How many Tea Party candidates that were elected were pro-abortion or pro-homosexual rights?Actually, we don't know, because it was never brought up. Nor should it be.
So, we should just allow the radical homosexual lobby to deny Christians their civil rights?
Is there no protest allowed when our religious freedom is threatened?
And why would any right thinking person NOT bring it up?
Why should our tax dollars be used to push abortions and the prohomo pursuits?
You make like funding Planned Murderhood and the Pro pervert lobby but me and millions of others say NO but HELL NO!
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. ......reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. "--From President George Washinton's farewell address, 1796
Their personal opinions on abortion don't matter to you, because you are not an unborn child and you apparently care very little about those who are. But for the lives that stand to be violently ended by abortion, and for those who recognize the value of those lives, the opinion of Congress on the matter is vital.
And saying that the states, not Congress, should decide on abortion is sheer evasion. The states cannot decide the matter. Why not? Because Congress is full of lawmakers whose personal opinions are pro-abortion, and the president often is pro-abortion, too, and so they fill the Supreme Court with justices who will protect abortion.
I understand that you don't care much whether or not the unborn are killed. But you have to understand that many others are not going to accept a Republican Party that is purportedly too busy cutting spending to bother about abortionists cutting up babies.
BS. That is not an answer to the question. Just because the pro-life issue was not as prominent as in previous election cycles does not mean the overwhelming majority of candidates having Tea Party backing weren't pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-God. Look it up.
This is a fundamental issue candidates are never asked. And they never volunteer the answer. But it is the essence of Constitutional representation.
I plan to ask every future candidate that exact question. If they fail to answer, they fail to qualify.
