Re: McCain Is the Only Hope of the GOP & America

Now I'm not an American. I'm married to one and so naturally his interest becomes mine in regard to politics in the U.S.A.

But I just don't understand how someone can make a statement like I read in an earlier post in this thread that "Democrats want to see the family destroyed". That's a pretty broad generalization in my opinion and doesn't ring true either.

Just as there are bad Democrats there are bad Republicans. Neither do I think that you're in league with the devil if as a Christian you vote a Democrat into office.

Thompson was just a celebrity face. He's not a real conservative.

Now Ron Paul...he's the real deal. I'm really surprised more conservatives aren't pulling for him. Our politicians typically pander, they try to model themselves after what we really want. If men like Ron Paul can't get ahead among conservatives...that tells me that those who bill themselves as "conservative" aren't really all that conservative. lol

Re: McCain Is the Only Hope of the GOP & America

Its about who can win anymore.

Watch though , if Ron Paul takes an independant ticket and then Bloomburg steps in on an independant ticket, this will be one heck of a race.

The Republicans have formed such a solid alliance with the Religious Right in the United States that anything not Republican is branded "evil". It's sad really. I used to be a die hard Republican but traveling outside of the US opened my eyes to a few things.

That's one reason why I don't believe that conservatives are as sold on their principles as they say they are. If they will compromise their principles by abandoning Ron Paul and go with someone more progressive....they really aint all that conservative.

I don't know that they "want" to see the family destroyed, but their social policies can and do destroy the value of a family.

I'm going to play the devil's advocate and push to see how much truth is in your statement if you don't mind. We're often told things that are big and scary...then we rarely examine it and ask the difficult questions to see if it's true.

How do Democratic policies destroy the value of my family?

I never said it would affect your family, I stated the "value of a family" or family values as a whole.

Pro-choice

Gay marriage

Gay rights to adoption

Removing "God" from schools while teaching Islam for the sake of "understanding"

It is these special intrest groups that support mostly Democratic candidates, However I will be the first to admit that Romney is no roll model either.

As for my family, experience has proven that while I had a steady and secure job during Democratic times, I rarely saw increases financially. Where as the last 8 years has been rewarding for my family. Personally I have seen an increase in my wages of 84% in just the past 6 years.


BTW--miss you over at the AM forum Bro.

Re: McCain Is the Only Hope of the GOP & America

The church, in abandoning culture and ceasing to be a relevant force, has left the state to be our messiah. We criticize socialism, rightly so, but we've married her twin sister.

Unless we realize that only through the Gospel and the living out of the Lordship of Christ can we bring real change to our society we are as lost as the old Soviet Union.
