Apparently I missed your point .. is it that God's will is always done ...

I don't think so ... at least not in my life. My free will has me outside of God's will more often than I care to contemplate ... how's always doing God's will working for you?

Again, God will be at work in the outcome of the election to bring it into conformity to His purpose ... He won't pick and choose the outcome any more than He would the outcome of a High School football game - the two events are of about equal importance in the overall cosmic end game.

As Lincoln said (and Sarah Palin pointed out), the issue isn't "is God on our side" it's "are we on God's side"

Its not that Nazi Pat wasn’t “politically correct.” He’s an overt anti-semite. Its good we ignored him because as I recall he ran with a Marxist running mate on his ticket in 2000. Buchanan was and is a tool.

As someone has pointed out, we are facing the evil of two lessers.

If Obama wins, at some point the country will wake up and say, "Oh, crap, what have I done."

If McCain wins, the republican party will be saying those words for the next four years.

We made this financial mess ourselves when we maxed our credit cards, bought ridiculously priced new cars while we were still upside down on our last new car boondoggle, and bought houses that were way above our salaries. We as a nation deserve what we are getting.

But if this nation thinks its bad now, just wait until the enablers of this current mess (Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Obama and company) are running things.

John McCain may be the star of amateur hour, but those idiots are still outside pushing on a door that has a "Pull" sign on it. The only trick they know is taking money from people who don't vote for them and giving it to the people that do. Throw that into this current mess and see what it gets us.

We are in no worse position now than we have traditionally been, we have won elections and landslides from worse positions.

Reagan won 2 landslides but the MSM would have you believe it was anyone’s race right up to the elections.

Don’t be fooled, the storm clouds are circling around Obama.

It’s NOT going to take a miracle.

I’ve stated my positions 1000 times, but let me break it down to one.

If Sarah Palin makes the female vote close, there is NO WAY for Obama to win.

You DO understand that the feminazis actually hate Sarah Palin, don’t you? Close...or not....my trust is in God for this one.

The radical left wing is not nearly as big as the MSM would have you believe. Have you seen the PUMA’s?

George Bush couldn’t have been more hated by the “feminazis” et. al, and he won by 3 points, with NO FBI raids of ACORN.

“Actually....I honestly believe that, at his point, if all true conservatives prayed and fasted for it...McCain would INDEED win.”

You left out that all true conservatives must get up and go vote. God will not do that for you..he can only act thru you.

If you had read any of my other posts, you’d know that voting is a given....and not just voting, but working to get out the good information, helping the campaign, etc...

Faith and REASON ;-)

I would say that Pat Buchanan is an overt paleo-conservative and his opposition to neoconservatism stimulates many supporters of Israel to ascribe motives of anti-Semitism. If you allege he is an "overt" anti-Semite, I think you should lay out the case.

Anyway, I never advocated electing Pat Buchanan to anything but if we had heeded his words in that speech we would not now be contemplating for perhaps generations to come the loss of the ability to elect a conservative.
