Hillary knows how to get red state votes
strannix said:With respect, I don't know how unusual these comments are for Democrats, outside of a very vocal minority of church-state separatists. A lot of Democrats go to church, too.
Macfistowannabe said:I hope this means that Hillary will move the dems in the right direction or help them get the right perception, depending on how you look at it. I think their party is in need of a less secular appeal. Support for faith-based programs is a good place to start.

Why do you seem so opposed to faith-based programs that could make a difference in somebody overcoming an addiction? Aren't democrats supposed to support humanity by all means?Do Miss America said:
You mean closer to a theocracy?
Our government by design is secular. There is a way to hold on to your moral and spriritual foundation with out bringing religion into your government.

Do Miss America said:That being said my comment was not about Hillary supporting faith based programs it was in response to your comment about moving the party away from the secular. I think the GOP has tried to move more to a religious party and they just come off looking like hypocrites, I would hate to see other parties do so.
Seems like the major requirement to be a moron is that you're a white male. Thanks.namkcuR said:No doubt she's doing it for votes.
I would much rather have Obama run.
However, sad to say, I don't see how a country that elected this moron not once but twice, can vote a woman or a black man into office only four years later. And if these suspicions of mine are true, that should be excruciatingly embarassing for the country.
And I am a hardcore supporter of separation of church and state. Believe what you want, but DO NOT EVER EVER EVER try to impose your beliefs on me using the legal system as a catalyst.

A_Wanderer said:I wish I was a moron; morons are able to fly jet fighters doing vector calculations in my head and run companies and large states and then rise to the occasion and get elected twice to the highest office in the land. Considering that these are the prerequisites of being a moron we by comparison have no sentience whatsoever.

There is a difference between (1) becoming a "religious party" and (2) broadening your appeal to people of faith.
This has nothing to do with theocracy.

Hey A_Wanderer, I have a question, if I may be civil for a moment. Are you American? I'm honestly asking out of curiosity, because you seem to love America and be very interested in its politics, but your location says Melbourne.
A_Wanderer said:and I don't mean the conservative Liberal party we have here, I mean liberal as being one that subscribes to the principles of indivual liberty and believes that that is the ideal condition for mankind)
I do wonder though would you have as much curiosity if I as a foreigner hated America and President Bush? I suspect not.
