For a person of faith, keeping my practice of religion private is an impossibility. Here is just one example: My faith exhorts me to give my utmost to my employer as long as I am in his employ. If I must keep my faith private, should I then slack off at work so as to avoid the possibility of being noticed as practicing my faith publicly?

You desire freedom from religion as a Constitutional right, I take it? But what of the rights of those who practice one religion or another? Would you jail anyone who said "Praise the Lord!" in a public place?

No, we are all part of the same society, and we must make allowances for our differences, even when we disagree. I may not like what you say, but I will defend mightily your right to say it.

I recently heard that 70% of startups fail because they try to scale up too soon. I think that may have been the case here. With over a billion in venture funding and half a billion in stimulus money, they built a huge factory with (as hughglass mentioned) a manufacturing process taht had no chance of success. The big gov't idea that money can solve all problems is probably responsible for more disasters such as his one than they are for successes of the same scale.

It is utterly incomprehensible to me that McConnell could suggest such a thing. Is he planning on switching parties or something?

I like Alan West, but for me, Herman Cain is the man we need in the White House in 2012. http://www.arealleader.com/

Well, I identify myself as a Tea Party Patriot, didn't like TARP that much, but it was never a deal breaker for me. And, I have to admit, economics is not my strong suit, as it is with others. Maybe it is just possible for an individual to hold a view on TARP that differs from mine, and they not be a member of the Obama Marxist camp.

At least we can agree on one thing though, we both love liberty and a free America. We are both working toward that end, and I pray that we get back to that point in my lifetime.

If McCain or Romney were to be the Republican choice, I would definitely vote 3rd Party. Maybe the same if Paul was nominated, not sure. One of my biggest gripes with Paul is his isolationist attitude. The U.S. tried that before WWII, and it turned out to be a BIG mistake. These days, the world is a whole lot more dangerous than then. I fear that a Paul Presidency would either get us into a war that would have been preventable with prudent foreign policy, or he will get us conquered.

Please keep in mind that Cain supported TARP, which was a loan that needs to be paid back in 5 years. Somehow you keep overlooking the fact that most of that money has been paid back already.

You do yourself no good when you claim to be stating facts and then misrepresent them. It gives one the impression that you are, in fact, fear mongering and have an agenda. Might that agenda be the promotion of Ron Paul at any cost?

Speaking of bailouts, as someone pointed out to me, TARP, which is what Cain supported, was not a bailout, but a loan. A loan which has, in large part, been paid back already.

Now, Obama's stimulus was a different story. That was a bailout, plain and simple. It is not fair to link the two, as they are completely different animals.

Bush made some horrible policy decisions on the economic front, and some that I consider brilliant on the foreign policy front. I would adamantly oppose any candidate who opposed the Bush White House lock stock and barrel.

I cannot help but suspect that if you put Bush and Cain in the same pigeon-hole, that either you haven't looked at Cain that closely, or that you have an ulterior motive for doing so.
