You too are a witness to everyone, with every post -

While I may not always be politically correct, and in fact, downright Un-Christian sometimes in my fleshly response, I am AT LEAST STANDING for Morality...

Something YOU TYME, Have refused to do - So where does that leave you as a "Witness And a Testimony" to other Christians...

Did it ever occur to you that the reason that SO MANY "Christians" are telling you THE SAME THING is because GOD is TRYING TO get YOU to WAKE UP!

Or is there a REASON WHY you support the Gay Agenda?

Does not seem Christian to me to Support it, or to support baby killing, or to support teaching Kindergarteners about Gay lifestyle and....

Why would I Vote for Kerry?

Now, as I have given my word, so shall I do. But as I have given my Word, I’ll not do it on this topic.

Of course, not before, I get treated to the open hostility and hate, and lies that the “God fearing Christians” on this board, needed to dish out.

Now I had said:
quote:
I'll be glad to tell you why I shall be voting for Kerry, just not on this topic, this was for all of you to tell me why I should vote for Bush.
This gets followed by:

quote:
So in other words, you have no desire to defend morality and since Kerry stands purely for immorality you've nothing to say?

The most "worthless" arguments yet have come from you, and talk about vague? You have given absolutely ZERO moral reasons - How does this represent Christianity? Or are you really Christian?

I get the impression you are not, at all - You simply like to pretend as though you are to get them going

Now, this was from FlavorMinded.

This scares me that the people like you Favor Minded, who cannot comprehend this simple sentence, expect others to respect their grasp of the bible.

And I always find it funny, that it is very common for your “brand” of Christianity project this mindless “We shall suffer for our beliefs” and yet the only “Persecution” I see here, is your judgment of me, by that standard this just reaffirms that I am indeed correct.

Now on to You Ripp:

quote:
Yeah Tyme! You never posted your reasons for voting for Kerry!

I don't really expect you to answer me, I know you don't have any answer to it except that you hate Bush.

God bless.

I said I would give you an answer, and I shall. Not on this topic. IF you want, you can start up your own topic and ask this question, or you can wait for me to start the topic, either way, it is not justified to continue to ask this question in this topic, when I said,

quote:
I'll be glad to tell you why I shall be voting for Kerry, just not on this topic, this was for all of you to tell me why I should vote for Bush.
and so far, Although, David is being very Civil, he still has not really given me an answer to vote for Bush. The Comparison is cute, but, they would only matter if Clinton was running for Office. Since he is not, they really are not worth much, beyond, maybe implying that “Bush is no better then Clinton” which, I do not believe is his hope from that little list, and in my humble opinion, not really all that great a way to try and show “Bush” in a good light, considering, Clinton could not keep in check all his body parts.

WhyteEagle is the Only on here, who has treated this topic with respect that it deserves, God Bless you Sister, may Jesus shine his light upon you.

Now, I want you all to look at her posts again, and take a lesion from it on how to not only express political points, but see what great witnessing is as well.

This is mostly for FavorMinded, but everyone should pay attention to this.

YOU have asked a great many questions about me Favor Minded, I’ll give you something to chew on:

If I was a “Non-Christian” would anything you have said so far motivated me to “become saved” and be “Just like you”?

If I were Homosexual, and having read the posts by many of you, would I ever want to become a “Christian Like you”. Would any part of what you have shown me, show me the acceptance of Christ? Do you make it easier or harder on the person that might come up to me and say “God Loves you” or “Would you like to learn about the Salvation of Jesus?” have you all not shown me enough of his Loving Salvation right here?

Lets say I was at one time a 14 year old Girl that got an abortion, would I ever want to join your Church, or follow your dogma?

Lets go so far as to say I am the anti-Christ himself, while your all screaming Intolerance and hate, and condemning everyone (Even follow Christians), do you not only make things easier for me, when I say “I’ll accept you just as you are”, I’ll love you, and care for you, and make you feel safe.

Have you truly been a good representative of your Lord? Have you Shown your master in a “Good Light”?

Think about that, with EVERY post you make, you are a witness to both believers and non-believers alike.

(Also Ripp, each post takes me some time to deal with and my time is limited, so I’ll respond to your question, when I can, patience is a virtue)

Tyme.

P.S. Love the smilies, just wish you had some words to back them up.

Last Thursday, night there was a weird moment in Bible Study when someone mention their weird realitives, that are Southern Democrats. Hubby and I looked each other and smiled. Seeing how we are Southern Democrats.

There was a time in the past when most of the Southerners did vote Democrat,
those years are long past!

I think I'm correct in saying that the last time a Democrat carried Alabama in a presidential election was the first time Jimmy Carter ran.

Reagan always carried most of the Southern states,
as have the Bush family.
Most of the Southern states stood against Clinton, and Gore.

Gore wanted to cry about what happened in Florida, when the fact is, if he had carried his home state of Tennessee, he would have been president.

So I say that most of the South are not gun-controling, baby-killing, homosexual Democrats, and have proven that fact at the poles for quite a number of years now.

Southern Democrats - NOT

Nice Letter there David.

it was worthless because it was so vauge and lop sided, but, still, it at the very least, does not present the rabid hate for the John Kerry, that I have come to know and Love among these boards.

Originally posted by Tyme:
More emphasis on Charities helping the poor, not government handouts to help the poor.

Now if I read this correctly, what you are saying is that Instead of using the money they collect in taxes to help the needy, the government wants us to make a separate donation to private charities that will help the poor?

Please verify if I comprehend this correctly.

If this is the path that, it shall go in, then: Will this involve a tax cut for the middle class, or for anyone that has ‘Donated’?

Please explain.

I believe the churches need to be doing what they were called to do. Preach the gospel and help the poor. There are many private charity groups that serve needy people. Soup Kitchens, Bread of Life centers that provide grocieries for free to people going through rough times, Catholic Charities, the Salvation Army, and many others.
My belief that to help someone one needs to teach them how to get back on their feet, not just give them money. "If you give a man a fish you've fed him for one day, if you teach a man to fish, you've helped him to feed himself."

Government handouts have been needed, but now are abused and people frequently soak the system, because there is no accountability to their peers.
It's a formal impersonal thing, that allows those who could work to stay in the system. In fact the system even penalizes them when they do better, but not good enough.

Tyme, I don't really want to write a long post no one will read, or write down ever indvidual circumstance of poverty or need.

There are circumstances such as illnesses that are chronic or mental illness or disabilty that these people will always rightfully and honestly need assistance and should receive it. I have no problem with my tax money helping those people.

But if private charities can start doing more of the work, then our taxes would go to people who fall through the cracks. I don't want to pay for everyone else who keeps making bad decisions in life though. Government has become an enabler to drug addicts, alcoholics, and people with no gumption.

Christian charities or private charities can provide counciling and things to enable people to put their lives back together.

quote:
Enabling people to make their own lives better, not expecting the government to make it better.

This has the makings, or at least sounds as if it is a noble ideal, but it maintains an aura of mystery and vagueness, can you explain by what methods and means this shall be done, and what shall the final product yield to allow for improvement that does not already exist to the current working class citizen?

It starts by teaching self-reliance to children and how to problem solve and educate people. Now children are taught that the government is the answer to all their problems. It begins by teaching and emphasizing personal responsibilty to everyone. No excuses! No enabling. Be responsible for yourself. The movies, media and schools teach children that they are not responsible, and they can make excuses and blame others for their failures. Our whole country is lawsuit crazy. Example: My mother-in-law hit a dog that ran out in front of her car. She was not at fault, the dog came out of nowhere. The people who owned the dog wanted to sue her for killing their dog. We have leash laws here. Why couldn't those people understand that their dog was killed because they failed to take proper care of it? (this is just a minor example of the mindset in this country.)
Whatever happened to a "can do" attitude? Now the attitude is "why bother". Also everything is so politically correct, that schools pound individualism out of young children. The "thou shalt nots" are more frequent in the secular world than the religious world.

{QB]
quote:
Giving children a real education from truly qualified teachers, not a math teacher trying to teach science. And focusing on the curriculum, not social issue in the schools.

Are you referring to the “No Child Left Behind” program that Bush created and has recently cut funding for? Or is this a different plan?

Please explain. As I like this ideal, but I am confused in a manner as it might contradict the above ‘Empowerment” plans that Bush administration has planned.[/QB]

How does demanding that school standards be carried out affect empowerment? If a child gets a good solid education that is "empowerment". The teachers have been in a socialist defunct system for so long, they are blind. When I read things written by people in the 18th century even by children of that era, I'm astounded at how far we've fallen from education. Stephen King's books are considered literature now. That's pretty low.

quote:
His belief in defending our country and his belief in things like honor, God and loyalty and truth.

This can be a hot topic, regarding the lies and falsehoods of any administration of the Government. But, if you can offer validation that the “Bush Administration” has maintained a higher level of integrity then pervious administrations, this could stand to be true.

I do not see, not has it been presented that the “Bush Administration” have proven itself to be superior in the above ideals then previous administrations, and in many cases prove to not hold up the above ideals as have a great many of previous administrations.

So I am not sure by what means you are presenting this.

However, I will easily concede that this is more a personal opinion and is open to view point of the individual on this subject, so there is really no debate regarding it.
[Quote]


Lies of previous administrations? HMMMM... Could that be.... "that depends on what the meaning of "is" is."....or " I did not have sex with that woman, I mean, Monica Lewinsky."
[BooHoo]

Of course that was one of his less important lies.

I will agree with you since President Bush has been in office, someone is lying. It's really hard to figure out too. Is Dan Rather lying?
Is it Sandy Berger lying while he stuffs secret documents in his socks? Is it the Swift Boat veterans? Is Tom Browkaw lying? How about O'Reilly? What about the Muslims who want Kerry in office? And why do Democrats and Muslims seem to share the same likes and dislikes? All I know Bush has kept to his same story all through this **** .

The media twists the truth. We had sanctions on Iraq since the first Gulf War. For over 12 years the UN weapons inspecters couldn't really find out for sure if Saddam really had the WMD's or not. Saddam, we now know was playing poker. He didn't want Iran to know that he didn't have squat. So his poker game blew up in his face, because the world didn't know either. Salman Pak was a training camp in Iraq for Al Qaida, they had planes there for the terrorist to practice on. The terrorist leader in Fallujah is connected to Bin Laden.

Fact is this war isn't perfect, nothing is. Pres. Bush did what needed to be done. He didn't want to wait and see if Saddam really had WMD. Saddam had over 12 years to come clean. How long should the UN wait? After 9-11 how long should we have waited? This Islamic terrorists have hated the US since the Iran Hostage taking in 1979, when they deposed the Shah of Iran for their own Muslim cleric. Does the name Ayatollah Komeni ( I know it's spelled wrong) ring any bells. How about the book "Satanic Verses"? Salman Russkie is still under death penalty by Islamic terrorists, for writing that book so long ago.
This war of cultures/religion has been brewing in the background for a long time. 9-11 was our wake up call.

[Quote]He passed the Ban of partial-birth abortion after it passed both houses of Congress.

I do not see this as an improvement, as Partial Birth Abortions are almost never done, accounting for a miniscule amount of overall abortions, and are almost never, if ever, done as a means of “Abortions on Demand” because they are late term, all the woman had gotten past the “OH No, I’m pregnant” so this can be an touchy issue.

I would like to interject that one of the things that still bothers me about this Ban is that it did not allow for the necessity of said abortion to be done to save the life of the mother, thus placing the life of the mother below, or “Less then” the life of the unborn child.

I’ll also concede that they are done, if the child is heavily malformed or not fully formed and does not stand a chance of survival if brought to term, and in this rare case, all that was really done, is prolong the “Infants” suffering, best case is the continued suffering of the “Human” and require yet another person to be dependent on the government for their very life, I still do not see a win here.

All of your comments about this issue are inaccurate. Partial birth abortion has been done on healthy infants many times. It has been done more than you realize and is not as rare as your sources would like you to think.

The only reason for a woman to chose partial birth abortion is to kill the baby, no other reason. It's not even a humane way to kill. If the procedure were done on baby dogs or cats, that were defective during birth, there would be demonstrations in the streets of every city in this country by animal rights activists.

I've been an RN for over 20 years. I have asked everyone I know about the mysterious situation that one needs to be in, to NEED a partial-birth abortion. There is no medical reason to do this procedure. If the woman's life is at risk the quickest way is a C-section. PBA is a 3 day prep procedure to stretch the cervix. Would a woman who's life was really in danger be made to wait 3 days? Also they may have to turn the baby in the womb before the procedure so that the head can't come out first, they have to make the head come out last. If the head comes out first the baby is legally protected as "born". Believe me turning a fetus in the womb isn't a very safe thing to do, for the mother, and isn't done any more due to lawsuits. C-section is done instead of breach delivery.

Woman who have cancer during pregnancy have many options and decisions to save their life and their baby's life, and partial-birth abortion procedure is not one of them that is needed to save their life. That's garbage! I'm sorry you are so uninformed about this issue. But unfortunately you are not alone.

Your example on an abortion reason is ridiculous in light of medical reality. If the mother's heart has stopped her baby's heart will soon be stopped anyway. It's the maternal-fetal circulation that oxygenates the baby. If they need to defib they will.

Thank you for your Post WhyteEagle, Truly a great post!

I would like to discuss what you have said, hopefully in a civil way.

Regarding what you said.
What do you mean by “Smaller Government”

Can you define this, as I checked, Bush has plans to implement a 3rd (Third) information collection agency to handle collaboration between the FBI and CIA. Which will result in expansion of the Government Facilities.

Bush as well has created new jobs (This is where the Government hires people to keep the unemployment rate down)

I will not attack you Tyme, as I have no reason to. I will attempt to explain why I believe the way I do and how the President's policies seem right to me.

I'm not sure how the 3rd information system will going to be structured, but our government does need to have the ability to share information between agencies to protect us from further attacks. The President's plan is to cut taxes so that small business and big companies can create new jobs. If Bush created new jobs just in government, (which is what the Democrats typically do) this only raises our taxes and makes government bigger. By lowering taxes for people who are in small business it does help them expand their business and hire more people.

quote:
As well as the “Patriot Act” that empowers government agencies with even more access to our personal information and such, so the cost for equipment to keep track of this, can not by any means “Shrink” the overall size of the federal government.

Please expand upon this point.

One reason it appears that we have lost so many jobs since the 1990's is because of the new technology. The 1990's boomed because of Bill Gates and the Computor businesses, banking and finance. Then there were mergers and downsizing as companies realized they didn't need as many people to accomplish the tasks due to the new internet world and computor advances.

Now we're in transition, growing ourselves into the new computor age and the types of jobs needed will change. People will need to be learning new skills and new ways to make a living wage.

With the computor and internet, we already lost our privacy, but weren't told about it. Our phones and cell phones were never secure anyway, we just didn't know about it. Things like your credit report, medical information and what you buy at the grocery store is alreay targeted by marketing companies to know what people want. The patriot act probably actually gives us more privacy, as now there are hard and set rules as to how all this information should be used, and I'm sure you've gotten "privacy statements" from your bank, credit card co, and insurance agency telling you your rights.

Once our country was digitalized and online, all real privacy went out the window. The way I see the Patriot Act, is that if one is innocent one has nothing to worry about. I'm more worried about all the social laws now in force, such as having to wear a seat belt. That's what bothers me.

Anyway with the technology they don't need to have lots more people to do the job of security, just like the Armed forces, they have more efficient weapons, and technology and don't need to have as many soldiers. One point though about needing less people, that's only true if they get the right people who know what they are doing.


quote:
Tax cuts for working people, It's our money.

This is correct in that, it will offer tax cuts for employed persons, but they need to be making in the range of $200,000 or more annual income for it to be beneficial to them. I understand that the ‘Working American” will get a tax cut, but it will not be the average or the majority of our working Americans.

If I am wrong, can you please provide viable information regarding this.

I'm a working person and I don't make anywhere near 200,000/year. I saw the wonderful changes in the 2003 IRS tax book that helped me, and I got a nice refund this year, in spite of not having any children at home. I consider myself about average, as I own a home and it's just myself and husband. My state taxes were a quite a different matter. My state is Democrat and we have the most members in our state legislature in the country, even though we only have about 1 million people living here. We are taxed to death. I didn't get much back from the state.

[Quote]More self responsibility and less expecting Uncle Sam to take care of you.

This sounds like it has the potential to be beneficial, but as it stands this is a very vague statement. Can you explain this in Depth?
[/Quote}

Our country was founded on people who were self-sufficient, such as pioneers, the colonists, and has the heritage of being a country of independant self-starters. I wish to see that mind set continue. I'm against Socialist reforms that make a nanny government and make people dependant on the government.

I'll address the rest later. [Smile]

Christian principles guide this country

----------------------------------

LETTER
Our country was founded on Christian principles. The Mayflower Compact stated that colonist came to America "for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith." George Washington stated, "It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible."

You cannot separate a man's religious beliefs from the candidate himself. An example is the appointment of Supreme Court justices. These men and women decide what laws will be in effect as we raise our children, including abortion, gay marriage, pornography and displaying the Ten Commandments. Your choice for president is directly related to these decisions. It doesn't matter what the majority of the people of this country believe or support, it is the decisions of these men and women that decide our laws.

John Kerry blames President Bush for the economy. It started downhill six months before Bush took office. President Clinton didn't create a great economy, and Bush hasn't ruined ours. He faced a great challenge on Sept. 11, 2001 both for the morale of the country and the financial strength. He provided great leadership, something Kerry has never done in his terms in Congress. Kerry doesn't even have a plan for fixing the future Medicare crisis.

Iraq is another example. Kerry and John Edwards criticize Bush for being involved in Iraq. Both men supported taking action if Saddam didn't abide by the United Nations stipulations. John Edwards even stated that "Saddam Hussein has chemical and biological weapons." Saddam laughed at the United Nations. The United States stepped up and took action based on the information available.

Finally, there is no law prohibiting research on embryonic stem cells, only using tax dollars to do it. The promising studies come from adult stem cells. If embryonic stem cells are so promising, why are there not privately funded major studies going on? The truth is this is a case of groups using this issue to state that embryos are not humans and creating them to later destroy them is OK. The research is very promising with adult stem cells that is government-funded.

I'm trying to get all this political stuff straightened out in my head so

I'll know how to vote come November. Right now, we have one guy saying one thing, then the other guy says something else. Who am I to believe?
Lemme see, have I got this straight?

Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good......
Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad.....

Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good.....
Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq - bad.....

Clinton imposes regime change in Serbia - good......
Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad.......

Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on behalf of Muslim Albanian terrorists - good.....
Bush liberates 25 million from a genocidal dictator - bad.....

Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - good.....
Bush bombs terrorist camps - bad......

Clinton commits felonies while in office - good......
Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit - bad......

No mass graves found in Serbia- good.....
No WMD found in Iraq - bad......

Stock market crashes in 2000 under Clinton - good......
Economy on upswing under Bush - bad......

Clinton refuses to take custody of Bin Laden - good....
World Trade Centers fall under Bush - bad......

Clinton says Saddam has nukes - good.....
Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad.....

Terrorist training in Afghanistan under Clinton - good.....
Bush destroys training camps in Afghanistan - bad....

Milosevic not yet convicted - good.....
Saddam turned over for trial - bad.....

Ahh, it's so confusing!!!

Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the average tax burden on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom Day".
This is the day after which the money you earn goes to you, not the government.
This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has been since 1991.
It's latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in 2000.
Notice anything special about these dates??

Recently John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are actually paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave no explanation and provided no data for this claim.

Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men.
Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas.
Kerry owns 4 mansions, all worth several million dollars. (his ski resort home in Idaho is an old barn brought over from Europe in pieces...not your average A-frame.)

Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year Kerry paid $90,000. Does that sound right?
The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured out a way to avoid paying his own.

By the way, can you provide a link to what Bush said?
I provided it in the other Topic, about Kerry Accepting Blood Money, along with a discussion regarding it.

Tyme


I'll be glad to tell you why I shall be voting for Kerry, just not on this topic, this was for all of you to tell me why I should vote for Bush.

So far, I have seen, mostly, Only attacks on Kerry, expected, but boring to tell the truth.

I was hoping for more along the lines of "Bush as done this for (So-n-So) help our country, and provide (For persons type) but, in the end, He didn't do that. What has he done for me, to justify me voting for him.

If he has done nothing for me, then he has done nothing to earn my Vote. It’s really simple.
He’s running for president, Not Pope, I do not care about his religious convictions.

What matters is things like “in what way has he proved that he can run this county?”

Why do you all really feel, that Bush deserves a Second Term? Is that a hard question?

In what way, has he made your life better?

What shall he do for this country, it's people, this nation as a whole if given another 4 years?

Watch a Bush Add lately?

It not about what he will do, it’s about “Iraq, Gays, Abortion” none of which provide for the people on pensions and welfare, get necessary medications, None of which helps a single mother of two children (Because she chose life)

What has Bush done for the people, you know, us, the people he’s supposed to serve.
Maybe not me directly, but people I know, how has he impacted the life of my community for the better?

This was a wholly depressing Topic, as I have seen, little to no real reason to Vote for Bush so far, beyond the amazing skills of people who lamblast Kerry.

Kerry's IMMORALITY SUPPORT FAR OUTWEIGHS ANYTHING YOU CAN COME UP WITH AGAINST Bush...

But then you already know that deep down, don't you...


Out there? Maybe - But one wonders when you accuse some one of beign too hung up on the Gay agenda, as though you support it - But then you have not answered anyone's questions anyway...

It is NOT ABOUT ANSWERING questions!!

Humm, for someone that does not feel that “Answering Questions” is important, you sure ask a lot of them, don’t you.

So, basically, You can’t answer this question, or won’t answer this question, and better yet, you ask if I am Gay, which is just completely hilarious.

Your really out there, aren’t you? (I don’t want an aswer from you, this is not a real question)

Well, You can ignore this, I never really needed an answer anyway, I saw that you refuse to address this question directly, and that was enough. it’s not really important. Go in peace on it.

Your going to have to square this with Jesus some day, when you Die, that you supported someone in the Name of God, who did things you had to turn a blind eye to.

Support Bush, but you might want to remove the religious Connotations from your “Support” if he is doing things you cannot directly address.

Do what ever you need to do to sleep well at night.

Tyme,

Our president speaks from the heart, and he has said things that he hasn't meant before. Whether he believes this or not I don't know. I tend to think he doesn't and what his point was that all Muslims are not terrorists. I don't know. But at least he talks about prayer and Jesus. I haven't heard Kerry mention our Savior once...

But can you answer me as to why you are voting for Kerry now? I really would like to know your reasons. [Smile]

By the way, can you provide a link to what Bush said?

As for the links you provided: Well, personally, I would not go to an Islamic Priest to find out the Good new of Christianity, maybe you would, but, I won’t.

You're just full of bitterness and hate aren't you...

TYME!

It is NOT ABOUT ANSWERING questions!!

It IS ABOUT MORALITY -

Your open support of IMMORALITY demonstrates clearly that you are being led around by the Enemy...

Lacking ideas - Sure...If you say so...

So tell me, are you gay?

My reasons are simple -

He supports morality by standing against immoral issues

Kerry supports immorality by standing WITH immoral issues...

That is not to hard to understand - You have NO basis for your defense, at all...

If it were the democrat standing for morality, I would vote democrat - The Bible dictates we stand for Morality, period - NOT OPENLY SUPPORT BABY KILLING AND GAY RIGHTS!

WHat part of KERRY OPENLY SUPPORTS IMMORALITY HAVE YOU MISSED?

And, WHAT PART OF BUSH OPENLY STANDS AGAINST IMMORALITY HAVE YOU MISSED?

So, what has anything you have said, have to do with voting for Bush?

Are you so lacking for Ideas my friend?

And still yet, you refused to answer my question, but attacked me instead. Wow, talk about red herring.

I’ll ask again how do you deal with the fact that Cheney’s daughter is an practicing open proud homosexual who claims that “Homosexuals are Born that way” and has the support of both the entire Cheney family and Bush family?

And, Someone’s daughter has much to do with it, you see, you cannot be against the Agenda, if you support such an outspoken supporter of the Agenda, like her. She is very, so very, important.

So, tell me, How do you get around this little tid bit?

I’ll answer your question, when you have answered mine.

Till you can answer it, I suggest you ask yourself if your compromising your faith in the name of a “Political Party” have you become so ground into the “World” that you have chosen “Republican” over “Christian”?

When Asked why one should vote for Bush.
Ripp Wrote:
Jesus is his Savior.

So, Jesus is the Savor of 76% of the people in America, and an unknown amount of people outside this country. Not really something that qualifies a person to be a competent president.

Based on this, He’s more qualified then a Homeless person, How?

And Then again, to Bush, Allah and Jehovah are the same God, so, is Jesus just a prophet or the messiah?

He outlawed partial birth abortion.

I dealt with this above, but I’ll ask again

But answer me this Question: “This improves my life in what way?

Better yet: “What is the benefit of this Law to me?”

He will fight terror.

You are incorrect on this assumption, Bush will not fight Terror. Bush will appoint cabinet members and individuals that will use the existing channels that have been built by the presidents and officers of the government before him, to defend this country against it’s enemies, foreign and domestic, using federal, state, and local enforcement channels that were established before his term in office. Just like every President before him, and every president after him will do. So I am not sure on your point regarding this.

However he did fail defending this country against the tower attacks (Just the Facts). As a matter of fact, it was on his watch, that America suffered the largest civilian causalities to foreign attacker since the revolutionary war.

So I guess I could be wrong about his defense, I think it might be more along the lines of seeking vengeance for the injuries that get inflicted. Because, he did indeed fail to “Defend” the country, that is irrefutable.

He won't give control of our country to the UN.

I have no idea why this is valuable to you. No president before him, or do I believe any president after him, regardless, will give control of this country “Over to” anyone.

So I have no idea what your point is.

He won't take a 'Global Test' before defending our nation.

Is this where he “Enforced UN sanctions” but does so “With out Un Approval”?

Please clarify.

He will appoint conservative judges who are moral.

By Who’s standard? His?

He doesn't change his mind every time the wind blows.

Humm I guess this is what you get when you only get your news form Republican sites. It’s lovely is it not, when you let others tell you what someone else said.

But in the words of John Edwards:

“The American people do not need you tell them what Kerry said”

I would have to say that sums up this confusion the best. You see, you only think Kerry “Flip Flops” because that is what your told to think. Or more to the point, it is what you want to think.

Kerry has kept this stands, so far, from start to finish. Just like he always has.

He hasn't commited war crimes.

Odd thing about Bush, we can’t even prove he completed his term in the NG. When you come to think about it, Kerry, has let his history be seen, and meanwhile, Bush has locked his records, and is running and hiding from his past.

Just the Facts you know, and in Bush’s case, More so the facts you don’t know.

But from what we do know, Unlike Bush, Kerry Did as he said he would do, he made a promise to serve this country and he Did. Bush, sadly can not say the same.

When his Country Called, Kerry put on his combat Greens and served in the war, as he said he would, until the terms and conditions of the completion of his service were met. Not a day before, nothing but completion. Straight and Honest. Like a TRUE Christian.

He realized he made a mistake, and did all that he could to fix and correct that mistake. Unlike, well, the current man in office.

When asked, Kerry admitted he did things he was not proud of. Like a True Christian, he told the truth and accepted his actions.

Bush? Well. You know how this story Goes, we can’t even get him to admit he Might have made a mistake about the WMD’s. Talk about a man that will not admit to his mistakes, you can’t repent of your sins, if you don’t admit you have them.

So, Bush has a history of abandonment and failure to follow though with his promises, complete and utter unrepentant of his sins, his lies, and holds a level of contempt for any and all that might ‘Stand up to him’.

Some day Ripp, you will realize that you have been are being deceived into believing that “Bush is a Devote Christian”

Someones daughter has little to do with it.

You (Tyme) apparently support the Homosexual agenda. That is interesting. What does this mean

Tyme Writes
P.S.; I have to ask, if you are against Homosexual Agenda so much,

Does that mean you are not? Are you tolerant?

Do you attend a church with a Gay Bishop as well?

If you move to Mass you can have your kids learn how to use Sex toys - Be taught about Alternative lifestyles, and be taught it is ok to be gay at 5 years old.

Jesus was particular about the Children - I am curious how you will address that with him...

"Well, ya know, I didn't think being gay was a big deal, and I didn't think same sex marriage was a big deal, and I don't care about killing babies and children - I want to save my wife instead, doesn't matter what the bible says"

That is gonna be a good conversation, eh??

Wow

That did not take Long for the Kerry attacks to start. Predictable.

But in case you missed this, I’ll say this again

“Why should I vote For Bush” was the question.

The fact that you responded with an attack on John Kerry tells me that you don’t’ have any material to work with, not a single thing to say that shows Bush in a good light, to say to people “Look what Bush has done for you” “this is why you should vote for Bush!” and you have come up with? No motivation at all why Bush should be in office? No even a blanket statement, or vague ideal, you have not a single accomplishment or word of reason as to why I should Vote for Bush?

That is just Depressing, really, really depressing, that you of all people have Nothing to say regarding what is good about Bush. You have no means to say why he should be in office other then why Kerry should not?

Well, I guess, if you can find no Good in your own candidate, why are you going to vote for him again?

Here is someone you might want to vote for However Peroutka

Tyme.

P.S.; I have to ask, if you are against Homosexual Agenda so much, how do you deal with the fact that Cheney’s daughter is an practicing open proud homosexual who claims that “Homosexuals are Born that way” and has the support of both the entire Cheney family and Bush family?

In Kerry's Own Words:


ABORTION:
quote:
1994: The right thing to do is to treat abortions as exactly what they are — a medical procedure that any doctor is free to provide and any pregnant woman free to obtain. Consequently, abortions should not have to be performed in tightly guarded clinics on the edge of town; they should be performed and obtained in the same locations as any other medical procedure.... [A]bortions need to be moved out of the fringes of medicine and into the mainstream of medical practice. And by the same token, if our children are to be safe from the danger of fanaticism, tolerance needs to spread out of the mainstream churches, mosques, and synagogues, and into the religious fringes.

Thank you for your Post WhyteEagle, Truly a great post!

I would like to discuss what you have said, hopefully in a civil way.

Regarding what you said.
What do you mean by “Smaller Government”

Can you define this, as I checked, Bush has plans to implement a 3rd (Third) information collection agency to handle collaboration between the FBI and CIA. Which will result in expansion of the Government Facilities.

Bush as well has created new jobs (This is where the Government hires people to keep the unemployment rate down)

As well as the “Patriot Act” that empowers government agencies with even more access to our personal information and such, so the cost for equipment to keep track of this, can not by any means “Shrink” the overall size of the federal government.

Please expand upon this point.

Tax cuts for working people, It's our money.

This is correct in that, it will offer tax cuts for employed persons, but they need to be making in the range of $200,000 or more annual income for it to be beneficial to them. I understand that the ‘Working American” will get a tax cut, but it will not be the average or the majority of our working Americans.

If I am wrong, can you please provide viable information regarding this.

More self responsibility and less expecting Uncle Sam to take care of you.

This sounds like it has the potential to be beneficial, but as it stands this is a very vague statement. Can you explain this in Depth?

More emphasis on Charities helping the poor, not government handouts to help the poor.

Now if I read this correctly, what you are saying is that Instead of using the money they collect in taxes to help the needy, the government wants us to make a separate donation to private charities that will help the poor?

Please verify if I comprehend this correctly.

If this is the path that, it shall go in, then: Will this involve a tax cut for the middle class, or for anyone that has ‘Donated’?

Please explain.

Enabling people to make their own lives better, not expecting the government to make it better.

This has the makings, or at least sounds as if it is a noble ideal, but it maintains an aura of mystery and vagueness, can you explain by what methods and means this shall be done, and what shall the final product yield to allow for improvement that does not already exist to the current working class citizen?

Giving children a real education from truly qualified teachers, not a math teacher trying to teach science. And focusing on the curriculum, not social issue in the schools.

Are you referring to the “No Child Left Behind” program that Bush created and has recently cut funding for? Or is this a different plan?

Please explain. As I like this ideal, but I am confused in a manner as it might contradict the above ‘Empowerment” plans that Bush administration has planned.

His belief in defending our country and his belief in things like honor, God and loyalty and truth.

This can be a hot topic, regarding the lies and falsehoods of any administration of the Government. But, if you can offer validation that the “Bush Administration” has maintained a higher level of integrity then pervious administrations, this could stand to be true.

I do not see, not has it been presented that the “Bush Administration” have proven itself to be superior in the above ideals then previous administrations, and in many cases prove to not hold up the above ideals as have a great many of previous administrations.

So I am not sure by what means you are presenting this.

However, I will easily concede that this is more a personal opinion and is open to view point of the individual on this subject, so there is really no debate regarding it.

He passed the Ban of partial-birth abortion after it passed both houses of Congress.

I do not see this as an improvement, as Partial Birth Abortions are almost never done, accounting for a miniscule amount of overall abortions, and are almost never, if ever, done as a means of “Abortions on Demand” because they are late term, all the woman had gotten past the “OH No, I’m pregnant” so this can be an touchy issue.

I would like to interject that one of the things that still bothers me about this Ban is that it did not allow for the necessity of said abortion to be done to save the life of the mother, thus placing the life of the mother below, or “Less then” the life of the unborn child.

So in the rare cases that this would need to be done, he has only traded killing one person for another. (IE: Killing the Mother to save the Child, as opposed to killing the Child to save the Mother) Someone dies anyway, so no one wins.

I’ll also concede that they are done, if the child is heavily malformed or not fully formed and does not stand a chance of survival if brought to term, and in this rare case, all that was really done, is prolong the “Infants” suffering, best case is the continued suffering of the “Human” and require yet another person to be dependent on the government for their very life, I still do not see a win here.

But if it makes you happy, I can respect that because you are “Pro-Life” and any ban on abortion, regardless of how little, is still a step forward for you, and I can totally admire that.

However I do not see how that is a reason to vote for the ‘Current Administration” as this law does not either benefit me in any way shape or form I’ll even explain how this “Ban” can be detrimental to me in the future.

(Clinton vetoed the ban twice) This is not a necessary reference, but since you brought it up.

The Reason why Clinton Vetoed it Twice, (this needs to be said) is because it made no amends to save the mother, and that is also why Kerry Voted against it.

So, Now thanks to “Bush Administration”

This law now forces to me to watch helpless, as the hospital kills my wife to save my unborn child (Because it is now illegal to choose to save my wife), if there is a major complication during the third trimester.

Let me Give you an Example:

My Wife goes into Cardiac Arrest and her heart Stops. The EMT shows up on the scene with a crash cart, ready try and bring her back to life. They see her pregnant belly, and now by law can’t do anything to save her. Because If they use the crash cart paddles on you when your heart is beating, you heart will stop. So they can’t ‘Shock her” because they will stop the “unborn Childs heart” they are forced to let my wife die, and hope to cut the child from her dead body in an attempt save it, if they are lucky.

In the End, My wife Dies because they were not allowed to even try and save her. A life shall be lost that day, maybe two.

I still cannot get past the idea that there is this belief that there is a benefit in treating the life of the mother as worth less then life of the child. I do not see a win by the passing of this law for anyone. Well, anyone that values life.

The only difference now, is that the choice has been taken away from all of us.

John Kerry does not promote or think abortion is the correct choice. Just like me however Kerry does not need some written secular government Law to know what God has told him is right and just.

If my wife was pregnant, it would be our child. To be born of us, into this world, with love, as God intended. There is No law can force that to happen.

I did not mean for this to be harsh, but to put things into perspective regarding this law, it is not truly as great as it was marketed to be.

He has banned the use of new embyonic stem cell lines for research. (I've studied this subject quite a bit, and it's a lie that science Needs embyonic stem cells, Adult stem cells are just as viable for cures and research.)

I had no idea that Adults even had “Stem cells” as these cells can form into any ‘Body Part’ and the research I have done says the Adult Cells are worthless because they have become fixed cells and can not be changed into different cell production components, thus nearly stopping stem cell research in it’s entirety, and allowing other countries to gain an advantage on us in the medical industry.

If I am wrong, and what you say is true, then please show me how this has helped the progress of Stem Cell research, please point me in the correct direction regarding your research on this subject, as I know I do not have complete knowledge on this subject, nor did I even pretend such.

Tyme.

When President Bush, was asked if being a homosexual was a choice, he said he did not know.

Want my honest opinion? I feel he (Bush) is the lesser of two evils. I don't trust, like, or really even agree with either one of them.

Mrs. Kerry Would Focus on 'Gay Tolerance' As First Lady


By Susan Jones
CNSNews.com Morning Editor
October 19, 2004

(CNSNews.com) - If her husband is elected president, Teresa Heinz Kerry "pledges to make gay tolerance a centerpiece of her First Lady duties," an online media company reported.

In an exclusive interview with PlanetOut -- which describes itself as a gay media company -- Mrs. Kerry made a distinction between sex and sexuality.

She told PlanetOut's senior political correspondent Chris Bull, "A lot of people, particularly those of the more fundamentalist view, think of homosexuality as a sex thing rather than a sexuality thing. They are really very different."

Mrs. Kerry was quoted as saying, "A person doesn't choose their sexuality. For the other side, there's a tinge of the suggestion of sin, of the choice of 'misbehavior,' quote-unquote, which is not the case at all."

Mrs. Kerry spoke with PlanetOut on Friday, following the flap over her husband's remarks about Mary Cheney.

In the third and final presidential debate on Oct. 13, Sen. John Kerry -- in response to a question about whether homosexuality is a matter of choice -- said, "I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was, she's being who she was born as. I think if you talk to anybody, it's not choice."

Both Vice President and Mrs. Cheney expressed anger over Kerry's deliberate mention of their daughter's sexual orientation; some debate watchers called Kerry's remark gratuitous and calculated to alienate social conservatives; and homosexual advocacy groups wondered what all the fuss was about, given their opinion that the Bush administration uses homosexuality as a wedge issue.

According to PlanetOut's Chris Bull, "It is easy to see why she (Mrs. Kerry) connects with gays and lesbians. Even though she does not have gay children and opposes same-sex marriage, she comes across as the picture of a PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) mom, the kind of middle-aged straight woman who gets the warmest reception at Pride parades."

In the interview, Mrs. Kerry said she was surprised that her husband's comments about Mary Cheney inspired such a furor, when her husband was "being positive and complimentary of how the Cheneys have handled, openly, the question of their daughter's lesbianism."

She said if her husband had been asked that same question in one of the primary season debates, he might have mentioned Rep. Dick Gephardt's lesbian daughter, Chrissy, instead.

The San Francisco-based PlanetOut Inc. says its flagship websites, Gay.com and PlanetOut.com, "constitute the most extensive network of gay and lesbian people in the world."

NOW THAT IS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO EH???

I'm voting for Pres. Bush because he stands for concepts of government that I agree with such as:

Smaller Government
Tax cuts for working people, It's our money.
More self responsibility and less expecting Uncle Sam to take care of you.
More emphasis on Charities helping the poor, not government handouts to help the poor.
Enabling people to make their own lives better, not expecting the government to make it better.
Giving children a real education from truly qualified teachers, not a math teacher trying to teach science. And focusing on the curriculum, not social issue in the schools.
His belief in defending our country and his belief in things like honor, God and loyalty and truth.
He passed the Ban of partial-birth abortion after it passed both houses of Congress. (Clinton vetoed the ban twice)
He has banned the use of new embyonic stem cell lines for research. (I've studied this subject quite a bit, and it's a lie that science Needs embyonic stem cells, Adult stem cells are just as viable for cures and research.)

I agree he can't make government smaller in 4 years or get rid of welfare in 4 years, it will take Americans to agree this is a better way to go, than to follow the Socialist philosophy of Hilary and Bill Clinton, Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry. It doesn't take a village....

As much as I love to be attacked for my Choice to support John Kerry, and as it seems, on many ‘Christian’ Boards, one can not mention they support Kerry, without at least one person pronouncing them pagan or something similar, but putting that aside for the moment.

Since the election is such a hot topic, and little over a week away, I figured it was as good as time as any to post this question and see what would come of it.

Can anyone here give me reasons to vote FOR Bush in this upcoming election?

or (Rephrased)

“Why should I vote FOR Bush?”

This should be a simple Question.

Let us see what shall come of this.

Tyme.
