Evangelicals running the party?

Just last week the Dems were snickering that the "leader" of the Republican party is Rush Limbaugh, who is hardly an "evanglical" of any color or stripe.
Really, they should make up their mind. Someday, people are going to wake up and notice that their various attempts to "slime" the Republican party are inconsistent with one another.

southern evangelicals are running the republican party and I am
I believe the term you are really using is not "arrogant", but "uppity."
Why do you think Freepers are evangelicals? sm
I have to admit, that's the first time I heard that generalization applied to them.
Correct, Rev. Wright on one side and white evangelicals on the other....sm
They both spew hatred and division, not love and acceptance. Keep religion out of the whole process. This is my only reservation about Obama, being a member of this church for so long with no inkling!, but this can be said about the republicans too. I have been to tent revivals and see the furvor. Oh my! I am a Christian, but respect good people of all religions, not the radicals
Stop you evil propaganda, you're just lowering yourself to all those hypocritical evangelicals!
It's obvious your mind is already made up, so please do not force yours on us who do not agree with you one bit. If you're trying to make the rest of us swing in your direction by writing this litany of pettyness and sillyness, you're wrong. John McCain is passé...gone, okay? If I hear him talk about his military service and his tortures one more time, I'm going to puke! This is 2008, the war in Vietnam is long over and the U.S. had to get out. The Russians were in Aghanistan for ten years and had to get out with millions of their soldiers dead. This is an unwinnable war, why smarty pants can't you understand that? And Palin....oh please! She's a controller freak, she'll be running McCain if he's elected! We don't want neither one of them and you will see why come November 4th. We will not put up with four more years of aq Bush.......he's screwed up the country so bad in every way possible! Now everyone hates americans thanks to your current president. He's a Clint Eastwood in disguise. The axis of evil is America, and not the countries Bush loves to denigrade. So stop your propaganda against Barack, he's a breath of fresh air which we all long for. Biden did a lot more than McCain did in Congress. We don't need a novice from Alaska that's for sure. I'm Canadian and up here, it's democrat all the way. I suppose Palin can see the Yukon from her bedroom now? Bush will go down as the worst President the U.S. has ever had. No wonder you're all so scared and nervous about terrorists....he dared them and challendged and now they hate his guts. Let's get Barack in there and start negotiating, communicating and get the world on you side once again, like it used to be. So don't give me your crap about Barack or Joe. Bet you don't even know where Khandahar is! So stop your propaganda and keep your hateful thoughts to yourself!

I am an independent....neither party is "my" party.
THis election cycle I believe the best man is a Republican. Do your research. John McCain warned about this in 2005, named Fannie and freddie by name, co-sponsored legislation to control them. Blocked by Democrats, led by Chris Dodd..same guy now trying to fix what he and the Dems broke. Chris Dodd, #1 on contributions list from fannie/freddie, followed closely by #2, your shining knight Mr. Obama. The chickens have come home to roost all right...or should I say the donkeys. :)
That is not what HE says he is running as, it is what...sm
everyone else says he is running as.
Yes we do have the right. If you are running for ...sm
the hightest office in the land, we have the right to logically judge whether that person could reasonably be expected to complete his term. If someone has a serious disease that could affect his/her capability of doing so, we have the right to know that before we cast our vote. This goes for both candidates. Transparency, isn't that what both candidates say they are for?
Is he actually running?
Oh? Is someone new in the running?...nm
xx
We just keep running to and fro don't we?
Whatever we hear, read or see on TV MUST be fact.
VOTING A WRITE-IN VOTE FOR LOU DOBBS!!!
You obviously know nothing about running a
xx
Running it
Downhill................
I seems that YOU are running out
of valid points as you start to take refuge in bashing?!
I am not going to engage in tit-for-tat fights with posters, ESPECIALLY NOT on the Politics Board.
Your aren't running for VP and won't be
McCain camp made such as issue about Obama's lack of foreign travel, boasting about how many times he had been overseas to visit the troops, and claiming that made him a more viable foreign policy candidate. He openly challenged Obama to make his trip overseas, gleefully hoping that Obama would end up looking like a rookie. Obama responded in kind, met with world leaders, garnered open support from Iraq's president and turned out 250,000 Berliners for his speech. Not too shabby for a rookie. So, if there was so much flap over Obama's not having been overseas and how that made him inexperienced, what does it say about his VP pick, who applied for a passport last year? McCain can't have it both ways. This issue is being raised to point out McCain double standards.
Running From Reality
If there was one pre-eminent characteristic of the Republican convention this week, it was the quality of deception. Words completely lost their meaning. Reality was turned upside down.
From the faux populist gibberish mouthed by speaker after speaker, you would never have known that the Republicans have been in power over the past several years and used that titanic power to lead the country to its present sorry state.

mccain is running
quit trying to deflect the issue. McCain a poon dog.
Probably because he's running for president, no?
Where do you people live? What era? Geez.
I certainly don't want her running our country.
She scares me.
And I certainly don't want Obama running it
After what I heard at the debate, and his viewpoints on the bailout. Don't trust him.
but those 4 are not running for president! nm

If you were running for President ---
Okay, I have an idea. If you were able to run for President or even be the top adviser for the next President, what would your plans be for getting us out of this economic crisis? Everyone seems to hate Obama's plans, and nobody really knows McCain's plans, so help us out here - what would you do?
He already has. Hello? He is running for president. All sm
candidates are cleared way before the actual election. They would not take the chance of having someone elected president and then find out he fails to pass an FBI check.
of course he would say that stuff - he was running against him! nm

Yes....she is his running mate.
His VP.....she is NOT running for president. Barrack Obama is. And even saying that.....at least she has run a state and had to make executive decisions. She has been successful in her job as governor and has a high approval rating. What does Obama have other than the unique ability to flip flop on everything he has ever said and voted for.
I am running scared
Of course you are right, Obama is closet Muslim. He was been faking practicing Christianity for 20+ years, even going so far as to have his daughters baptised just to fool us. Wow, why didn't I realize it until just now.
Oh, and the Muslims really hate the Jews. I better go find an attack to live in when Obama is elected.
Thanks so much for your help in getting me to see things so much more clearly now.
If they are running for our president, we SHOULD know this...
00
I would prefer her as HIS running mate, but...
I would be fairly happy with either! I have mixed feelings about Hillary, but like I've said, I'm sure she would do a fine job. I just happen to reeeeally prefer Obama.
Running scared? Ahhhh, don't think so
when McCain loses. The only way he will win is if they cheat - which we all know is possible - just ask Gore.
Romney is not running, Biden is...
and he was talking about the guy he is running with. Nice attempt at dodging.
As for Kilkenny...she is a Dem with a bone to pick, i.e., "She has hated me since 1992." lol. On Wiki all she said was "there was some talk about banning books but she never followed through with it."
So which is the lie and which is the truth?
Thought of that, but Obama is running for the top
nm
George Bush isn't running....
and there is a democratic congress who has not done squat since we elected them 2 years ago. Are you going to vote a straight Republican congressional ticket or are you by your own description intellectually challenged?
It is a valid question.
You would think Sarah Palin is running for the top
nm
clinton not running McCain is
nm
Obama should not be in the running for the highest
nm
Go Ron Paul....now running on an independent
xx
Who cares - she is not running. Even Obama said
Out. For some reason you seem to think Gov. Palin would have been able to stop her daughter. If you want a baby bad enough your going to find a way (place) to get pregnant. Her daughter didn't consult with the parents. This is not Gov. Palins fault and even then it's not a "fault". Her daughter wanted to have a baby and so she got pregnant. End of deal! Leave the spouses and kids out of the hatred you hold for the candidates.
well that good cos she's not running for president
you all seem to forget she is not running for pres. Barack and McCain are.
That's all you got? Glad you're not running
xx
Obama is running for president of what
xx
It's funnier that his own running mate
xx
uhh... Joe the Plumber is not running for VP, leave
nm
In 3 day after running the most brilliant campaign
What part of we are in a bunch of crisEs do you not get? I for one am EXTREMELY gratified that he is the man of action we need him to be. He was elected. The electoral college members will enthusiastically cast 365 votes for him in December. On all airways and in all media outlets, he is referred to as the President Elect. He will be sworn into office in January. Get over it. You make yourself sound even more petty than Malkin. Why get so hung up over a trite technicality? Why not use your time more constructively, like trying to figure out what to do about the GOP leadership crisis/vacuum and their need for a platform transplant?
Chris isn't running for office...LOL
x
I don't care who is running the show.....
We are in deep sh&t and it's only going to get deeper......wouldn't matter if McCain was at the helm or Obama. The tax cuts, obviously, didn't work. So, we go in the opposite direction and put our fingers in our ears and hope it doesn't explode.......I really don't see an alternative. What I fear the most is a deep and desperate time of civil unrest unlike anything we have seen in the past........that is something to fear as it will only make us more vulnerable.
Sorry, but the "lunatics" are running the country
nm
Sorry - "...will be running for office in 2012". SM
We must throw the current residents of Washington out of office, including this loony-left total disaster of a President, his cronies, and also the folks on the other side of the aisle who have become entrenched in power and have been no better in representing the middle-of-the-road Americans who by far constitute the majority in this country.
Let's CLEAN HOUSE!
While you're busy running around...
...monitoring and reading everyone's minds, it appears you've lost your own in the process.
It doesn't matter what a poster writes. If you perceive anyone even trying to support the President of the United States, you automatically go into full combat alert and slam that person, regardless. This is why intelligent, productive discussions can't be held on this board: too much bitterness, hatred and playground bully behavior.
Obama won. Your guy lost. How about showing some dignity and grace (if you're capable).

No..,.actually he is very busy RUNNING our country
He is the president of ALL the people and the MAJORITY of ALL people approve and support him. AND, much to your dismay I am quite sure, he is doing a GREAT job of it!
Yup - running it straight into the ground.

Americans should stop running
for every little pain to doctors! They should stop taking antidepressants, sleeping pills, full-blown HRT, cut back on x-ray examinations, MRIs, etc....
which make them only sicker and sicker....
Don't you see that all these on us forced upon testings, too often unnecessary, is only a way to MAKE money for the pysicians?
