Right, and as I said (had you read my entire post), the ones who believe in little green men with horns, and prodding you to do bad deeds are what we call extremists, and certainly don't represent the majority of any religion. The vast majority of people live in a little place we call "reality".

I never said McCain said anything remotely like that. I said that is what his connection (Parsley) believes, as an expansion on glb's statement of how "McCain's guy is scarier than Obama's guy"

Let's cut the ****... When has anyone ever said "I'm morally led by xyz person" with the exceptions of Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Jesus, Buddha, the pope, or Mohammed? 
And personally, I'd rather have an unpatriotic racist in office (wouldn't be the first) than a genocidal maniac (not naming names here... just talking conceptually). 
Anyhow, the bottom line is that we don't know that Obama is a racist anti-American egomaniac or that McCain is a genocidal maniac - we only know that they consort with people who are. But it's ridiculous for one side to claim the other party's candidate is A unless he acknowledges the possibility that his own candidate is B as well.

Whatchyou talkin 'bout, Willis? I didn't say I'd leave the country if McCain got elected.
I said I'd leave the country if we started exterminating Muslims & Arabs, primarily because I'd want to be as far away from the shooting as possible, but also due to the fact that I'm of Lebanese descent. 
PS - You don't even read my posts, do you? You just skim **** and come back with canned responses trying to get people's goats. Don't try and troll on me... respond only if you have something intelligent to say.
