8. Let's Be clear Mike WANTS THE RAPTURE! More than BUSH.
If you don't know what this means. Or if you don't know what this has to do with what his running for president is about.

You better get your Bible out. He most certainly has.

He KNOWS the world is no more than 6000 years old. He knows that Jesus is coming back for the "good" people and soon. He knows it's soon because : 1.Isreal is back in it's "homeland" 2.The world is full of all the signs(it always is) 3.THE BOOK has told him that the time would be near and in the lifetime of the people of the generation that saw the return of the Israelites to Jerusalem.

The RAPTURE- the time right before the big WWIII when all the "good' people get lifted up to heaven(right through the clouds) leaving the rest of the worlds people to fight it out for the cheap seats(if any) left over in heaven.

So don't be charmed out of asking the tough questions. Do you really believe in the rapture? Will you actively work as president to bring it about? We know you disagree with evolution, how will this change science and technology policy under your administration?

This is no joke. This is a real philosophy and a person who wants to run our country, and seems to be gaining popularity, believes it.

Important religious and philosophical questions must be asked of all candidates who have in their past public comments shown ideologies that may be counter to the best interests of our nation and its people.

We cannot demur at the thought of questioning this candidate about these religious things. He has brought them into the public domain. His party has been at the forefront of mixing religion and politics.

We cannot now let them get away with cute off handed answers to religious questions that are directly asked of them. When Huckabee was asked in the debate "what would Jesus do?" A cute He would not be a politician type answer is not enough. Not anymore. Not from the people who forced the subject.

We are calling your religious card Republicans - show your hand.
Who thinks the world is how old and why? Do you believe the end of the world is near and why and what are you doing about it?

What does your personal religion or philosophy mean for us as a nation and our children. Our science, our health care, our education have all been adversely effected by the religion of the past president(stem cell research, birth control,) and we must do our best to at least educate the voters to what the logical policy outcomes are likely to be for each candidate and his/her philosophy or religion.

Birth control and stem cell are controversial due to their perceived relation to abortion and so the right have been able to fend off the questionable entanglements inherent in political/religious relations. But with this candidate and his past views the door is opened to question what many of them hold true but have never voiced due to it's unpopularity. Christians first to heaven in the rapture, the big war for the rest, and maybe a place for some of you "with the grace of god" in the cheap seats after the hell on earth.

Ask them. Ask them all. Do you believe in the Apocalypse? The rapture? What are you doing about it? Are you trying to save by saving souls? Excellent. Be a preacher. Are you trying to stop any such a thing from happening? Good. Run for President.

A man cannot serve two masters.
