Any knuckle-draggers here going to vote Republican?

Besides me, I mean. I'm just not feeling much love here for the Grand Old Party. Four more years of Obama...?

And vote for the worsening of our economy through the loss of government jobs and further stress on state budgets.

Obama is big disappointment as well- he’s like Bush III in actual action.

Of course you wouldn’t expect me to vote Repub.

Frankly, I wish there were better choices. I know about Obama and don't like some of his stances. I just don't trust Romney between his Mormonism that he won't discuss and his finances about which he won't be open. It's really a tough choice.

The "know me" stuff on Obama is far more of a concern than any "trust me" stuff on Romney.

Question: After last night's series of promises about "Who's gonna do whut" if they are elected, I'd like to know: If the presidential (and vice-presidential) aspirants are so cocksure about the value of their plans, why didn't they offer such advice, congressional bills, and bi-partisan support to the present administration, which, if they are right, would obviously have tremendously shortened the rigors of a poor economy?

Instead, their program has been limited to all-out criticism and attacks on every phase of the current administration's efforts to relieve the strain. Relying on revisionist versions of past endeavors to alleviate the economic problems, they have relied on contrary and perfidious accounts of such matters. It is manifest that their appeal is to the lowest common denominator of the voting public, most of whom will never check the viability of their claims.

So what's new?

That's a fascinating quote from Graham, but I'd like to know when and where he said it and see the context. All the quotes I can find by Google are just that line, unsourced (or attributing it to a Washington Post page where Graham isn't mentioned). I would like to see the context. I won't feel secure that he said that, or meant that, until I see the source. And I won't cite the quotation without elaborate caveats, for fear of participating in disinformation.

I've polled my family

Postby Stephen Fox » Thu Aug 30, 2012 2:54 pm

Of the progeny of my Grandfather Fox who can read, I figger its 18 Romney; Five Obama. Three of the Five Obama are CBF and the rest are Chick Fil A.

On my Mother's side it's about 7-4 Romney, We pick up one Obama on that side; my first cousin's daughter Dixie Lee Bearden Ford, a Mcaffee grad. She was featured in the July Bama Edition of Baps Today.

Ed: Tim, when you write "I certainly hope you'd not support a church calling a pastor who refuses to give important information to the search committee or that you'd expect they'd just take the candidates word and call him to the church without the information requested."

I need to ask; How many search committees have ever asked for your tax returns? And may I remind you that Romney has complied with the law on this question. Now can you tell me why he should go further?

And to Dave Roberts, I will ask what does Romey's "Mormonism that he won't discuss" have to do with his qualifications to be President?

Having asked that I will say I am concerned about the many comments I have heard from several sides that claim "Mormonism is just another Christian denomination". But that is the fault of many Christians of many types including Baptists, not Mitt's.
