Republican is the pro life party and diametrically opposed to the Democratic official pro choice party line

Correction, republican is the pro-birth party...they have little to do with caring about life after that.

I agree. However I dont believe that just because you occasionally vote against abortion wins you the title of "Pro-life". I understand that I might have a different definition of what pro-life means. To me its more than just being against abortion; its about supporting people through their entire life.  Its about making education, healthcare, aid programs, and the like affordable and attainable. Its about basically everything that the republican party doesnt do.

 

I also understand that a lot of Catholics feel that there is only one political option and it is to be a republican in a Capitalist economy, but that just a very narrow view.  People worship capitalism and conservatism like idols and put these values before the values of their faith. (Minus abortion of course...thats about the only thing they do right.)

So being pro life means ensuring the above ... ensuring the above by growing the government?

 

But in my opinion that is not the best way to ensure those things. I vote for republicans because I believe the bedrock conservative philosophy towards government constitutes the best hope for the poor.

 

 Because I know the government has no use for the poor. Once government gathers enough strength it does away with them. It does this every time, and we are not so special that ours will not do this, too. This is the organizational behavior of government. Cesar does not share power forever.

reminds me of a chick I got into it with about abortion rights ... she said my ideas were part of the patriarchy and then tried to suggest my problem was that I hadn't been laid recently. :facepalm:

Blessed are those who vote to have someone else confiscate 5 dollars and dole out one of those dollars to the poor, for their sacrifice of pulling a lever in a booth is truly compassion.

What is "Republican"?  What is "Democrat"?  It sort of sounds like the vague sort of stuff you might hear Rush Limbaugh saying.  Both the Republicans and the Democrats have done some pretty dumb stuff.

 

But I think in general the Republicans are more for trying to run the world and foreign wars -- especially in the Middle East. The Democrats are more for socialism and government control and big outrageously expensive  endless bureaucracy.  I voted for Ron Paul.  But he really didn't have a chance against Romney -- whom I think people thought would make them rich.  They need to move to Utah and see what Mormonism is really like.

Jesus can't be affiliated with any political party, since keeping your promises is an automatic DQ in the world of politics.

I know you dont. I just dont understand why you dont understand.

I found out yesterday that light might travel slower than previously thought...maybe that has something to do with it.

So none of the pre-borns growing inside defenseless Iraqi women count then, when they saw fit to destroy the entire Middle East?

p.s. if any members of the audience would care to explain how referencing a woman's appearance in the course of a debate is "funny" I would appreciate the s'plaining. Apparently I missed that lesson. was out burning my brassiere that day.
