I am seriously thinking of voting Libertarian, perhaps.

I wish Mr. Patrick Buchanan were running for President.

None of the above. Barak is an avowed neo-marxist, the other is rabidly anti-Christian. I will write in either Pat Buchanan or Allan Keyes.

Have you heard of the fundies who have made the crazy remark that McCain stands for son of Cain (Cain who killed Abel).

Really way out there, isn't it?

Who's the Constitution party putting up this time? Could someone give a positive justification for Catholic participation in this political process?

Chuck Baldwin is who the Constitution Party is running, and that's who I'll be voting for.

Catholic justification for participating ??? OK, Charles Carroll signed our Declaration of Independence, and Daniel Carroll and Thomas Fitzsimmons signed our Constitution.

Bob Barr seems pretty good. Sorry, taking a chance on Obama getting in there, well. The only good thing I can see is the Church flourishes on the blood of it's martyers. People will turn to Christ! Sorry, don't mean to offend anyone, but that is what we have to look forward to with Obama. It won't be because of any good he does, but because of - well shut up Rose! It seems McCain could be the lesser of...oh well I won't go there either.

The biggest reason I will vote for McCain is the judges.

Neither. I'm Libertarian and staying home (Bob Barr is not really a libertarian and Chuck Baldwin too Protestant-right). Voted for Ron Paul in the primary.

As much as some might like a different sleight of candidates and while there may be ones who better represent one's views, this election will be between McCain and Obama only. Voting for someone else or abstaining makes sense if you really have absolutely no preference and see both of these candidates as equally unattractive. If you have even a slight preference for one or the other, you should seriously consider voting for one of them. In the end, that is the only way your vote counts. No one remembers anything regarding the impact of alternative candidates in past elections; what is remembered is who won and lost from the major parties.

I miss Reagan, but he was not perfect either.

I enjoyed his acting. We had a laugh for a while.

I'll be glad to tell you why Christian monarchy is a good idea!

Deliver us, Lord, from the tyranny of the Hagarenes and restore the reign of Christian Kings.
