Still debating. McCain's VP pick is going to be important for me.

helen · 08-24-2008, 05:12 AM

I'm voting for McCain because I was raised Republican.

At least I'm honest.

Doesn't McCain's (possibly feigned) support for christian theocrats bother anyone?

Jack Flak · 08-24-2008, 05:37 AM

Yeah, but we haven't had many presidents of any party who didn't at least feign christian support.

I know no one can get elected without being some kind of christian. I mean that McCain seems to support continuing the anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-free speech christian moral policies of the Bush administration.

Here's the thing though. They ran on pretty different platforms in 2000, but McCain today has to pretend he's more conservative for the Bush crowd.

If McCain should manage to win the election do you think he'll revert to a moderate or will he support christian fascist legislation?

ygolo · 08-24-2008, 05:52 AM

Still undecided. Because I'm like that. I have being a Perceiver down pat.

Like I stated earlier, I will chose the side I think will be more pragmatic, and solution oriented, rather than dogmatic based on whatever political philosophy they hold.

I think he will be more toward center than he appears now. But I'm not psychic, hey may feel obligated to the fundamentalist crowd.

If I was American, I'd vote for Obama. I think I should be allowed to, since American presidents have tendency to run around the world lighting fires. Obama seems less likely to do so.
