Help us support Reason in the White House in 2008!
Offline Hello fellow godless going to hell skeptics! I haven't posted here yet but I have had an account here to watch the Webcam shows every so often they are on. Anyway, have you noticed how the Presidential Candidates treat non religious voters as if they're non existant? Unlike the ghost in the sky, we non religious people do exist and we can proove it. We need to have our own voice this election and I know a way to do that. On CNN"s Presidential Debates the questions will be asked by people who upload videos from YouTube to ask a question. We made our own, and it is doing surprisingly very very well. We have gotton 122 Community votes so far and our question right now is the 2nd most demanded question to be aired on TV directly to the Candidates. Our question asks: "How will you (Candidates) appeal to *non* religious voters?" As we all know, this Nation isn't *Supposed* to be run like a theocracy yet many of the Candidates treat it as such and only say things that attract religious people and only seem to Campaign in churches too. Let's also not forget the constant "How Faith® works in my life" speeches.
Please help us support Reason in the White House by voting to get this question aired directly to the Candidates to answer. You can find our video at www.communitycounts.us/debates/ Our video is on page one and currently question #2 and is called "What about the *non* religious voters?". Please help us have the Candidates answer this question by clicking the green button which reads "Answer" right above our video. Thank you all so much for your support, we think it will be great to hear what our next President has to say for the sake of us non religious Americans!

I'm voting for Hillary Clinton, 2nd choice is Obama.
done.
Great question, btw.
Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin

Books about atheism
Done as well.
It'd definately be great to hear answers to that question.
Thanks guys! Let's keep the votes coming!
So far the Democrats have not pushed religion that much from what I understand. Obama has done most of the religious talk but he's UCC so it's not like he has anything against Atheists. Edwards hired some openly Atheist bloggers and refused to fire them when the religious reich protested that they had criticized the Catholic church on another website. Hillary is the anti-christ if I understand the fundies correctly so that goes well in her favor. Gravel is a former Catholic turned Unitarian.
The great thing about this primary is that a Mormon is running so the fundies are going all out in religious bigot mode against the Republicans. They tried going after Obama claiming he went to a Muslim university when he was six but that didn't pan out very well. I'm thinking they may keep the entire religion thing a bit quieter since the Republican candidates don't share the fundies sensibilities. Romney is Mormon, Guiliani doesn't hate gays, is pro-choice and was married to his cousin (wait, that's a plus for fundies), Brownback is insane, Thomspon is a woman chaser who married a woman younger than he daughter, McCain had an affair and divorce. Yeah, it's not time for the Republicans to push "family values" this time around.
My support is for Edwards but since Kansas doesn't vote in primaries it really doesn't matter (but I donated to him because mAnn Coulter pisses me off so much).
Browback is insane. The one problem with Edwards is, I don't think he has a chance. I think Barack might be pretty good though.
And just a heads up, our question is only 2 votes away to taking the lead!!

Done. I really would like to hear this question answered by the candidates.

Edwards doesn't have a chance, he just can't keep up financially with Obama or Clinton. And yes, that's a sad commentary on what really matters in national elections. I'm actually intrigued by Giuliani. I don't think he'd have any trouble telling the evangelicals where to stick it, and he strikes me as a more confident leader than Clinton or Obama.

Nobody could possibly be worse than GWB. Guiliani most people don't remember was pretty bad in NYC before 9/11 - people were calling him "Benito Guiliani."

Guiliani is still bad. I have yet to think of any positive reason anyone would have for voting for him. If I happen to be at the scene of a car wreck that doesn't qualify me for heading the Dept. of Transportation.
That's almost as bad as support for Thompson. He played a President in a movie so that qualifies him in real life.
If either of these guys get elected then I'll have to admit that Stupidity wasn't just a witty movie, it was a prophecy that came true.
done. let's see how many of the anti-evolution republicans scoff at the question.
Let's keep them coming!
I voted...great question by the way, hope it gets answered. There's another question on there that's ranked pretty high that relates to us as well, check it out.
I'm finding myself to be a republican almost in name only. Obama's who I'd like to vote for, but I doubt he's going to beat Hillary in the primary.
Done.
Thanks everyone! I did check out that other question that supports our views, however first of all, he's very creepy in that video (as if I was not in mine) and I don't really like his creepy approach, and his question will get kind of a simple answer. I did give it a postive vote however.
