One can debate the Saddleback Church Forum from now till after the election ends but Senator Obama's earlier statement “I don't want my girls to have to live with a mistake,” and during the forum he said “this is above my pay grade,” when asked when does one consider life begins; yet Senator Obama would have us all believe he is Christian. It is clear Senator Obama is saying only what he thinks we want to hear him say rather than to be truthful. This leads me to wonder how many other answers he's given or still intends to give that are not truthful.
Instead of yes or no answers to questions that required a yes or no Senator Obama again continuously gave round about answers with no clear yes or no but in reality left unanswered on several issues he was asked about. It leads one to wonder what Senator Obama is actually hiding with all of that smooth double talk.
As for the Welfare Reform I would personally like to see the government do an investigation of how many of those single mothers's moved from the Welfare Rolls to the Foster Care Payment Plans. Did we just move the non faith based single mothers from one welfare plan to another and give it a new name figuring no one would ever know? Some of us are not stupid.
With an upswing on abortions, as there certainly would be once it is legalized under Senator Obama, who stated “discarded embryos should be used for research” one can and will argue the point that this includes all aborted children as well. Committing legal murder on a helpless muted victim can be a profitable business for one with no soul I suppose. But Senator Obama's comment “it's above my pay grade,” answering the question regarding when a life begins will not save his soul from damnation for the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocents should Senator Obama pass that bill.
Senator Obama also claiming to be a Christian will do nothing to stop same sex marriages, in fact neither will Senator McCain for that matter, unless it comes to his personal state. How noble of you Senator McCain! Don't you think as a Christian that the rest of us Christian's might want the same consideration? And I'll throw in a real blast from the past for you all, God created man from the dirt he created previously and breathed life into man and man became a living soul. God deemed it was not good for man to be alone and created woman, but hey girls guess what? Woman was created out of a part of a man and it wasn't just any old part, it was a man's rib, meaning women were to be by a man's side not apart or separate of or from. God made both male and female then told them to go and multiply, hence the first husband and wife.
What good is it to listen to what others have to say and respect others points of views if you are unwilling to make compromises regarding such issues? Any good listener can listen but do you hear what they are saying? Do you understand what they are telling you? Any person can make up rules but it takes someone special to make acceptable compromises that all can live with even if they don't totally agree with them. There is no compromise in this champagne on either side and therefore there are no changes from either candidate; one is pro and one is con but no compromises anywhere which would truly have meant “a change we can believe in” as it is right now it's just the same old election just a different session.
Senator Obama a good Christian knows that we must always strive to defeat evil. Your passiveness is incomprehensible to true Christians. I don't know what Bible you are or have been studying from but the original Holy Bible of the Living God of Jesus Christ tells us that we are to confront and defeat all evil. A true Christian also knows this is not necessarily done physically as in wars and killings either. It is done through banding together in faith, love, prayer and song until God takes action. Only through God and Jesus Christ can evil be defeated.
The icing on the cake was in hearing Senator Obama say”the devil's in the details” when asked about Federal Funding usage for Faith Based organizations. The devil is no where unless we call him to be there all true Christian's know this. That is precisely the reason Faith Based organizations don't want to let unbelievers working with them on projects. Yet it is a fact that Faith Based organizations do a much better job of handling certain things that funds are available for but tied up by people like you refusing to allow them to do the work they are supposed to be doing without worldly strings attached.
As for paying teachers more money, I and others like me believes that it won't matter how much you pay a teacher as long as the children are allowed to be disrespectful, arrogant, combative instead of competitive, disruptive instead of contributive and the schools are allowed to teach against parental faith based teachings nothing will get any better. So for a Presidential Candidate Senator Obama who is supposedly listening, you certainly are neither hearing nor understanding what is being said by the people.
Senator McCain had little in the way of surprises and his answers were just about what we had expected from him. He was much more decisive than Senator Obama was and answered every yes and no question with a yes or a no and added a very heart wrenching story to go with most of them.
I have only one other complaint about Senator McCain aside from his views on same sex marriage and that is I hope he can be a little more diplomatic when dealing with less arrogant countries than Russia so we don't look like the same kind of bullies as Russia is seeming to be. Other than that Senator McCain seems to be the real McCoy as far as his Christianity is concerned.
Senator Obama, I don't like people that never actually answer a question because they are like snakes slithering around until they find a dark crack to slither through and ultimately out. Don't think that by never truly answering a question you can't be held accountable, old time Chicago gangsters once thought like that and many of them died in prison, because all things done in the darkness comes out in the light. If you don't like someone supposedly misrepresenting what your position is then perhaps it was because you didn't make your position clear enough and answered with one of your non committal answers, in which case a non commitment is no stand at all and your indignation is completely unjustified. And non commitment is not what America needs or is looking for.
