losing his campaign in Tenn. in 1994 and from all accounts he turned it around in a three month period to win with 61% and the largest number of votes in Tennessee history.
