Thank God for a candidate that has both principles and personality! And that candidate is … Barack Obama. ;-)

The insiders are very afraid. Barak can tell his “faith” story far better than McCain. More and more evangelicals are saying things like: “Prolife, anti gay republican presidents have really done little for us on these issues.” Change is in the wind. 200,000 Germans can’t be wrong. Barring some huge gaff… get ready for President BHO. Question: Will he get invited to address the NRB?

I'm not sure who is saying those things. No one I know.

On issues this election, the most moderate candidate wins. The most moderate candidate is actually McCain. Obama is trying to spin himself as a more moderate figure, but any look at his platform shows he is much further left than McCain is right.

Sady, we don't vote the issues in this country.

Agree with Steve on this one. I don't want to see inside the brain. on the post…I have never voted for personality. To the Germans, Hitler had personality. So did Lenin and Castro. Doesn't mean it is best. I cringe at the rock star status given BHO. It is like listening to a love fest. Vote on principles. Vote for me. Ah, on second thought I wouldn't want that job for all the money in the world.

I think people are voting principles and personality. Personality….look at the goo-goo and gah-gah of the Obama crowds. Admitedly, when these voters are interviewed, especially the younger ones, they are unable to give you anything concrete about what Obama plans to do. Their answers are always the same, "He is going to bring change," with that aura of blind faith in their eyes. They are unable to verbalize in an intelligent way what that "change" is going to be. Part of the reason is Obama changes his positions from day to day and even moment to moment. As for debates, "content" is what concerns Obama. In a debate with McCain, "content" is what will kill Obama…this is why he hates and avoids public debates with his opponent.

The flip side of this is that Obama has given us some very clear principles…heavy taxation, universal healthcare (Hillarycare), more government controls, strip our defense, wealth redistribution (socialism), destroy our economy with increasing fuel prices by not drilling, anywhere, and destroying our unborn. These principles and others are what many aspire to from the left. So, I don't think it is just personality….liberal Hollywood, the far left elite, the secular liberal left and the George Soroce's all know what they are doing. Ultimately, they are trying to CHANGE the face of America. Historically, when a nation loses it's moral compass and respect for life…its days are numbered.

And, if that test were required of our presidents…we'd probably be back to having kings and queens, because not many of the men who have been in the oval office would pass such tests!

I'd rather not see inside their brains…it would be a terrible waste of my time…

Presidential candidates should be required to sit a test covering important areas such as (non US) history, economics, spelling, comprehension, comparative religions and accounting.

The results should be independantly reviewed and published online for the whole world to see inside thier brains.

Im sorry, I know this sounds extreme - but the US President is the most powerful politician on earth.

Goo-goo and gah-gah this Amerikan!

Did you forget that people voted for Bush because they thought he was someone they liked to have a beer with.

Talk about an aura of blind faith.

Instead of parroting the GOP talking points, why don't you read one of Obama's books and learn what he is about.

PS: I live in liberal Hollywood. You think you know us but you don't. We are hard working people who care about our families. I'm sure you also think that one can't be a Christian and be a Liberal Democrat. How dare you question my moral compass.

Jesus hung out with everybody including the pharisees but He did not like what they represented about God because they did not have a true loving relationship with God and did not know Who He really was and is. In fact if you read the Gospels very well Jesus was able to teach and preach in the Synagogues and they (pharisees/sadducees – the ruling council) would not allow just anybody to do that especially in that time of the Roman empire! It is also indicated in the Gospels very clearly that Jesus attended the Synagogue/Temple on the meeting days and it was His custom to do so – who was He listening to? What you need to understand is that the pharisees were legalists bound to the law without knowing the God who gave the law which made them become elitists and oppressive to the people while the Gentiles and Jewish ‘sinners’/tax collectors were bound to the flesh (and idols) and therefore lived lives without restraint leading to destructive behaviours and damaged relationships – both the pharisees and the ‘sinners/tax collectors’ needed a restored living relationship with God the Father which could only be possible through Jesus Christ. The difference between Jewish ‘sinners/tax collectors’ was for the most part they were willing to agree that they needed help but the pharisees did not see or recognise the need for help. Please the next time you read the bible find out where the woman with the alabaster jar poured it out on Jesus Feet.

That's the scarey part....I have. His grandmother lives down the road from me (truthfully).

Some people have their beer drinking buddies but the majority of us saw a different Bush....certainly not the feigning "masses" falling over Obama.

Hard work and love for family is very noble but does not equate to "Christian." And, yes, I will question the amoral compass of liberal Hollywood! That is exactly what Jesus did. And look, where it got Him...nailed to a cross...for you and I.
