No candidate for the American Presidentcy can be elected without overwhelming endorsement from the Knesset!

It would therefore be prudent if, before any aspirant candidate chose their running mate they first take the trouble to establish what the prospective running mates's standing is with AIPAC.

The American voters do not desire a "man of God" in the White House! True Christian teachings might become law or mold changes in this country that are much needed, for it to survive the next ten years.

They want a man who will lie to them, whisper sweet nothings in their ears, promise them utopia by change, support the homosexual agenda, and support the radical abortion approach to birth control! The lie which calls for the seperation of church and state, when in fact, this was never a part of the U S Constitutions edict. Thomas Jefferson, while presiding as the 3rd President of these United States, merely mentioned this idea in a letter he sent to a political group in Ohio. The truth be told, Jerreson was the least godly of most of the early presidents.

The ideology of "seperation of Church and State", was formed in our government to prevent the government from interfering in the matters of individual religious groups. Hard lessons learned under the rule of England! At no time was there an intent of the framers of the U S Constitution to prevent God from playing a significant role in directing the affairs of men, either politically or individually.

McCain and Obama lack the moral bearing to eliminate the social acceptance of abortion or homosexuality, yet these two issues alone shall be the principle cause of this nations down fall. Obama will bring this nation to financial collapse.

He has already ignorantly committed to raising taxes and more taxes, in the face of ever increasing costs of living, higher and higher gasoline prices which will soon make the personal automobile a thing of the past for most of us. Both he and McCain will increase the size of government, waste trillions of dollars in worthless ineffectual policies and programs, and it will all be for naught.

It could perhaps help if an American Presidential candidate could attempt to seek election on the platform of seeking independence from Israel and the restoration of sovereignty for America!

America could then reject the worship of the Asian God on the cross and return to the worship of ancestral European deities.

Tyr, the God of rightful vengence is always invoked during worship to work against abortionists and those deriving sexual gratification in a manner nature obviously did not intend.

Those who worship the Asian God on the cross now even offend nature itself, let alone morals by consecrating Bishops who deviate from what nature intended.

Return to the path of your ancient ancestral spirituality, respect the dictates of the natural world!

Gere,or whoever else you are..get off the soapbox. America is not, (to use Weird Wally's famous word) "ruled" by Israel.

In America, we protect all speech, even the most hurtful lies. We allow a virtual free-for-all by which laws are adopted, enforced, and interpreted. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent yearly to influence this process; thousands of groups vie for influence.
Jewish groups are influential. They also largely agree that the United States should support Israel. But the notion that they have anything like a uniform agenda and that U.S. policy in Israel and the Middle East is the result of this influence is simply wrong. It is another conspiracy theory.

The United States supports Israel not because of favoritism based on political pressure or influence but because the American people, and their leaders, say that supporting Israel is politically sound and morally just.
Mostly, we make good decisions. We are not babes in the woods. We act in our own interests.

So, on every level, those who blame Israel and its Jewish supporters for U.S. policies they do not support are wrong. They are wrong because, to begin with, support for Israel is in our best interests. They are also wrong because Israel and its supporters have the right to try to influence U.S. policy. And they are wrong because the U.S. government is responsible for the policies it adopts, not any other state or any of the myriad lobbies and groups that battle daily -- sometimes with lies -- to win America's support.

Professors John Mearsheimer & Stephen Walt have presented well researched evidence to support the fact that AIPAC is a branch of a foreign government openly dictating American Foreign Policy.

The only people in America able to fully avail themselves of the full benefit of freedom of speech are thos ethat the Jewish community approve of!

Ask Professor Finkelstein, he himself has been persecuted by his fellow Jews!

The enslavement of America by the Jews is largely due to the fact that the vast majority of Americans are gullible enough to accept that the Jewish Rabi Jesus was in fact God made flesh! They have fallen for the oldest trick in the book you will obey the people who you believe your "God" favours!

Evangelicals are indeed pressing for Mike Huckabee to be on the presidential ticket with John McCain. I am one of them. Mike Huckabee is an upstanding Christian man. He has something that is rarely seen in the political arena these days - itegrity. He also is articulate, diplomatic, funny as heck, and most importantly takes a firm stand for what is right. McCain is a weak candidate, but with Mike Huckabee along for the ride I believe he can win. And a Republican win is the only hope for America!

These evangelicals speak for the vast majority of Republicans who WANT Mike Huckabee on the ticket with Senator McCain. He had the common sense answers to the country's problems. Has 10 1/2 yrs. exec. exp. He and McCain work well together, like each other, great chemistry. They fill in each others blanks execellently. Between them they go almost ALL the Republican votes in the primaries. Huckabee appeals to independents, even democrats are all ove the internet saying how they can't help but like him and are afraid of a McCain/Huckabee ticket! McCain/Huckabee for the win!!!!
