The big 3 things I look for are gun control, killing babies cause they are inconvenient, and the party's stand on homosexuality. The dumcrap party supports all of these things. The republicans aren't perfect, there are things I disagree with. Fact is, ya can't be a Christian and support the dumcrap party. They talk of family values, then talk about queer rights and a womans right to kill her child. Those are abominations in Gods eyes, and mine. Lost another post, hope this one goes out. POWDERMAN.
powderman, I am not challenging you on any of you comments, you just bring up some interesting points.
Point #1.
Gun Control. McCain a professed Republican has voted ANTI-gun 73% of the time. He teamed up with Lieberman to BAN GUN SHOWS, voted YES on the assault weapons ban, and voted YES on the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban. And although this doesn't concern gun control, he and Russ Fiengold teamed up to create the McCain-Fiengold Act against much of the
1st Amendment.
Point #2.
Killing babies cause their inconvenient. This question is asked ROUTINELY of all politicians Republican or Democrat, and although Republicans MOSTLY ANSWER that they are pro-life, no one ever asks them what they are going to do about this slaughter of almost 50,000,000 babies if elected, and I have yet to hear of ANY OF THEM trying to introduce legislation to try and stop abortion. Does it make the voter FEEL BETTER, if folks like McCain tell them they are pro-life even though they will do nothing to stop it, if elected? What a useless qualification. I for one, am against asteroids hitting the planet earth, but alas they have in the past, and most likely will in the future.
Point #3.
Homosexuality. I have yet to hear one actually speak out against it, just say marriage should be between a man and a woman. What is the point to even ask them. They like as in abortion, have no intention of actually doing anything about it, even if they could.
Point #4.
Queer rights and woman's rights to kill her child. Yes, these are abominations to God, HOWEVER, many a Republican politicians feel the same as many Democrats on all these points.
Point #5. With the almost rabid hatred of the Democrats, why is it that Republicans such as McCain get such a free pass for many of the same issues the Democrats are so loathed for? McCain has been guilty as charged with a voting record to prove it for 26 years but, is seen as the Savior. Just this week, he and Obama voted YES to a bail out of Wall Street, AND added an extra 150 billion to the already 700 billion dollar package.
All of these cute little names like dumbcrat, republicrat, and on and on do little to explain, and resemble very much, one first grader calling another first grader wearing glasses, "four eyes". It does nothing to solve the problem that plagues BOTH PARTIES. They continue to get the votes to keep their jobs and IGNORE THE VOTE'S WISHES. JMO
