Republican Nation Convention Paradox?

[Reynolds357]

Thank you!!

And there really are times when I feel no matter what I say, no one hears WHAT I say, they only hear what they THINK I am saying...

I know that sounds all convoluted. <sigh>. I'm sorry.

I understand what you are saying. I simply wonder how we look at the same situations, both care about the situation, and both see the solution as being so vastly different.

Because we are both fallible humans at different stages of our spiritual growth. You may be much father along than am I, so don't take offense at that.

Also, I think God uses situations (even elections and wretched politicians) to teach us lessons that we as individuals need to learn.

I do not think I am further along than you. You might be further along than me. I think in all probability we are simply on parallel roads with different guiding and shaping life experiences.
I in no way meant what I said to be insulting.

Well I've learned something here. I need to be more diligent in praying for the people here. I don't always understand where you're coming from V, but I need to remember that you're my sister-in-the-Lord, not the lady who has a differing opinion.

I agree. Well stated.

Nor did I take it as an insult. I think you know me well enough by now to know I have few problems calling someone out on carefully veiled insults.

Reynolds, I disagree with you on almost everything. But if I had to choose a group of people to start a colony with me on some remote planet, you would be one of my top choices. You are indeed an enigma to me but you have something sorely lacking in this world - integrity. Your word is your bond, nothing else is needed.

Bless you, Jeanne!

I guess this is what I was trying to convey when I said this is not a football game where we cheer for our side and boo the other. We really are all in this mess together. And it IS a mess. And it isn't just us, it's the whole of the nation. We shouldn't HAVE an "us against them" mentality.

Thank you for this post.

As you have said to me MANY TIMES -

Judging me are you????

i refuse to vote for a man who has no issues at all with saddling businesses with immense debt that HE created, charging them huge fees to DO that and walking away with a pocket full of cash when they go bankrupt.

And then has the audacity to say he CARES about people.

I'm not stomping my foot. I am standing my ground as an American citizen well within her rights to NOT vote for a poseur.

Is that a French noun?

[Vhayes]

Is that a French noun?

French in origin I would bet but no - it's English.

[keck553]

Obama would love God fearing people to sit on thier posteriors (is that French origin also?) and do nothing.

Don't know whether it is or not - I know derriere is.

Why the jab at Obama regarding God but not Romney?

Posterior is from Latin.

It's not a jab at Obama regarding God. It's a statement that Obama would be pleased if God-fearing people would sit this one out. It's a pragmatic statement, not a moral one.

Frence and English are just pig languages from more explicit sources.

Okay, I read the article. Some liberal platitudes thrown into it for good measure, but I was wrong, it was as described, reported by V and not what I figured it was.

Um, but you know what? There are always a few losers. Of course the liberals love blacks and hispanics. How do I know this? Because they have been promising them better lives for a very long time. They never deliver, but they do at least promise a lot of things. If that isn't evidence of truly caring, I don't know what is. Of course some of us know better and understand what is really going on.

I think you will, if you go back and research in history, that republicans have done more for blacks than the dems ever have. And please don't try and tell me the promises made but never delivered by the dems count, because they do not.

Now, that said, lest it be thought I'm trying to deflect and divert...

They should have thrown the bums out. I don't care if they are delegates or what, they should have thrown the bums out. Whoever threw stuff at a black reporter should have been thrown out, and the police called to see if charges of some sort could have been filed. There is no excuse for it.

Now, one more thing. To try and make the case that conservatives and republicans are racists because of a few is wrong. Plain and simple. The men and women that are black and hispanic that spoke at the republican convention seems to be totally discounted by some. I guess then that means that you have to ignore that and only see the other. It means you have to claim, pretend really, that the one is false and the other true. It means you have to discount completely the one and completely count the other. Yea, that seems right. That is nonsense.

I have been a lever pulling Republican for years EC. Like I mentioned,I will vote for Romney(despite my misgivings). Your remarks about the Democrat's failed promise's are duly noted. They are just as empty as the ones that the Republican's have made to the Christian right for years. I am just weary with marching in line with them like a good trooper while pretending that they are the Lord's anointed solution for America's problems. It's time we stood up and called them on their errors.I will say this...it wasn't the far left liberals who pushed for the national security measures endangering our freedom. It was mostly the right.It's just too bad Obama went back on his campaign promises and signed the bill keeping Guantanamo open and went along with the Orwellian security measures that will be enforced on us all. He is a constitutional lawyer and should know better.
