In The Cafferty File today, we asked viewers:
How important is evangelical support to the Republican presidential candidates?Evangelicals will not play a part in 2008 because they will stay home licking their wounds. George Bush and the Republican Party have made fools out of them, so they will not show up to vote, and those who do just may turn on the Republican Party for betraying them.
Tom, Long Beach, CaliforniaIn a perfect world, evangelical support would doom a candidate. Candidates would be elected based on real issues and ideas rather than the notion that the earth is 6,000 years old. Evangelicals represent a demographic for whom the issue of teaching evolution in high schools trumps an unjust war.
Jim, Dallas, TexasVery important. That's why we see John McCain kowtowing to the likes of lunatics like Jerry Falwell now. A couple of years ago, McCain was at odds with him. What has changed since, except the 2008 presidential election? Crap like this sickens me. McCain liked to be thought of as an independent thinker… some rebel!
Steve, Bridgewater, MassachusettsWill Americans ever consider soda a health drink?If Americans ever consider soda a health drink, brainwashing by corporate America to consume sugar will have succeeded. Obesity is America's No. 1 medical problem, and soda consumption is a primary cause.
Chet, San Antonio, TexasAmericans will believe whatever expensive advertising and marketing campaigns will tell them, and justify their obesity and unhealthy practices by whatever means necessary.
ScottNope, soda is soda Jack, no matter what they put on the label.
Patricia, Palmdale, CaliforniaJack, Soda will be a health drink as soon as a drug company buys controlling interest in one...just wait and see.
JohnWill it ever be possible to completely wean Congress off pork?Pork, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. So long as politicians are elected in part because they bring economic prosperity to their community and because their constituency doesn't care about how their pet projects affect the rest of the country, we will continue to have pork.
Greg, Mechanicsburg, PennsylvaniaIt isn't possible to wean Congress completely off pork, but it would be nice if the electorate would wean them off pork tenderloin on to pickled pigs’ feet.
Bob, Louisville, KentuckyUntil we start holding our politicians accountable, and put them on a strict budget and require them to be honest, they will continue to act like a kid in Vegas with daddy's credit cards.
