Top 10 reasons why conservatives should vote for Obama

So you are opposed to honoring your parents? :confused: And you want people to work seven days @ week? :( And you think it's okay for your wife commit adultery? :omg: You may have come in too late, Mike. I just got tired of Fergie playing the Gotcha Game like he was Katie Couric.

No, no & no. They just don't need to be enforced by the government.

I hadn't noticed him doing that - but then again I haven't paid too much attention to the SB lately. It gets more and more harsh as we near the election.

Fair enough, Obama has made some comments about church and state. I'm sorry, but I don't think they're quite conclusive enough to know whether he would respect the separation or not. Due to the number of people who would not vote for an atheist it seems almost necessary for a presidential candidate to be openly religious. Obama isn't saying that Iraq is a mission from God, so at least he's keeping it sane.
I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. ~Stephen Roberts

But then, no one said such a thing. However, certain lying "secularists" falsely claim that someone said such a thing. And other "secularists" -- because they are intellectually dishonest -- will keep repeating the lie.

"While describing her family, Palin told students about her oldest son, 19-year-old Track, who is set to be deployed to Iraq this month with the U.S. Army. She urged students to pray “that our leaders -- that our national leaders -- are sending [soldiers] out on a task that is from God.”

It seems almost necessary to take being openly religious to a ridiculous extreme. That's what I fear most: a reasonably sane religious person is forced to prove their bona fides to get elected or re-elected and ends up crossing the boundary.

That's true. Bush is insane. He believes that god talks to him and agrees with him. Yech!

But Palin is perfect in almost every way.
Nah, you wish. She's got plenty of dirt in her past.

Plus, the left hates her. Even more perfect! Why do you have so much contempt for her?
Because I don't want a pitbull with a folksy hockey-mom demeanor in the White House. I want an intelligent articulate statesman (or woman). The role is too important to leave it for someone that just pisses the other side off. Watch the SNL skits with Tina Fey, especially this[^] one with Bush. They really highlight the qualities in Palin that make her so... innappropriate for the job.
Obama's plan gives me a $400 per year tax cut. McCain's plan gives me a $80 per year tax cut. Would rather be one of the lucky few to have taxes raised by Obama. (Someone on the Internet)

No she doesn't. She has one possible and entirely insignificant issue that may represent some impropriaty on her part, but probably doesn't. She is remarkably clean politically (and personnally too, I'm sure)

So no Lincoln or Truman for you than, eh?

Like Bill Clinton? What I want is a mad dog partisan conservative avenger who's one single-minded purpose in life is the utter and wilful destruction of the democrat party. You know, like they treat conservatives...

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

WE don't. Laugh all you like. But conservatives don't need to use those kinds of tactics. The truth is sufficient enough.

I just checked his profile; he's a Canadian, which explains a lot.

SB & TV, too, it seems. I just wish either of them was worth fighting about. :(

Huh? Oh yeah, Palin was a ridiculous decision for McCain. That's why SNL is having a field day. That's why some Republicans are voting for Obama.

I don't want all 10 Commandments implemented as law (though some are, as they should be)
Which ones are you opposed to? Are you against the Golden Rule as well? How do you feel about Spirituals like "Let My People Go?" Would you just as soon never hear them? Should all Priests, Ministers and Rabbis be kept from having access to broadcasting facilities so you won't accidently see one while switching channels? Do you refuse to handle cash because of "In God We Trust?" Have you quit beating your wife?

He never said he was opposed to the commandments, only to them being enacted as law and enforced by police departments. Read that line you took the time to quote again. Come on Oak, you are being deliberately dense. Define covet for me if you will. Most males covet that hot blonde that moved in down the block. They don't act on it, but covet they do. Do we arrest them? How do we prove it? He looked longer than he should? You are playing the gotcha game in this one.
I've heard more said about less.
