Yikes. Now watch Elizabeth Dole get bitchslapped!
Yes. Dole has no shame. She's bitter & desperate. I donated to Hagan yesterday.

^^^^

I agree - Dole was a desp. a$$$ clinging to fake fear when she posted this ad. I thought she had way more honor than that.

As for Hagan, she came back strong. However, to me, she seems to be pandering to the far religious right when she says her faith guides her decisions. Well, in politics, the rule of law guides your decisions, not necessarily your faith. For example, you can believe in a strict interpretation of The Bible all you want in your personal life, but you cannot apply Leviticus 24:16 and call for the congregation to stone to death one who blasphemes the name of the LORD

Having said that, using your faith to help people and/or society through the rule of law is a great thing (no murders allowed is a great example). It is when you use it to take a choice away from people in a free society or use it as the sole reason to deny and/or give people rights in that free society that the problems arise. The far religious right just cannot stand it if the govt. does not officially recognize Christianity as the official religion of the US, an act expressly prohibited in the US Constitution. They somehow cannot validate their religion on their own. The govt. must do it fot them and anyone who disagrees just does not know what they are missing. The far religious right wants to stifle that free society we hold so dear.

You're excused. I watched it while working. I don't know what they showed on television prior to his nomination speech (as I was there) but if this wasn't the same it was very similar. As I said, I liked it.

Oh man, that Dole ad was priceless. I'm glad Hagan stuck up for herself like that.

I need to find Dole's email address so I can ask her if there's something wrong with the money in my bank account because I'm atheist. I always thought money spent the same regardless of its holder's religious beliefs, but I guess I was wrong.

Like, once the bank realizes it belongs to an atheist, does it immediately morph into pink Monopoly dollars that can only be spent in Hell?

Inquiring minds want to know.

exactly I watched and He is truely the man and person to run this country Barack Obama makes alot of sense and he knows exactly what is going on in the united states and as for McCain totally clueless and when I see him or here him speak and that pig palin screeching at her rallies like a banshee are totally in the wrong direction for this country we are really screwed if McPalin gets in.McCain makes George W. Bush look good and that is no compliment.Let the democrats get in and rule and try to straighten out this big mess which is brought on by the republicans and greedy wall street. It's time to take back america and that is where Barack Obama will come in and do that. We need a people president like John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton and that is what exactly Barack Obama is a people president for the people by the people will elect him our next president of the united states.



Peace,

Steve
