I've stated this elsewhere....I believe in God, I do not believe in "religion" I do not go to church but my child does (with her grandmother) because it is up to HER to decide what she believes...I grew up in church and as I got older realized that its full of nothing but hipocrites and preachers telling congregations from the pulpit what to vote for. That being said......Im a republican....as another person said...the KEY issues of the party are what I believe in.
Im tired of being called gullible or misled or blind because...whoops I believe in God AND I believe in Bush, and god forbid what I think is important doesnt coincide with what others do...well let me tell some of the people that want to "blame" christians for Bush being re elected....Its not OUR fault enuff people didnt get off their butts to make a difference...Maybe its time for people to realize that belief in God is not a past time or a dead issue....if you WANT to believe that people that re elected him are all "moral" "religious" people...think again....I have morals when it comes to how I treat other people....but if I were Catholic I'd be in a confessional for the rest of my life...as would most of the other "religious" people I know...I know SEVERAL, and when I say several I mean more than about 50 atheists/agnostics that believe in Bush just as much as I do, and "moriality" and "religion" had no play in their vote for him.
I've seen posts here and elsewhere from people telling people to stop being a sheep...vote for the 3rd party, many of them from what I can tell JUST to vote for a 3rd party...somebody tell me how that translates into not being a "sheep" The people that say that are no better than the preachers (IMO) that tell their followers who to vote for bercause they want a heard of people voting for something they dont believe in JUST to take the herd in a different directions.
Im am flat out disgusted with the attitudes of the anti bush people...I saw a post (not here) where someone said

Reasonable, educated, skilled, cultured people who are pro-environment and pro-choice and who care about global community vote for Kerry. I guess you throw in some random Scandinavians (Fargo, yah, for sure) and Cheeseheads in that mix too. On the other hand, ignorant gun-toting religious rednecks vote for Bush.

Well wait just a darned minute.....Im educated, Im skilled, Im pro environment, Im pro choice....and I wouldnt have voted for Kerry if you'd paid me too
Im not "religious" I voted no on the gay marriage ban, I think abortion should be legal and I agree with stem cell research.....and I voted for Bush, HE is the man I want running this country in this day and age.
Im also for the decrim of marijuana
Its attitudes like keep getting posted here that are going to keep our country from moving forward at all.
Please quit blaming the "christians" and the "moral" people because we are proud enuff and responsible enuff to get out and have our vote count
