So ...Folks,that comic misses the mark and is cruel. So many seem to have bought into scare tactics that Obama is a socialist here to take your money. How absurd. Sure there are some freeloaders looking for handouts. There will always be some abuse of the system. But those of us who live in comfortable, climate controlled houses and have employers who pay a decent wage and provide health insurance really have NO IDEA what life is like for so many HARDWORKING Americans who struggle to survive. Democracy is built on helping others. Do you know that in 2000, running against Bush for the Republican nomination, McCain complained about Bush tax cuts saying "when you reach a certain level of comfort, there is nothing wrong with paying somewhat more"! To be Pro-Life means to answer a call to support and defend human life AT ALL STAGES - from conception until death. The best way to combat abortion is to give women and families the tools they need to choose life. Overturning Roe will not make abortion illegal and should not be the litmus test for choosing a candidate. BTW, I like McCain but was disappointed in his selection of Palin. This isn't a high school popularity contest people. She could not answer the simplest of questions! So self-absorbed! Obama doesn't worry me, but Nancy Pelosi and congress do. And so do you folks who are so judgmental and self-righteous! Too funny, LOL, Hilarious??

Your christian values are as scary to me as mine would be to you. Secondly, regulation does not equal socialism, de regulation is why we are in the financial fiasco we are in now. Secondly, I think as an American we have a moral responsibility to give of ourselves to improve our communities, dont bitch about having to give a little more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-22367695284419317312008-11-05T14:02:00.000-05:002008-11-05T14:02:00.000-05:00Wow.

How about we actually might get to keep more of the money we earn. But wait, increasing taxes on things like capital gains and corporations will just discourage investments and drive up the price of goods and services so essentially how much more will we really have? How will taxes passed on to the consumer help the poor? Do you really believe that the Gov't can spend your money better and more wisely than you can?<BR/><BR/>Also, when you buy your ammo, be sure that you've got plenty of guns to shoot it out of.

That kind of stuff isn't helpful, and it's not what I'm about. <BR/><BR/>To The Johnsons: I wish there were more democrats who were truly pro-life, and less republicans who were pro-abortion. I wish everybody were pro-life, and with that in mind, that we then worked out how best to care for the people who are already born. I still would favor private solutions over government solutions, but I'd love to have that debate while recognizing that life is sacred. Sadly, the candidates at the top of the tickets disagree on this issue, so I have to support the one who does not condone the murder of babies.<BR/><BR/>To Amy: Nobody is suggesting that abortion be illegal in cases where the life of the mother is in jeopardy. Arguably that is the only reason that an abortion might be a viable option for a Christian. As for the 3% increase you will see, I will come out better under Obama's plan than McCain's too. But since 1.3 million babies are aborted each year, that issue trumps tax breaks in my mind. And further, the tax break I get will come out of the pocket of someone else, and I don't want the government to steal money on my behalf. It's the golden rule. <BR/><BR/>To Darby: Sorry for hijacking your blog post again. I promise I'm done.Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144305380117130694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-53523158400695267502008-10-23T20:53:00.000-05:002008-10-23T20:53:00.000-05:00Oh my goodness!

I like to decorate my house, make Halloween costumes for my kids, bake pumpkin rolls and ride my son to school in my bike trailer. And we make lots of money and will see a 3% increase under Barack's plan, and I WELCOME IT! Several months ago my doctors--the best in Houston--informed me that I would have to choose my unborn baby or my life. My life is not my own. It is also for a precious 2-year-old boy and a loving, fair and honest husband. I chose life. I chose my own life for my son and my husband. Thank God I had that choice. Thank God other peoples' black and white views on abortion were not imposed upon me. Because of the choice I had, my son has a mother. My husband, a wife.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-71937705864428671952008-10-23T19:36:00.000-05:002008-10-23T19:36:00.000-05:00So here I go…Why can’t there be a happy medium? Wh...So here I go…<BR/>Why can’t there be a happy medium? Why is it so hard to believe and understand that democrat does NOT always equal socialism, pro-abortion, and tax hungry.<BR/>Why can’t there be a democrat who is God fearing and God loving, a democrat who is pro-life and understands the need for much reform in that area, a democrat who cares for the unborn just as much as she cares for the children who are here now and suffer, a democrat who is compassionate about all not just those that are the same as I, a democrat who believes that a child shall never go hungry, a democrat who supports the troops and supports programs that make sure they are well taken care off when they return and there after, a democrat who believes a wife should not have to watch her husband die because their insurance refuses to pay for a transplant due to a “pre-existing” condition, a democrat who believes that education should be a priority and we as a nation should provide for that, a democrat who tries to live her life without generalizations about others, and with all my might lives a life free of ignorance and free of beliefs in propaganda. I live a privileged life in many people’s eyes, but I have not always lived such a life. I have seen suffering and have experienced suffering, and only wish that a child and those in need of help receive it. Which is why I support a country in which my excess and my tax dollars go to such programs that provide in all I believe. No doubt there are extremists on both sides, but there are those such as myself who hope only for fairness and compassion.The Johnsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356928405779935762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030761737597217504.post-2849422232979243732008-10-23T19:21:00.000-05:002008-10-23T19:21:00.000-05:00I love the cartoon!!!!
