[PAA-Discuss] Powell backs Obama - a pro-war Republican backing apro-war ...

[Jessica Wilson]

god is a myth used to control people, why in the world did you just conclude
with that, I am so glad I will never have to run for office and pretend I
talk to myself (god) to sway all the crazy people out there who talk to
themselves instead of doing for themselves.  If I offended you too bad, do
your research on religion and stop pulling that card in arguments.

if all of you "I can't vote for who I want to" types would realize how large
of a number you are, actual change may actually happen GASP!

please understand what the word democracy means and realize it's not what
this country is

I feel like I've been repeating myself for years, oh wait, yea I have -

regression
