Young people are turning away from reliegon at record rates and while the bible plays to the conservative base it doesn't play with the people who will decide the election.
I prefer a consumption tax as well. Politically I agree "flat" is better. By the way its tithe.

Yes, and apparently unlike you I realize they need to evolve from the bible bullshit. It's the bible thumping image democrats love to paint the pubs as.

Their support is needed along with yours. Just answer the question honestly. What is the big deal?

Asking questions is not bible thumping. Press is pushing it. Should they lie?

No, but it's a question they shouldn't have even asked. If the GOP had done their research they would know their religious image does more damage to their party than good. Also I would prefer the candidates to answer legitimate questions about our country, not whether fucking God talks to them or not. What a joke.

I hate 90% of democrat policies, but I know they wouldn't ask that stupid as question.

It shouldn't be asked keep the bible out of politics. I agree it's what Democrats use against Repubs. I'm not mad at them answering the question it just shouldn't be asked.

I'm not seeing your top 3 at all.

If kasich gets more face time I think people will realize he is the best candidate.

At the end of the day, religion isnt going to keep the independents from voting for them. So I dont think they mind throwing that question in for the religious right.
