You: "Because he is president of a diverse nation. I agree homosexuality is immoral. It doesn't appear that he's appointed any to positions from which they can significantly impact the political/moral landscape."

Me: These are politically correct excuse and you know it. He appointed atleast TWO homos to postions of authority. COnsdiering that homos make up 1-2% of the ENTIRE population in the U.S., I'd say that is out of line. Will that impact morality - YES! He's suggesting that this is normal and they are equal in judgement to those who are atleast heterosexuals. They are not equal. It's like saying okay so the guy is a thief let's put him in charge of education. In short, you trust the judgement and nor should this person have respect and be put into a position of authority.

"Also if Bush is a born again Christian, WHY did he open pandoras box and okay EMBRYONIC stem cell research AFTER he sent out NUMNEROUS letters to concervative organizations saying he would NOT okay this?"

You: You do realize that Bush only authorized continuing research on the existing stem cell cultures but did not allow the killing of any more embryoes to obtain stem cells, right?"

Me: COrrect - exisiting embryonic stem cells even though he LIED to conservative organizations through letters stating that he WOULD NOT okay this. Besides it is WRONG to do this to begin with. So, he blatently lied and compromised himself on embryonic stem cell research.

He will NOT have my vote next time. I simply have to listen to my conscience.

Personally I would trust any ten fairys that Bush might appoint to these low level staffer positions than I would any of the idiots that Chuck Baldwin would recommend. I mean can you seriously take the advice of people that see God's face in a thunder cloud or attribute every tornado outbreak to God's vengence over Israel. Next Baldwin wont allow divorced people to serve in Government. He might even prohibit appointments of Catholics, after all some wingnuts consider them a cult. Maybe later Baldwin might eliminate all women because according to the scriptures they must be subject to their husbands and barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

If homosexuality ever becomes accepted in this country it will not be because George Bush appointed some Log Cabin Republicans to low level positions, but because extremists like Chuck Baldwin make the gays look good by comparison.

So you're talking quotas? I was talking appointing the best person for the job.He's suggesting that this is normal and they are equal in judgement to those who are atleast heterosexuals.

So Newt Gingrich should have been tossed out on his ear when he told his wife (while she lay in her hospital bed) that he wanted a divorce? That seems very immoral to me. (I agree with Newt on politics, but this was an utterly distasteful act on his part.)

Sorry, we disagree on this. I don't see how it could be considered a lie. The concern was the destruction of embryoes to obtain their stem cells. With Bush's decision, that is not permitted.

Fine, don't vote for Bush next time. Who will it be? Dean? Kerry? Or will you simply not vote?
