Abortion is murder, an embryo planted by GOD; no one has the right to abort it except GOD. Also on Gay Rights they should not marry, Matthew 19:3-4 says a man and a woman. Not the same sex. If our would be leader is a Christian man as he says, he should uphold the bible and its teachings. It saddens and angers me that there is so much sin that is whitewashed by our leaders just to get the vote.

"Vote The Bible" is the banner that comes to mind if you"re a Christian looking at todays issues and candidates. Christian values are black and white in that that they're either right or holy or wrong or evil. God does not accept the middle of the road view.
Abortion is wrong. Human women don't have kittens, or birds, or any other animals. They have human children. And that is from the moment of conception til delivery. Were is the edict that shows justice and mercy that kills the helpless child for the sins or wrongs of others? Where is the rights of the silient innocents? After all, aren't they human, and therefore covered by the constitution and the bill of Rights? The Bible says he knew us and called us by name from and before the womb. Doesn't that indicate anything? But then you have to believe it to have any value.
To those that are given much, much is expected. True words. Has the pursuit of the almighty dollar made us so greedy that the rich should object to a tax plan that that taxes them a little higher than the person than has not those special talents or oportunities that others have had? Can they look at the poor and disadvantaged and not feel any urge to make things better for those who want to have better life and work for it? America, the richest country in the world, has starving chilren on it's streets. It's elderly are forgotten and swept into "nursing" homes where they wait to die, forgotten by those they raised for 18 to 30 years. The rich get richer and the poor, well they just die sooner. And other countries that are poorer than we are still have universal health care. Have we become so selfish?
Have we elected officals to do the job we really want done, or have we voted for the lesser of two evils and then bitched about the job they're doing, doing nothing about. VOTE! Vote your values, Vote your heart! Know your candidates. The Vote The Bible!

Hi,
I just finished listening to the forum for the Presidency.
You know, Barack Obama, is so very heavy upstairs (meaning SMART/INTELLIGENT). We think he would make an excellent President. People think it is time for a Black President. Maybe that's why the Democrats nominated him over the other candidate. We also think Senator Hillary R. Clinton will make an excellent President, too & will very possibly be our first woman President in the future. We love both of them. We like McCain, too. All are good candidates, but the American people can only pick one. We think it's going to be "OBAMA" for the President.
