OH TO ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT MCCAINS CHOICE, COMMME ON DO YOU REALLY NEED TO ASK. OF COURSE IT WAS AN ACT OF DESPERATION.... AND YOU KNOW WHAT, IT IS COMING BACK TO BITE HIM IN THE A---. SHE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE REST OF HER POLITICAL PEERS, SHE HAS ABUSED HER POWER AND SHE IS NOT WHAT SHE WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE SHE IS...

PERCY.... RIGHT ON, JESUS WAS A LIBERAL AND THE RIGHT WINGERS AMAZE ME WITH THEIR SO CALLED MORAL BS. TO ANY RIGHT WINGERS I AGREE, READ THE BIBLE AND THAT IS ALL THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE SAID. HOW CAN YOU KNOW JESUS AND VOTE ANY OTHER WAY BUT DEMOCRATIC???????????????????



Who said Jesus was liberal??? Does he except homosexuality and gay marriages.  Does he approve abortions, Does he approve of cheating spouses??? Where does it say that he was liberal.

I make it a policy to not discuss politics and religion.  These are peoples personal choices and ideals.  This is what our country is founded on and our constitutional right.  I only have to say to this, if McCain wanted a woman for VP, there were several very good candidates who were better qualified.   If he truly wanted Mrs. Palin, he should have looked into "Trooper Gate" a little deeper.  The cat is out of the bag and there is less than a month to go.

Who said that liberals approve of cheating spouses? Have you forgotten that McCain cheated on his first wife with his present wife? Jesus is the ultimate liberal. What Bible do you read that you do not know that?

Look at the teachings of Jesus to know that he was a liberal. The first ultimate liberal. He taught compassion, equality, tolerance and peace. Do you not think that tolerance, equality and peace does not cover gays?

Ok, how did you find this cartoon?    <Im not quoting you, I just like the elephant and donkey>.  They didn't have liberals and conservatives back then, right?  I'm not qualified to speak on what Jesus would have really thought, but I cant imagine him approving adultery or abortion.   Just going by what I've been taught...........man, look at them animals go at it.

There is more than one story in the Bible with Jesus and adultery. You can go here for starters. NOTHING is taken out of context at this site.

Jesus believed in charity not stealing.


Please don't pay any attention to my misspelled words or typos. Sorry I'll try harder next time.

Jesus also chased the money changers from the temple with a whip and he said not to cast your pearls before swine?  I think anyone can take the Bible out of context and make it say anything they want to say.


Fact:  Jesus was the Perfect Son Of God.  He did not condone adultry just like he did not condone any other sin.  In God's eyes sin is sin.  It does not mean if it is what people call a "little while lie" or murder.


1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NIV)


(9) Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God?  Do not be deceived:  Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders,


(10) nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kindom of God.


(11)  And that is what some of you were.  But you washed, you were sanctified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


This covers a whole lot more sins than adultry and homosexuality.  Jesus loves us so much he gave his life to save us from ourselves.  Jesus does not condone sin, he made a way for us to be saved by his precious blood.  That is the mystery of the cross.

No Jesus did not approve of cheating spouces whether they happen to be John McCain, Bill Clinton, Suzy Q or John Doe Public,


I don;t understand how this has to do with McCain's VP pick?????????????? 


It seems like liberals talk of tolerance unless you disagree with THEM, then forget tolerance, forget facts, lets start slinging all the poo poo all over the place.  Jesus certainly did not approve of adultry.  He loved the sinner not the sin.  That is the difference between Jesus and people.  People have a hard time separating the two.  God in his infinate love and wisdom can do so.

Jesus does not leave the woman there. Notice he ends with the words, "Go and sin no more." Christ does not condemn. He came to save us, to give us a new life. But when we commit our life to him, the we must go and sin no more. We cannot continue to practice sin. Jesus is reaching to you with love and compassion. He is asking you to come to him. He did not come to condemn you but to save you. Won’t you let him be Lord of your life today?

If we're going to inject Jesus into this, he would forgive someone for their sins and say "GO AND SIN NO MORE".  He was against adultery, homosexuality, and all manner of sins.  Yes, John McCain sinned, but he has said many times, that he did it, and that he is sorry for it.  He's not running on a platform of adultery.  The thing you don't understand CDnurse, is that fine distinction.  Yes, we all have sinned, but if you ask for forgiveness.......it's forgiven.  You are to go on and sin no more.  There are many of you that openly admit (as Obama himself as admitted) that Obama did cocaine and pot.  As you all like to say, yes he did but he now knows it was wrong, and has moved on.  Why can't you  give John McCain the same benefi of the doubt.  I think that makes you very hypocritical.

Kelly,  I've just about run out of horrible things to say about Obama.............as far as the Muslim goes, he was in the past and since radical Islamic Extremists want to kill us, that makes alot of Americans edgy.  All you have to do is watch the news to find out trash about all the candidates and their vp choice.  Depending on which network you watch, one is evil, the other good.  I hate the biased media.  I am a Republican these days and that is based on conservative values.  I do feel that McCain is the most liberal Republican that was elected though.  I'm remembering the bills he sponsored with Kenneday, Lieberman and was the other Democrat Biden?  To me that shows he's willing to work with others in the house and senate.  The bickering of congress and the senate is bringing the ruination of our country !!  I'll always be a conservative in my values, but if a Democrat came along that appeared strong on Nat'l Defense and the Budget and believed life begins at conception, I'd be a Democrat for that election.  



i don't object to when you believe life begins, however, i think palin is a little too extreme in saying that women who have suffered rape or incest cannot receive an abortion.  that isn't in my opinion something we can force upon all women.  Obama's father may have been muslim, but im pretty sure he never was...correct me if i am wrong

JESUS LOVES US ALL, GAY, ADULTERS ETC... YES HE SAID " GO AND SIN NO MORE", HOWEVER HE DID NOT SAY YOU ARE NOT ACCEPTED. HE LOVES US ALL EQUALLY AND WANTS US ALL TO HEAL FROM OUR SINS. AND WHY I SAY HE IS A LIBERAL IS BECAUSE HE DOES NOT JUDGE US FOR WHO WE ARE, WE ARE ALL IMPERFECT AND HE KNOWS THIS. ALL OF US AND LISA THAT MEANS YOU TOO, YOU ARE NOT ABOVE SIN EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT BE GAY, AND ADULTER ETC... READ YOUR BIBLE MY FRIEND AND YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE, PERIOD. AND READ YOUR BIBLE AND YOU WILL LEARN THAT GOD DOES NOT SEPARATE SIN INTO CATEGORIES OF BEST SIN TO WORSE.... I AM SURE YOU HAVE SINNNED TODAY AND GOD DOESN'T APPROVE OF YOUR SIN ANYMORE THAN HE APPROVES OF THE ONES YOU HAVE LISTED.


AND FOR THE ONES OF YOU WHO SAY GO AND SIN NO MORE, ARE YOU CLEAN AND PURE AND SIN FREE? READ YOUR BIBLE AND YOU WILL LEARN THAT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS PERFECT IS GOD..... WE WILL NEVER IN THIS LIFE BE PERFECT, THAT IS THE GOAL TO LIVE LIKE JESUS DID, BUT WE WILL ALWAYS FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.... THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE STOP TRYING AND THAT IS WHY I AM HERE TO SAY THAT WE ALL FALL SHORT AND THAT MEANS US ALL, LISA YOU TOO. GOD LOVES THE GAY, ADULTER JUST AS MUCH AS HE LOVES YOU..... SO TURN FROM YOU SIN AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF....

OH ANOTHER THING, JESUS SAYS AND I AM PARAPHRASING, DO NOT BE DRUNK, TREAT YOUR BODY AS YOUR TEMPLE, HAVE ANY OF YOU BEEN DRUNK LATELY, SMOKED, ATE FAST FOOD. YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT YOURSELF IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE. MANY AND MOST WILL NOT DO THAT, THEY ARE TO BUSY LOOKING AT EVERYBODY ELSES SIN AND MEASURING THEIR WORTH AGAINST THAT. SORRY BUT THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS.


WHAT MAGAZINES DO YOU READ, WHAT MOVIES DO YOU WATCH ETC... COME ON YOU ALL DIG DEEP IN YOUR SOUL AND SEE THE SIN....AND THEN "GO AND SIN NO MORE"... AGAIN. LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF, HARD TO DO ISN'T IT LISA...

Is not an act of a  liberal to change or believe in things differently than the majority?  Your Jesus went against the norm of the day, thought differently, wrought changes through out the world, from his preaching and personal selfless acts.  He taught love, acceptance, humility, tolerance.

He taught those things but he also taught a lot more.  Holiness to be one.  The Great Commission also.  "Go ye into all the world and teach the gospel to every creature........................"

I hope this  link posts right.  Everybody is in an uproar about the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae crap...............McCain was involved with trying to regulate thes financial monsters!  In the article I just read, Obama and the other Democrats in the Senate refused to sign it.  I wish I understood legal crap more.............throw me in ACLS class and I'm a happy camper.  Put me up with a list of legal and government articles and I'm like an alien from Mars..     The last time I tried to cut and paste the whole article it shut down the whole thread because the font grew and grew and grew like the Staypuff Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters.

"The go and sin no more" is something that we all struggle with every day.  I certainly don't continue to be 'proud' of living in sin or sinning on any level.  Jesus was did not accept sin, but instead forgave sin.  There is a big difference on that.  Jesus did accept people, but he also told them NOT to do certain behaviors any more.  I don't judge my kids when they carelessly break a rule, I don't encorse their breaking a rule, I just say don't do it again.  Same thing.  Same difference.  But, big but, we will all be judged on judgement day.  That day will come for everyone, that is something that most religions believe on some level.

Have any of you actually read the whole story of 'troopergate', other than the liberal spin doctors ? First off the State trooper is still employed, even after he Tasered a child.  Second she fired her public safety commissioner, with well documented reasons.  Third the public safety commisioner said several months back, that he was NOT fired for anything to do with the State Trooper.  



***How did this dicussion turn into religion??Bad combo. Anyway, Have you updated yourself on current events regarding the trooper gate investigation. here is some update on that.  http://www.adn.com/news/politics/story/510080.html  , not guilty of wrongdoing, however, ethically???? and she still remains under investigation. http://www.adn.com/monegan/

Excuse me but you conservatives want LESS regulation, and MCCAIN is quoted as saying we need less regulation in Washington, of course then this happens, and all of a sudden it is good to have regulation. You can't have it both ways.  This is why MCCAIN can not and will not win on Nov 4, 2008 is because he just can't keep it straight. Well I should say his campaign managers are idiots and have ruined any chance of him winning.


I am a registered independent and ashamed to admit I voted for Bush 8 years ago, however I can not vote for McCain. I had always like John McCain until now. He is a mud slinger and I have never liked that no matter who it is about. We need to know what he plans to do and I am sorry he has missed the mark. And picking Sarah Palin just didn't do what he had hoped it would do and that is get womens votes. He thinks women are stupid doesn't he. She is alright, not VP material but I like her okay. Maybe she will someday be our first women president who knows, but she will not be the first women VP, not this year anyway.

Didnt you look at the link I posted that showed the letter McCain was BEGGING to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?  His signature is right across from Ms. Dole!    This was in 2006 and it seems alot of Democrats did NOT sign it..........maybe it's because they were afraid it would bite into their wallet.

No i did not look at it, because I have heard it out of his own mouth. Less regulation, less regulation. So maybe he is just saying that because he thinks that is what others want to hear, and if he doesn't say that then he will not be elected... Hmmmmm. Anyhow he won't be elected so I am really not worried about it.

Troopergate does not show anything was done illegally !!!    I know all about the group that met and feels Gov Pailin misused her power but apparently she isn't charged with anything illegal.   A bunch of whiners who are upset over a good old boy getting fired.  I think the phrase was 'insubordination'.   Personally, I wished Pailin's sister would be given a special pass to taser the guy who tasered her 10 yr old kid.    People are really trying to do that witch hunt!   She just should have just let her husband say and do whatever he wanted to, let the cards fall how they may..................if a man can get out of jail time from tasering a 10 yr old, what can they do to a man for a little verbal harrassment to a state troopers boss?  Hubby can go and live in the Artic Circle for monthes and nobody could find him anyhow, he's like an eskimo.
