    Why do some Christians vote Democrat?

    They frequently promote unchristian policies, but I don't think they promote anti-Christian ones. Subtle difference IMO.

    Why do some Christians vote Democrat?

    Comically Awful Survey Says 83 Percent Of Doctors Might Quit Over Obamacare | Blog | Media Matters for America Not the same survey, but I see no evidence the statistical methodology is significantly different. What I think it does highlight are worrying priorities among some physicians

    Inequality

    Just-world hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Realistically we're never going to be at equality of outcomes, nor do I think we should be. What we should strive for is equality of opportunity, true meritocracy. If that ever happens, your post will be valid, but it don't think we're...

    Correct me if I'm wrong Wolseley, because it has been a while and I might be mixing you up with someone else, but didn't you frequently used to say that if Obama was elected again then armed resistance/insurrection/some kind of coup was inevitable or even desirable? If this was once your...

    So, where does the GOP go from here? Do they: 1. Try and return more to the middle ground so they don't alienate certain demographics and turn off moderates? 2. Or, conclude they lost due to not being conservative enough, and Romney not exciting the base, and shift even further to the right...

    BBC's saying NC's gone Romney. Surprised it was ever in doubt to be honest, thought it'd have been called way before. And they've pre-emptively called the west coast and Hawaii for Obama. 244-178 by their count. BBC News - US 2012 election results

    Now it's 'internet old guy'? You've got six years on me, if your age is accurate. You're not Socrates, and your life experience is likely a great deal narrower than you would like to think. Although if you'd like to discuss your maturity and worldly wisdom as it pertains to the belief that your...

    There's no need for equivocation Mach, if Romney doesn't get Florida, he's lost. He's not going to pick up the Pacific northwest to compensate.

    A Third Party Vote Is A Throw Away Vote?

    If you're in the ~80-90% of Americans in a safe state, you might as well vote 3rd party if they align more completely with your views, because you're not changing the ECV outcome no matter how hard you try. If you're "lucky" enough to come from a swing state like I do, then your vote actually...

    Oh boy, I'm so pleased you're still around Matt. You're like a metronome in an otherwise volatile and unpredictable world; a constant 4/4 semibreve in a syncopated reality. Thank you for just being you, seriously.

    Amendment One passes in NC primary

    Bit of a side point to the main thrust of the thread admittedly, but I'm struggling to see why two people should have to explain to a third party why they no longer wish to be married. If a person has reached that decision, why should the law try to talk them out of it? We don't mediate when...

    Barack Obama Was A Foreign Student – American Media Threatened Into Silence

    snopes.com: Barack Obama's Columbia University Student ID Well gosh darn look at that. The card number is the same and everything. It's almost as if someone has taken a real image and manipulated it in some way. Is such a thing even possible? Sounds futuristic.
