The Blue Board

Fsufsu, we've had some issues ITT in the past, but I have a serious question (and I don't mean this to be incendiary). Why is it important to you for the President to be Christian (or religious)? Do you think religion should play a part in the decisions that the President makes on a daily basis? Just looking to get a little conversation going.

I have to question any conservative that is drawn to Romney. 15 years ago the man ran as a liberal. Now that he is running for President he is presenting himself as a far right republican. I dont know many people that have changed their positions and views on every important issue of the day many of which go back to one's own core values.

Romney is going to try to move to the center however Mitt changing his positions is part of the narrative he is trying to fight. Plus, I'm not sure how how he moves to the center when he is so far right on issues such as immigration that he outflanks Rick Perry. Mitt's big issues are they he wants to further lower his taxes (mind you he is in the 15% tax bracket) and undoing national health care which was modeled after his very own approach.

Exactly.

First four years have not shown me much that's for sure

What throwing billions of $ away into green energy wasn't enough climate change for u. It was for me. I would rather invest in drilling more here. Imagine that a secure energy source on are soil. No dependence on the middle-east. I guess obama has to appease his FAR LEFT base over the rest of this country.

Well seeing how the cost of various types of green energy have fallen exponentially,although still relatively expensive, I'd say it is a good investment. Like I posted above earlier, domestic production of oil does not guarantee energy independence. That production is at it's highest in decades,but most of that oil is exported at the highest price(as dictated by supply/demand, free trade principles) to markets that support it like Latin America. We then import from Canada,Middle East,Venezuela and use some of our own. Whether or not you think climate change is affected by man, green energy is the future. It's price will come down and it's benefits profitized. I see green as in dollars my friend and so do all the investors who have increased investment,production, and research into that energy sector.

And sadly, we are still waiting for a bottoming out. It's a big drag on the economy.

Pretty awesome thread all things considered. Keep it up guys.

The biggest issue in Christianity is folks putting on a show for a few minutes to convince people they're Christians and then smearing the name of Christ with the other 99% of their lives. If Obama is quoting Jesus then I hope he continues. But the man's position on abortion alone confirms he does not have Christ in him.

We all know why Obama is playing the Jesus card. It's election year bro.

I laughed at that. Haha.

Anyone who can be deceived by Joseph Smith is someone who's judgement should clearly be questioned. Also, I never said I would vote for Huntsman. He is just the only one close to being worth voting for. I also think he is a more of a deist than mormon and yes I know he claims to be mormon.

Mittens is getting smoked tonight.
