Republican and Christianity

What did "W" do to further the homosexual agenda?

The "homosexual agenda" is imaginary. Peole just want to be free.

For the OP:

Here is an excellent Christian YouTube video explaining why God is not a Republican:

While you are "freeing" the the sodomites, why not go ahead and "free" the polygamists as well?
The entire concept of comparing the queer rights movement to the civil rights movement is pretty much sickening.

Which policies of the republican platform directly contradict the teachings of our Lord and Savior?

I'm still wondering which policies of the republican platform directly contradict the teachings of our Lord and Savior.

Funny enough, they'd probably say the same in reverse!

Slightly puzzled gave it a good, reasoned, reasonable answer.
Whatever. Thread moving to contro in 5,4,3...

Reallly!? Show me an example.

As for SP's reasonable answer, some presidents don't allow the wife's opinion to cloud their own.

Nice job, GW!

Murder is also promoted by the Democrat plank of gun control.

I rather suspect (and I'm only guessing here) that those who advocate gun control might say that murder is promoted by republicans by the plank of lack of gun control. That if the problem is violence that arming everybody might not be the solution. Is that not the sort of thing they might say?


Abortion seems a very safe issue for republicans to support. You've had a few republican terms in recent years and still its perfectly legal and accessible! Great vote winner, come out strongly against it and people will vote for you, but you don't actually have to DO anything about just, you know, be against it. In theory like. Might as well run on a platform of likeing puppies. We like puppies, do you like puppies? Then vote for us, we feel the same way. You won't actually get more puppies if we win but you'll have the warm glow of knowing that you're in a pro - puppy party.

Republicans and democrats, like labour and conservatives are all politicians first and most. Thats how they got their. They'll say what they need to to please the masses.

Do you mean like Obama suddenly becoming the first "gay" president, right before the election??????

As you well know the abortion issue and trying to get it overturned is a lot more complicated than that. A president can only put judges forward to be voted
on and hope that after all of the filibustering and meltdowns that usually occur on both sides we get a halfway decent one.

I firmly believe that until the hearts and minds of the American people are changed abortion will be here to stay unless we get lucky at some time and have a republican president, majority republican House & Senate and enough empty seats on the benches to be filled with good judges who will overturn R vs W.

Abortion rates have been declining steadily since about 1990. Hearts and minds are changing.

[BrianW]

It's been estimated that approximately 50 million abortions have been performed in the United States alone since 1973. ( From the Guttmacher Institute data)

I agree with you V, hearts do seem to be slowly changing and induced abortions do still seem to be declining but we still have a long, long way to go. I won't be happy until the United States of America comes to it's senses and makes abortion on demand illegal.

Until then all we can do is spread the gospel and do a whole lot of praying.

He did?!

Bless him!

If he'd had the op as well he could have been the first Gay, Female black president. Surely you'd get points for the hatrick!

[A Seeker]

We had our first female PM in 1979. Never caught on though. Interestingly, ever PM since has had much less... minerals.

Ah Maggie. One of a kind.

I couldn't rep you any more, but this deserves an honorable mention. The GOP brass are well aware of what this issue means to them. It is not in their own self-interest to attempt to ban abortions....rather, it is in their self-interest to keep abortion legal, but *say* they are opposed to it. As long as this is the case, they are assured a large number of votes, and a handsome sum in campaign donations.

[BrianW]

Yeah, exactly, that's why Roe vs Wade hasn't been overturned. A made up cover story and excuses trump facts and the reality of a situation every time! *Win!!!*


I'm still wondering which policies of the republican platform directly contradict the teachings of our Lord and Savior by the way. I wonder why no one has made a real attempt at answering that question? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

Yes. The sarcasm is just dripping from this post.

Appreciated.

Out of interest, is there a way to see what reps you've had? I never figured that out and I should really say thankyou.

As always in politics, Cha-ching!

Hi KT,
As much as I like you I think you're very biased.
Do you realize that the Democrats operate in the same way? The line between the two parties seems to be very fuzzy these days. Politicians will be politicians. The best we can do is to judge each candidate by their words AND their deeds. Beyond that, we are unable to see their hearts or read their minds.
