No,   I want her to explain to the Republican base that she works  
with Democrats to raise taxes on corporations.  The conservative  
dogma seems to be "cut programs, cut taxes, and don't tax  
corporations".  When a government is running in the red, it may be  
necessary to raise taxes to maintain necessary programs, and the  
target of the taxes may well be corporations.  They could learn  
something here.  Or, it may not play well with view of the McCain/ 
Palin ticket.

Religion?  No.  I fear the impact of decision makers who are not  
concerned with the consequences of their choices.  The American  
taxpayers, the American soldiers, and Iraqis will pay the cost of the  
Iraq invasion, while Bush and Company retire on their oil profits.   
At least, he appears to want to retire and live to ripe old age in  
the USA, although some of his actions do make me question the  
validity of my assumption.

If the President expects to be raptured off of the planet prior to  
Armageddon, I doubt that they will will work hard to prevent it.  Or  
like Jim Jones in Guiana, they may even make choices consistent with  
bringing it about.  I don't want a President to have nuclear capacity  
and a death wish.  ( or megalomania or senility or anger management  
problems or a gambling problem or  ... )
