• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

He's really just about the only choice, if we get right down to brass tacks. The country could hardly be in worse shape after 8 years of the current administration, so continuing it on for 4 or 8 more isn't thinkable...and no third party candidate has any chance of victory, so what other choice is there?

The republicans left the Whitehouse after 8 years giving us the worst recession in almost 100 years. How soon they forget...

He seems to have at best a cartoon-like grasp of the duties of the office, the contents of the Constitution, and the details of foreign policy.

He really shouldn't be considered for the job, much less the 'right choice'.

Trump is the expression of voters anger, and there is a lot of anger out here. He is a 'message' to the establishment (which includes both parties). Whether he's 'qualified' or not isn't that important to us.

You should put that slogan on billboards.

But we seldom get to choose between two perfect choices in life, so this ^ doesn't really answer the question.

In addition, we know what the alternative (Clinton) is, whereas you are dealing only in hunches and repeating the claims of the opposition when it comes to your assessment of Trump. The choice, then, amounts to a known commodity that's unacceptable versus an alternative that is "iffy." And that brings us back to the point I made in post 2.

I hear the message, and it seems to say the republicans want a know nothing to run the country, apparently to make those who vote for Trump happier knowing their candidate is as unstable as they are....

Everybody, we owe it to the author of the OP here not just to unload the usual hate speech on one or the other of the major party candidates, so let's try to stay with the topic as it was defined for us.

How can we forget? It's still with us, unsolved after 8 years, the longest recession in American history.

Now we need someone who has some sort of a desire to solve that problem.
