No deal, Rudy

Third Roman Catholics don't like to let the church (especially the Roman Catholic Church) decide for them who to vote for when it comes to politics.

The Church has a responsibility to educate voters regarding the principles behind just voting, since in a democracy, the people have a responsibility to vote properly.

The fundamental purpose of the State is the advancement of the temporal welfare of its citizens. It necessarily follows that the primary duty of the State is to defend the lives of its citizens. Any politician who advocates laws tolerating the killing of innocent people is unworthy of holding any public office.

Well, I agree with you when put that way. At least there i something we agree on. :)

Are the murdered babies none of your business?

Posting the same "facts" over and over and over IS spam.

[Corin Stormhands]

Thanks a lot.

You're very welcome.

[BlackbirdSST]

I completely refuted your post.

LMAO! Babble is not a refutation. Blackbird.

You got it - they are none of my business. And none of yours, BTW. One would think that the Prohibition was lesson enough, but some people never learn.

[BunnySlippers]

Absolutely hilarious!!!! :-D

Are you comparing being able to buy a beer with killing a unborn child? Drink wine, slaughter children, whatever you're into, I suppose?

[DOGEY]

You Rudy folks should really, really heed what this article is saying...

Your right. Hillary will do a lot more for the cause.

[MHGinTN]

'Their' sexual proclivities are not the issue, slob. It's the killing of alive unborn children which piques our interest ... LIFE, liberty, you know, those fundamental values enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

This is why we have no real choices during elections. This is why many people do not vote. Why?

1) The Electoral College is a failed system and must be changed or done away with so that the candidate will be forced to espouse the principles of his true constituents.
2) The party gate keepers have relaxed the constraints placed upon any candidate seeking the Republican ticket. They should be booted out. OR...
3) If this continues to happen, you will see a new Conservative Party rise to the occasion since the GOP has been high-jacked. Yes, a third party! You heard right. NOT independent, but CONSERVATIVE.
4) We need a national referendum on serious societal issues such as immigration, gays, abortion, term limits, pardons, and electoral processes. This way it can get a little closer to being of, by and for the people.
The Left has gone Marxist and the Right has gone Liberal. Why is being Liberal considered progress or a move foreword? Some of you in here are PC and multicultural Liberals pretending to be conservative with a wet noodle for a spine. Offended? Then that means you.

Maybe for some, but not for me. What really troubles me about Rudy is that he doesn't understand why the Second Amendment is our best defense against an enemy within. Its purpose is to empower every male of fighting age to be an agent to protect this country.

It's troubling on several levels. That his position is a step backward is clear.

One of the problems of the last several decades has been federal usurpation of issues best left to the states. In this instance Rudy takes a federally protected right and essentially supports delegating it to the states, where inroads can be made more easily, moulding attitudes.

If a federal official or candidate believes handgun bans, assault weapon bans, and licensing are constitutional, he should have the courage to propose them on a federal level. Not to the states and courts in an effort to build momentum.

IMO this brings his promise to appoint conservative judges into question as well.

A relevant thread.

[gogeo]

Those posts were not impressive.

We have considered the next 8 years of Hillary, that's why we are fighting to prevent Rudy from getting nominated. If he does get nominated the results will be 8 years of Hillary, and you'll have no one to blame but YOURSELF my FRiend. Below is a letter you can expect to get in the mail if Rudy is nominated...

If you seriously believe that, then your problem is a larger one than immaturity.

[gogeo]

My hands look just fine. I suppose one tactic I could follow is to wait for the anti-Rudy foamers to rant themselves out, as I did with my then three year old daughter...but she was a faster learner.

You can post all the cross dressing photos you want, and vent all your overblown rhetoric...in the end, you'll still sound like a college student.

[Fierce Allegiance]

LOL< I could care less about Rudy's cross dressing pics, but the fact he raised money for an anti-war communist group doesn't sit well wiith me.

1) No single position should be a "disqualifier".

For better or for worse, 2nd Amendment advocates disagree with you.

So is John McCain. Both said they first debate will be at the Reagan Library. Mrs. Reagan extended the invitation and they accepted as their first debate. Why attend one sponsored by CNN in NH? I would not attend anything by CNN if I were a candidate. John McCain is going to be in Iraq and Rudy already had some things scheduled but the main deal is that the first real debate is scheduled at the Reagan Library.

Why don't you get your facts straight?
