		<description>Admin you either are a blind Obama supporter or do not understand his voting/position on partial birth abortion.  

Look here:

http://www.frcaction.org/videos

Regarding Christians not being required to answer on "judgment day".  Could it be that the one's who said "Master, Master we cast out demons and healed the sick in Your name"  are the "Christians" who would also vote to support a person who supports partial abortion?

		<description>How's this:

I believe that marriage by definition is between one man and one woman.  I will always vote to keep it that way

OR

Homosexuals are now arguing that the government should not care so much about marriage.  I agree.  The government should have nothing to do with marriage.  And marriage should not determine legal rights

OR

If homosexuals have a legal right to marry based upon civil rights regarding medical benefits, etc., then so should cousins and siblings or any random couple who wants the civil benefits of marriage.  


There are plenty other arguments not based upon religion.  We as Christians must use these arguments when talking with people who nothing about faith.  But Christians should not be afraid to vote or make decisions based upon a worldview that is guided by faith.</description>

Jesus never lowered Himself into a political debate.  He resisted it, in fact.  I don't believe Jesus would vote.

I appreciate the horror and the graphic nature of the procedure you have described.  I also stipulate that Sen. Obama voted against a law which purported to stop such procedures.  However, Sen. Obama does not support such procedures being legal.  He voted against the law because it was a bad law and he had the balls to stand up against this "symbolism over substance" legislation.  Do not confuse a person's understanding of politics and what's best for this country with that same person's personal beliefs.

Do you believe that Christians will be required to answer for everything they have ever done on "judgment day"?  I believe that I am saved and my sins are gone.  I have been declared righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ.  There will be no judgment for me.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the response.  I just wanted to clear something up.

I was NOT addressing conservative/liberal.  I believe ALL true disciples of the Savior should be a ONE ISSUE voter.

That issue is if Jesus (Himself) had to vote who would He vote for.

One candidate wants to reverse Roe and leave it up to each individual state to legislate.

The other candidate voted to support the practice where the Dr. uses ultra sound to determine the position of a near full term baby, then grap (with forcepts) the baby's legs and pull the body out... just leaving the head inside the mother.  Then the Dr. inserts scissors into the brain through the base of the skull then opens the scissors (making the hole larger) thereby allowing the Dr. access to place a vacuum tube into the skull to remove the brain.  At that time the now dead baby is delivered.

How do you think a disciple of Jesus Christ would explain that vote on judgement day?

I believe these are eternal consequences not conservative/liberal.</description>

		<description>mssc54~

I respect Huntly Brown's take on the situation and, as long as people are content to be one-issue voters, there is very little I can say.  This is a great big country, in a great big world, with great big problems.  I do not believe that the abortion debate is the world ending problem many conservatives believe it to be.  I hate abortion, as I have always said.  I also do not believe that the conservative plan to pass a law to stop it is the best way to bring down the number of abortions performed.  I have said all this already and you, mssc54 in particular, are like talking to a brick wall.  You don't hear me when I say I am against abortion.  You also, apparently, have missed the several places where I have said I am NOT planning to vote for Obama.  This will be my last response to you, mssc54, on this subject.</description>

		<description>Hey Matty - I'm sorry that happened to you.  It's hard to be judged and not have a chance to discuss or defend your viewpoints.  Unfortunately too many people are going to make snap decisions based on very little information.  I applaud you for being willing to share your views openly and introduce interesting conversations.</description>
