Pastors will always be pastors. I've seen in any church that they get legally manhandled for endorsing or suggesting or helping out in politcial stuff. It just doesn't work very well.&lt;br&gt;What is funny is sharpton and others get away with being activist all the time. Why not huckster's fellows?&lt;br&gt;Because Maccain and other bogus politician want to limit or have campaign reform for what?&lt;br&gt;The Huckster has proven it is not about $$$. $$$ do help by the way.&lt;br&gt;It is about what people do wether paid or not paid. Getting people to rally around and be a part of the democratic process.&lt;br&gt;AS I said, the Huckabee is doing what he has done before and is getting people to illegally campaign for him and now he is trying to deny it.&lt;br&gt;No question he is a dirty politician.&lt;br&gt;Still a funny one!&lt;br&gt;Mccain is worse. Terrible personally and has been very rudy to GOP and DEM. Has lousy policies and has done very little over the years. Let him serve but not as President folks.&lt;br&gt;Rather have Clinton Obam or Romney.&lt;br&gt;Idealogy problems with DEMS but they can still serve and do more good then some of these GOP'ers.&lt;br&gt;We really need a specialist like Romney.&lt;br&gt;Of course, some say this country is a lost cause. gonna need not just a great President but a whole new congress. &lt;br&gt;It is this 2 party system. not the way it was meant to be folks. Really has screwed things up.&lt;br&gt;Should start a blog board and fantasy politics. Put some stock into it with prizes. Be kind of fun. Give the polls more meaning too. Media is horible.&lt;br&gt;We need an ethic watch dog group. Get them for slander and bad reporting.&lt;br&gt;Get the Paparizzi too. Crazy holligans will do anything for a pic. &lt;br&gt;My pick is ROMNEY for now. Might be a DEM if this GOP'ers can't figure out who is who. The gop is messed up. Atleast the DEMS act like a team.&lt;br&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
