You can't be serious! The thought of a Vice President speaking in foreign languages that are not even human is not a good thing.

Does God-o-Meter who posted such nonsense profess themselves Christian? You are right, Palin can PLAY with the Republican Party, BUT Democrat women will not Vote for her, We don't need another George Bush in the White-House! What kind of woman is she? A special needs child needs a Mother's Care more then the Nation needs her for Vice President!

I believe you are mistaken. George Bush did say he was born again before he was elected during the primary. He just didn't run on the absurd lingo that Jimmy Carter did, being all words and no works. Bush was more works than words...a real plus.

Knowledge,

Bush talked like a born again, including about how faith and a conversation with Billy Graham helped him give up alchohol, but did he ever identify himself as a born again or evangelical?

If you've seen proof that he has, please send it God-o-Meter's way!

Knowledge, please tell me you're kidding or just being sarcastic.

Jimmy Carter was probably our most Christian president. He and his wife have spent their lives living the words they spoke. He has been a national figure with Habitat for Humanity (I think he might have founded it, but could be wrong). He helps fight corruption assisting with democratic elections worldwide.

George Bush has yet to show us what he will do after January 2009. I hope he will learn to use his money and influence for good using President Carter as an example.

trip08 please learn to spell and punctuate before making any more comments about someone of Jimmy Carters stature and works in life. The man talks the talk and walks the walk.
