Re: Cain: Voters won’t be ‘turned off’ by sexual harassment claims

I hope someone checks out who these women are and if Fox News is behind it or the person called Breitbart?. The republicans really want Cain to go away. As a liberal, I really don't care but I hate to see them blame democrats when I doubt that is true.

It has been my experience that if you do not believe as most people believe you are considered odd and misdirected. I do seek out, or at least I do, people who believe as you do. Religion has never made sense to me and there is so much hate among christians that I find it unpleasant and just really hard to believe. Most Christians are kind and caring people but they do seem to follow the ministers who preach fear and hate so I wonder if it is not an outlet for their own frustrations. I am just glad to hear from other non=believers and to know you are out there.

The story is not believeable to me and I have been to Nauvoo but not Carthage. There are so many unanswered questions about all religions that as they say, you have to accept it on faith. I have been a non-believer most of my adult life and do not belong to any groups, religous or otherwise since I don't do well in crowds but I respect those who do believe and certainly would never say they are wrong as I have no idea what is or isn't true about eternity or an all powerful entity gives us life beyond this one. I have had a wonderful life and at 69 have no interest in living in any form beyond this life. Death just seems to be a natural occuring event for all living things and no big deal really.

Just who do you think owns that 70% of imported oil. Big Oil is making record profits on that imported oil and they don't care who drills for it as long as they use their drills. A rational energy policy will not happen as long as we have democrats and republicans only and it takes 100's of millions to be elected president. We need no political parties and let real people run for public office and then only let them run 5 ads that tell us what they stand for not what is wrong with their opponents. They could pay 10,000 to run for president and that money could be used to pay for the 5 ads to run on TV. That would shut up the media and the big corporations. Otherwise we can expect more of the same from now on.
