Prepare for a shock if you rely solely on the Southeast Missourian. When it comes to the presidential election, Missouri has been moved into the toss-up category.
I want to say thank you to the girl at the bakery stand at the farmers market and for turning in my little green change purse. I also want to thank the farmers market manager who kept it with the money intact and the manager's wife who gave it back to me personally. What a great bunch of people!
If you call yourself a Christian, please pray to God for clarity on how you ought to vote this election. We must come together as a Christian nation to vote to preserve our rights and our country before it is too late.
According to Mike Jensen, people who really understand what's going on in America will vote for Mitt Romney, although Jensen seems worried that there may be too many dim wits among us who simply don't get it.
Accusations of media bias is an excuse for why your preferred presidential candidate lost. If media bias determined the outcome of an election, then, among others, we would never have elected Nixon, Reagan or Bush.
It may not be morning in America yet, but it is dawn. We must stay the course.
Why do you stoop to the level of publishing columns by the so-called architect of the worst president in U.S. history? It's not that I read the column, but even seeing the name Karl Rove makes me retch. On the other hand, the column by Donna Brazile taking the Republican controlled House to task dazzled me with its brilliant insights.

Christians voting,
A quote from Jim Wallis "In the public square, religion has to be disciplined by democracy. That means you don't enter the public square and say I'm religious so I ought to win. Or God has spoken to me directly and I have the fix for Social Security. You say my faith motivates me. It shapes my convictions or it compels me to act on behalf of the poor or peace or whatever."
When did Jesus become pro-rich, pro-war and only pro-America? Do you really believe a gospel that isn't 'good news' to poor people is the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
Well said Reasoning and thank you.
Toss-up state: Missouri is the "Show Me" state and not a Toss-up State. Which candidate has showed Missourians the best path to the future?
Thank you: Regardless what the media says, there are alot of good honest people still around.
Christians, voting: We should all be a God loving and God fearing people who vote.
Jensen column: Who cares what these people who make their living by crying the sky is falling.
Media bias? Do you have a brain, then use it and form your own opinions.
Dawn in America: Believe dawn is morning and morning is dawn.
Rove, Brazile: Thats what these people do for a living, being mouth pieces for there respective parties.
Roe vs. Wade: Thats what Pres. Washington thought about at the Delware River.
The remote will get a work out this afternoon...........1pm on ESPN it's Nascar Racing and 2pm on TBS it's the Cardinals vs the Nationals.
I'm confused.
Why are the Christians so gung-ho on electing a man who is not Christian, when the one in office is a Christian?
Rick, on Christian voting; I think the caller was calling on those who call themselves Christian, not necessarily calling on those who practice the Christian Religion.
"Jim Wallis??"....he describes himself as an evangelical associated with the political left. Jim Wallis works as a spiritual advisor to President Barack Obama....the guy who never sets foot in a "Christian" church; the guy who canceled national days of "Christian prayer" but welcomes Muslims into the white house to celebrate muslim holidays; the guy whose party voted God out of the democrat political platfrom, and then boo'd the vote when for political heat reasons, they voted him back in, and obiously the no's out-numbered the yes' who wanted to include the God of the Bible in their midst....and you want us to accept Jim Wallace as an unbiased, perfected source on how we should vote? Wallis is typical of all leftists who hijack the benovolent teachings of Jesus and use them as justification for socialist, Marxist form of taxation and a Marxist dictatorship forcing all citizens to be taxed into servanthood of the state, and substitute Marxist idealogy for the Gospel. The Gospel of Christ is a Gospel that has nothing to do with taxation, or big government programs. The Gospel of Christ is "Good News" of eternal life and salvation from our sins even to the poorest among us, And as Jesus articulates and demonstrates with numerous parrables, a higher number of "The Poor" will be eager receipiants of his "Good News" than those of the affluent of any nation. "The Poor" will recognize the need for a savior, whereas the "affluient" and those who have become wards of the state, and are beholding to the state for their everyday subsistance will be less receptive, because they are not aware of a need for salvation, being less interested in the "spiritual" and "narrowly focused on the physical and the wordly." All leftest twist the "free proffer of salvation" into a worldly political construct to say, "if you are a Christian then you have to be selfless and give over all your will as well as controll of all your money to the socialist politician, because the socialist state is trying to build a heaven on earth. To you, any christian is a hypocrite if he doesn't submit to the will of the state that is going to use his money to benefit someone else, while the politician takes all the credit, as well as take away all of the freedom of the Christian of the bible...A Christian is considered a hypocrite if they follow the teachings of Jesus who taught individuals to give directly to those in need and we object to manipulating politicans perverting the gospel demanding loyalty to the state ahead of loyalty to God through Christ. Your whole "Jim Wallis" construct is a perversion of the true Gospel. You folks who accuse the right of being religious fanatics do so only because we refuse to submit to your perverted version of religeous fanatiscism which is first and foremost the religion of Communism that twists Christian ethics to fit your poltical evil construct, perverting and adulterating the orginal pure precepts of God's Word and attacking the heavenly purposes of the Church that Jesus Christ died in order to establish. We correctly see through your ruse, and your Jim Wallis tripe and tactics.
Justapinion, Who are you talking to?

Justapinion: After the first 100 words zzzzzzzz
Rick: To lose in St. Louis is not a good start.
Christians, voting; "http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/122684.html
I think it might be preying instead of praying.
When did Jesus become pro-rich, pro-war and only pro-America? Do you really believe a gospel that isn't 'good news' to poor people is the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Reasoning, that is nothing but silly prattle.
One could also say.... Do you really believe a gospel that isn't 'good news' to rich people is the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
Do you really think Jesus Christ takes sides between the poor and the rich, or do you think maybe his message was directing both of them to live correctly? I believe one of his messages is that it is a sin to waste one's talents and time as well as it is directed for us to help take care of one another.
Nowhere do I remember him saying that the government should be our keeper and to try and share the wealth by force of law.
