<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri>You are absolutely correct. In my haste, I
did leave out the correct punctuation but, I don't for a moment believe that you
are so dense that my question wasn't plain. To be 100% clear, in your original
post you demand an answer to the question:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>"What exactly are Bouma's religious beliefs, how does
justify belief in them, and how will these beliefs influence his actions,
stands, and votes as a state senator representing a plurality of Latah
County...?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri>My question is, (and was) what are
Mr. Schmidt's? You have claimed that it is important to you to know this
information with regard to ALL </FONT><FONT color=#000000
face=Calibri>candidates. The only response you have managed to provided is that
they appear to be different from different from Mr. Bouma's. What's
becoming increasingly clear is that you don't know the answer and that your
burning question concerning religion only applies to those with whom you
disagree. Consequently, it's looking like the answer to my second
question:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana>Does the fact that there is a D following his name on
the ballot excuse him from the level of scrutiny that you seem to believe
is appropriate for others?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>For one reason, as far as I know, Schmidt does not attend
and occasionally preach in a church which mixes religion and politics as
Bouma does (as you can see from the quotes below). Another reason: Bouma
has been asked in a public forum about his religious beliefs and their relations
to his political beliefs -- he refused to answer claiming the question out of
bounds. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Every candidate ought tell us what their political positions
are and why they hold those positions including their religious reasons, if
any. So far as I know no one has asked Schmidt these questions.
Perhaps someone should; perhaps you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>In a previous post, I opined that it is not only
important for a candidate to state his positions, but why she/he believes
them. It is important to understand how a candidate arrives at his
conclusions in order to judge in part his desirability and/or fitness for
office.

<DIV><FONT size=2>You want to check facts? Look at local candidates'

the last two years where I have openly worked with this candidate on
issues. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Another fact: Why don't you call the pastor of the
Nazarene Church to verify that Paula Bauer, Bouma's campaign manager,
flummoxed the pastor of that church by lying about why she wanted to use a
prayer room during the day of this year's primary election? Bauer
told the pastor that the purpose of the prayer activity was to pray
for all candidates. As it turned out, it was used only to pray for Bouma
with a possible few sidebars for other tea baggers. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hence, selfishly and without regard to the interests of the
Nazarene Church congregation which she fraudulently misused, Bauer and
thus Bouma put that organization's tax exempt status at risk by
conducting a political activity centering on a candidate and a particular
political position in contravention of laws prohibiting such for tax exempt
churches. Lying and intentional law breaking -- what a wonderful set of
values for a would-be state senator, though I can see how such trivialities
would not bother you at all.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Opaque assertions? I am afraid that your vision has

<DIV><FONT size=2>During the primary, it became obvious to me that Bouma and

they flummoxed him into providing a prayer room during the primary election
day which prayed only for Bouma and candidates with similar religious
views -- another violation of tax exemption laws. That is
why I have concentrated on Bouma.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Please do not misunderstand. Bouma and his

Huckabee's comment this week about Mormons believing that Jesus
and Satan were brothers, I had to read through the chapter on
Mormonism in Kingdom of the Cults. Not only do they indeed
believe that Jesus and Satan were brothers, they deny the Virgin
Birth, the sufficiency of Christ's death on the cross to atone
for all sins and such things as God was a man once just as we
are. He achieved such a state of holiness in his flesh that he
was rewarded by becoming the god of this planet. He showed up
here as Adam and later impregnated Mary, who conceived and
produced Jesus. He also had a few kids with the other Mary and
her sister Martha.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain
control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins
and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning
but never able to acknowledge the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and
Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth — men
of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are
rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the
case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone. NIV
Did you ever wonder why the J.W.s and the Mormons and their ilk
always do their legwork in the middle of the day? It's because
the women are normally home alone. Every family that I
personally know of who has been indoctrinated by one of these
groups has been because the wife was first
deceived.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
