Let's be honest having a PM who was supposedly a committed Christian didn't seem to do much good.MrTinkleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11481091243697800529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4961169523216855118.post-1501539530569984732008-10-03T20:58:00.000Z2008-10-03T20:58:00.000ZHeh, I feel the same way.<BR/><BR/>I was actually thinking when the time comes to put in a vote for the Lib Dems. Yes I know Clegg is a self-declared atheist, but apart from their policy on 4x4s I find them a breath of fresh air.. however all the parties have their rotten apples and none are perfect.<BR/><BR/>If anything the current economic climate (which is the result of many years ignorance and greed) is an example of how short sighted our leaders are.. all of them regardless of party.<BR/><BR/>If I was American I'd be voting for Barack Obama- not that he's perfect, but I also see him as a change agent.<BR/><BR/>But I agree with your take on Palin. It's not popular to defend Palin right now but I think it's more peoples irrational response to McCain playing her like an Ace card - it was bound to come.<BR/><BR/>The left's response disappoints me over Palin - especially after all the dirt that Hillary slung at Obama and all the outrage over that.<BR/><BR/>I don't want McCain-Palin to win but I'm getting tired of all the mud-slinging. Some of it's funny but most of it is like listening to howling rabid dogs.<BR/><BR/>People are forgetting Obama is also a Christian - albeit he has more liberal values (but I don't recall anyone challenging him on creationism yet).<BR/><BR/>For the lulz I sometimes go to Richard Dawkins forums to read what the fundies are posting and arguing about next. I noticed that a consensus is building that Obama must be pretending to be a Christian so he can get votes! It seems even anti-theists want to get behind Obama but in order to reconcile their belief system with supporting a Christian they need have to convolute theories as to why he's probably an atheist.Alex Fearhttp://www.abandonallfear.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
