The survey's emphasis on two issues: abortion and gay marriage was a real turnoff. Are these really the two most important issues to people of faith, or any people at all? How sad that we continue to believe that.
Voted for Obama and then my down ballot was a mix of Dems and Repubs.
I voted for McCain, scared to death by the other guy..However, I was wrong once before, it could happen again...When people ask how old I am, I say as old as the State of Israel, I sincerely hope we don't both end together..soon...:-(
I didn't vote for either McCain or Obama, as I could not stomach either of them.
In the end I went with Bob Barr. I don't agree with him 100%, but his views resonated much more closely with mine than either of the two big parties.
for the record - someone should let BeliefNet know that there needed to be another choice on the "which is the best way to reduce abortions" - some of us think that outlawing abortions would be a good thing, but that we need to do what we can to help pregnant women and thus reduce abortion in the meantime (and reduce illegal abortions if we ever get abortion outlawed)... but there was no choice for both - just one or the other or that the issue was unimportant...
I'm also not sure whether it would acknowledge not voting on just the presidental ticket as that we had voted in general, or if it then thinks we didn't vote at all...
I am a independant/republican voter , and have been since voting age, I live in Texas, and I am ashamed to know that there are people who call themselves " christians ", BUT will vote for Hussein Obama ?????? Obama first is NOT a christian, and also is self - serving I was praying , and hoping that true christians would stand up for Mccain, or for Constitution candidate Chuck Baldwin.......... ?
To me there are MANY serious issues that face this Nation, and economy , energy,employment, etc are very important.... People , we need to get on our knees and PRAY..............
