Bush vs Kerry

[Guest mcm42]

Hey Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get the stands from the candidates.

I don't have a Television, so I have a hard time keeping up with debates, and current issues.

Any websites that talk about the debates, or some things that the candidates are saying would be great.

Also, where does everybody stand on the issue? Bush or Kerry? Why?

[hippo's hope is HIM]

I don't know much about politics, but that Kerry dude is winning a lot.

My sis thinks that he is the Antichrist!

Hey, thanks LadyC,

That was good of you to post that.

Basically I see the Democrats as "liberal" in their world view as opposed to Republications who generally are "conservative".

If we want to see the homosexual agenda move ahead, then we would vote Democratic. Same with abortion. Same with euthenasia of the elderly. Same with "big government". Same with secularizing the entire school system. Same with removing the Ten Commandments from Court houses. Same with doing away with "In God We Trust" as our American motto.

So if anybody has any doubts as to where I stand, please ask me. Anyone who supports these things, I do not believe has a personal relationship with Christ.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

Hey, how come nobody metnions Nader? I like his stand for the most part.

[Guest Sportster]

Dad E.great post,also Lady! I really don't understand "Christians" who vote Democratic. It seems pretty obvious which party stands for what,as Lady posted. So how can we who call ourselves "Christian" vote in someone who doesn't support what we are supposed to stand for? The Republicans aren't perfect,even as Bushes stance is noted in some areas. But they SUREFIRE are a better choice than the Democrats,who support humanistic values and goals and antti-god agendas. It really surprises me that so many Christians don't understand. Nader? What good is he? One Accord,he supports the Palestinian cause over the Israeli's,do you know this? By supporting him,you support the Palestinian cause.

One thing about Kerry...he's both for and against a position at the same time. He's good at that. He's a better flip-flopper than Gore! That's saying something....not a 'good' something.... and if he gets in,the US will be the 'UN approved US'....noooo thank you!

:b: My sis thinks that he is the Antichrist!

Why is it that every major political leader gets accused of being the anti-christ by somebody?!

Yeh, Neb, I'd put all the names in a hat if I could find one big enough. I thought today was the day you were to have surgery. I'll pray for you anyway just in case it is.

blessings Nebula,

in His name, eric.

Surgery was yesterday.

But thanks!
