Granted, he didn't go the extra mile to investigate the situation. How many of these candidates do you think have anything to do with things like landscaping crews that rake their leaves? When you consider his immigration record I think he has a right to challenge some of his opponents on...

No, I didn't see the P.S. until I'd responded already. Anyway, I'm not referring to any man born during that time, but I'm not implying a virgin birth either. I'm saying a specific man called Jesus of Nazareth who's life resulted in what we now call Christianity. Whether he was the product...

I don't blame anyone for being skeptical. As I've made abundantly clear here, I don't accept 100% of what others here claim about Jesus either, but that doesn't change the fact that he existed. Christians would respond to your above statement by saying, of course the story of Jesus predates...

It's a simple fact that a great many widely acclaimed biblical historians aren't Christian. While many seek to prove the validity of biblical texts, others try to disprove the stated occurrences. In both cases they almost unanimously agree that the man called Jesus of Nazareth did in fact exist.

To my knowledge we don't have any original prose from Alexander the Great. Rather we have a bunch of writings about him which paint very conflicting views of who he was, written years after the fact. To this day there aren't any firsthand accounts of him, yet his existence is said to be...

That is a ridiculous argument that in my opinion lends credibility to his anti-illegal-immigrant stance. He acknowledges that he made it clear to the company that he wouldn't accept their practice of employing illegals. He was assured that they wouldn't. When he was informed that they were...

I understand your skepticism, but you should realize that Christians are all making that same statement in support of their beliefs. LOL :) Ironic how discovering Jesus' bones would finally convince people like you that he is real, while at the same time convincing many Christians that he...

Wow. I didn't think I had ever met anyone who still argued the non-existence of Jesus of Nazareth. I'll quote Dr. Micheal Grant of Cambridge. “To sum up, modern critical methods fail to support the Christ-myth theory. It has ‘again and again been answered and annihilated by first...

I dont understand your first point. I already indicated that he is pro-life and only switched to pro-choice to win the election in Mass. Even then, he always acted in favor of pro-life while in office. Sorry. I don't mean to be too rude, but I decided a while ago that anyone mentioning the...

I don't want to sound skeptical here, because I really do like Ron Paul, but.... I'd heard a ton of hype about this launch and had assumed that it would be a big event. I've searched for pictures of the launch and haven't found any showing more than 20 people in attendance. Some even show...

Wait a mintue here! Are you talking about Huckabee? He wants to stop immigration? Huckabee has a history until a couple weeks ago of being incredibly soft on immigration. Government funds for college tuition for illegals in Arkansas. Implying that deportation of illegals isn't the right...

These numbers are referring to people who were either declared exempt from federal tax thoughout the year, or were >100% returned the money they had paid towards federal tax. Essentially, the federal tax deductions, credits, and exemptions are large enough to eliminate the federal tax...

This isn't my thread but I can provide a link. http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/1410.html

Wouldn't that be nice. :) Unfortunately, I think it is us RP supporters who are in for the awakening when the first few primaries are in and Paul still sits at only 5-10% of the vote. A valiant effort though.

:D If nothing else, the RP supporters will revolutionize the future of presidential campaigning.

Far too many candidates I think is the biggest problem. Given the amount of time candidates have been campaigning now, the field should've been restricted to anyone with greater than 5% in the polls. With this many participants it isn't a debate, it is question and answer with many of the...

I really like RP, but most of what you said is spot on. Did anyone ever watch that movie with Robin Williams as a talk show host running for president? Same situation. RP gets support from two crowds. 1- Places like ET that are filled with people who are familiar with finance and the...

I thought he would start to make a big run given the amount of money he's raised, but more and more it seems that he's being pushed aside. It's sad. I commend the guy on sticking to his guns and screaming what needs to be said. But my experience last night sums it up, when my wife and I...

By not going anywhere, do you mean not progressing, or not leaving?

I actually liked several things about him before, but his "performance" last night was one of his worst. Alan Keyes was the best by far. LOL But seriously, I did actually like Huckabee until I start reading into his record. Social conservative, fiscal LIBERAL. I didn't realize that he...
