As for the Bible v. Science. Leave religion to the Bible and the Big Bang to science. Are you telling me that "heaven and earth" were literally created in six days? That God literally created one man (Adam - from dust) and one woman (Eve - from a rib) from which we are all descended? Do you also handle snakes and drink poison to prove your faith because the Bible says to? I don't have a problem with the Bible, except when a literal interpretation is taken to an extreme, or if it is used for political or scientific ends. Dear Buck,

Privatization of public schools has been tried, as has privatization of prisons, and both ended up being MORE expensive and the schools with lower academic achievement scores.

That aside, your rantings sound like those of a 14 year old with a lot of fire and only a little knowledge so let me enlighten you on a couple of things. First of all, on education, since that affects you personally. Which would you prefer, to be forced to stay in the same school you are in now or the right to choose which school you can go to, public or private? Republican's want to give you the right to choose which school you go to with vouchers. These vouchers would allow the tax dollars alloted to pay for you education to be used at whatever public or private school you liked best. Democrats on the other hand don't want you to be able to choose. They want to throw more money into the education system you're in now. Any for the record, education is not underfunded. The problem is to much of the funding for education goes into bloated bureaucracy and administration, thanks to the NEA, which supports Democrats because Democrats keep funneling the money into their pockets. And the second point is the "so called bible" as you put it, is the most scrutinized collection of documents in history. It has stood the test of time. You should try reading it sometime. In it, you will find comfort, guidence and truth. And here's an intellectual question for you to ponder. The Bible says that God, an omnipitant being that we cannot fully comprehend, created the universe. Science says the universe was created by a big explosion. Which explination do you find more plausible and why? Dear Repubsaredumb,
On this site, we don’t normally call people out for bad spelling and errors in grammar, but since you made it a point of your post to compare your spelling to Bush’s, you should have probably polished your posting a little further.

The last thing we should be doing when we have messed up healthcare,under funded school systems (this effects me personaly im in high school), a horrible economy, are in a messed up pointless war, and face a new stronger al' qaeda (im 14 and i can spell that better then bush problably can) because we invaded the wrong countries is trying to get rid of gay marriage. Many Republican Conservidives are gay them selfs but are so homo-phobic that they compensate by being as anti gay as possible. The thing is that the chances of the so called "bible" being anything more than somthing a bunch of schizophrenic people wrote are slim. I do admit that might have been alittle bit of an egsageration but you should get the point This is amazing how people beleave in the

Unlike talkshow hosts, pundits and leaders of "think tanks", govenors have to actually govern and make real world decisions. To paraphrase the old axiom, those that can govern do, those that can't get radio talkshows. The link you posted was filled with nothing but opinion and red herrings. Where's the beef? For one, Phyllis Schlafly, said this about Governor Huckabee: "He destroyed the conservative movement in Arkansas, and left the Republican Party a shambles." Phyllis Schlafly is wrong! The Republican party in Arkansas, a weak sissy boy compared to the Democratic party, was responsible for it's own undoing. They never supported Huckabee. The Arkansas GOP has been nothing more than a lobbying firm for Wal-Mart, Tyson & J.B. Hunt and they've done little in the way of building a grass roots organization for the state. Most of the other reasons for not liking Huckabee are red herrings. He didn't appoint conservatives, he needs the validation of elites, this guy said this, that guy said that...WHAT? WHERE IS THE BEEF! You should go to his web site, www.mikehuckabee.com and read Huckabee's own words, instead of listening to what somebody else says. Kathleen,
