Obama Chooses Joe Biden as VP

I don't understand how you can be against abortion and vote for Obama. I don't understand how you can be a christian and vote for Obama. He is the most pro-abortion senator ever. Economic issues notwithstanding.

As for the Abortion thing, time has shown that there's not going to be an outright answer enforced for it. There's always going to be enough pro life people out there to keep the fight alive. Since this is america, choice is going to win eventually even though I think its wrong. I didn't see Bush making any strong stands on it or making any changes to how its handled, nor do I expect Mccain to.

And last I checked both Mccain and Obama are christians.

I cant believe that religion/abortion is always such a big issue. I could give a shit what religion either of the candidates are. And abortion is such a non-issue in the grand scheme of things. Its not going to change, no way no how. Get over it people, someones stance on Abortion has nothing to do with what kind of president they will be. Same with religion.

I would love to see an athiest win. It will never happen because there are way too many right wing nut job conservatives. I cant wait for Religulous to come out.

They always will be, though I agree in politics it probably shouldn't be. Abortion is something I've given up on for a while though, both views on it has valid points, I just personally think its wrong. I don't think any president is really going to make a strong stand on it.

As for voting based off of open promotion of one's religion, that was one of the big things that sold me for Bush. In the end, once he got back in office he stopped sounding like a chritian and I think just went back to his true self. All Bush did by doing that before, is made me turn religion into a non factor when it comes to my vote.

The only way I'd accept it as a factor again is someone who was running did openly deny christ and said they are an athiest. In the case of this year, I'm not gonna vote for mccain because he's "more openly christian" then Obama. Because the truth is that when they're open about any opinion like that, they're doing it for votes.

Abraham Lincoln was a purported Atheist I believe. Maybe not by definition, but apparently he had religious doubts.

I suspect with minimal research you would find that many historical figures deemed themselves 'doubters' of religion.
