    For sure. When it comes to republicans vs democrats, it seems they have the different subjects they focus on, but in the end have the same general goal.

  • @raspberrymuffin they never were. they'll say anything to get power. if they don't have it, they'll pitch a fit and scream and yell until they get power again. but I'm seeing this from Democrats as well. long story short, politics suck.

  • @jagara1

    Ha, for sure. Beautifully put.

  • @raspberrymuffin Sure - you're free to believe in God and go to heaven and hold office and you are free to not believe in God go to hell and not hold public office - can you detect the irony these words ;)

  • Ironic, I thought republicans were for freedom of religion. This goes to show what "the freedom of religion" really means to them.

  • I like you Rachel Maddow. Your a smart bitch. If only Bill O reilly weren't a dumb bitch.

  • Looks like half the bible belt to me!

  • @WHATradioFM, “Have you considered the possibility that His sense of justice might me more developed than ours?”

    Not when His said “sense of justice” includes things like commanding His people to turn their own kids in to be STONED to death for merely being STUBBORN to either parent (Deuteronomy 21:18–21). And that’s just for starters. How about NUKING ENTIRE CITIES if apostates preach there and anyone listens (Deuteronomy 13, last part)?

    Different sense of justice? Yes. More developed? No.

  • @AnimeSparklewitch No doubt ASW !!!!

    Cheers !!!

  • @4567pic i for one would feel much safer if all holders of public office had to believe in magic.

    its so scary :s 21st century and the majority of the world still believe in magic. not sure why ppl go to the doctor rather than pray tho. guess sometimes science > praying to a magic man in the sky.
