the popular vote for bush has gone down from 54% to 52%... those hoping for a debauched society that ostracizes anyone with religious beliefs and mocks the deaths of tens of millions of babies and loves to impose social experiments on the rest of us (while making us pay for them) should have a little more spring in their collective step.

Yeah, that's exactly what liberals want. Or maybe you're being a drama queen and they just want the freedom to make their own decisions.

The Daily Show is hilarious. Al Sharpton is throwing in some pretty personal jabs, but Weld is just having fun. Good stuff.

I think it's safe to say Bush is going to win now. Thank god. All these damn Kerry smoochers can finally be quiet for 4 years now. ;)

I BELIEVE (don't quote me) a lot of the absentee ballots are going to be from troops over seas....and I get the feeling they're not exactly big fans of Bush right now.

You want to talk about being ostracized? In fifth grade I attended a public school. For some reason the fact that I was an atheist came to my teacher's attention. Hearing this news she looked at me shook her head and sighed "That's a shame."
And then in my public highschool every Friday night before our football game, the coach would lead the team in a group prayer while I sat seperate from the rest of the team. That's ostracization.

According to MSNBC, yes, they're expected to be largely in Bush's favor.

in florida, anyway. they said Bush expects to make up 90,000 more votes after the absentees.

Problem in SW Florida... the touch screen voting system is apparently having problems, they are actually on the phone with the company that created the machines/software to see why the machines are reporting wrong. The numbers aren't matching up from what is being taken at the machines vs. what the machines are reporting to the poll folks as the number being taken.

Ok, as a Brit, I'm confused. Could someone from the US explain this.

Doesn't the US constitution separate church from state? And that the Government is of the people, by the people, for the people. So to impose one religion on all the people would be excluding those people with different beliefs, and is therefore unconstitutional.

If so, how on earth can the Republicans play the religion card so heavily, and pass laws which are based on someone's moral beliefs?

Religion and politics really shouldn't mix, it's asking for trouble.

I've got the feeling that you've got the wrong feeling. It's amazing how much more optimistic you can be about the country when you are in a country like Iraq and don't watch the news all-day everyday.

Its not like the constitution has some super powerful robotic army to enforce it. Plenty of unconstitutional actions take place.

What law isn't based on someone's moral beliefs?

It's impossible to take religion totally out of our politics based on the founding documents of this country.
