Governor BridgeCollapse's main competition will come from the tried-and-true politicians, such as Romney and Huckabee. Gov BC is building a lot of negatives in MN with unallotment, and it will be interesting how the national media reports on it... BC may be able to blame the negative firestorm on opposition politics, the way Palin did. In the end, it'll probably be Romney, with BC as vice pres... they'll be easily defeated by Obama and Biden.

Why is it that you have such difficulty with being civil? If you want to be taken seriously, then back up your opinion with facts. It does not matter if the majority of Americans are Christian; we are a secular, non-theocratic nation. We are governed by our magnificent Constitution, not by religion. There is a reason why you do not see the words "Lord", "Jesus", etc. in our Constitution. And yes, some people have "vision problems" and if that is your logic for capping, then why not cap all your words? To CAP person. Why is it that you have such difficulty with being civil?

AMERICA THE COUNTRY *IS* PREDOMINANTLY CHRISTIAN, regardless of libtards' fantasies. Sure, we have freedom of religion and separation of church and state, but that does not change REALITY: AMERICA--THE PEOPLE--ARE PREDOMINANTLY CHRISTIAN, AND AGAIN, IF RECENT ADMINISTRATIONS HAD BEEN TRULY CHRISTIAN, WE WOULD NOT FIND OURSELVES GOING UNDER. AND YES, WE PREFER CAPS, LIKE IT OR NOT. SOME HAVE VISION PROBLEMS OR REASONS WHY THEY USE CAPS. GROW UP AND GET OVER IT. To Gabriella,

The United States was not founded on Christian beliefs, if anything, our nation was founded by Deists. Do these sound like words from Christians? Thomas Paine felt, of “all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifiying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity.” Thomas Jefferson, “I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.” And after unanimous passage in the Senate, John Adams, as President, signed into law, the Treaty of Tripoli which, in part, stated “As the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” There is reason for separation of church and state, your beliefs would be prime example.
