My election plea (Page 3)

To be honest, it's my opinion that by definition, a politician is a liar.  I think they ALL lie at some point.

Bigfuzzydoug for president 2020.

I was busy praying for you.

I wish everyone would vote like my wife and I do.

but let me clarify. We vote by asking ourselves a series of questions about each candidate, initiative, referendum etc that comes up.

-Will voting either way for this hurt someone in some way we can comprehend?
-Does it follow the golden rule? (IE Do unto others as you would have other do unto you.) [to give an example. I am not gay but in Washington, gay marriage is up for a vote - I would not want someone to deprive me of the right to marry my wife, so even though it does not effect me directly whether same sex couples can marry, I voted to allow it because I believe they should have the same right I do]
-How does this match our fiscal beliefs (both personally and at the government level)?

Now the answers to these will vary per person and based on what everyones beliefs are, and that is ok, but asking yourself these, or similar questions, at least allows an individual to focus on their owns beliefs, how those beliefs affect others, and, hopefully, what the facts in each vote caste are.

BFD I do get where you are coming from and appreciate the sentiment but I also think the phrasing was a little off from your intent (as I see it)

Happy end to political adds day!

mr2tony - Wow you were gone for a REALLY long time!

Wore out a couple rosaries.

Why didn't you just state that? Why tee it up with comments about religion and morality and beliefs? Why does the motivation behind restricting other's rights even matter?

Plus a lot of candles.

You're totally worth it.

We do not live in a DEMOCRACY... we live in a REPUBLIC. Individual rights trumps mob rule as granted by the Constitution. You are complaining about a system we do not live in.

It's so easy to whine about those on the other side of the fence... one side votes based on their moral beliefs... the other side votes based on theirs. Your rant is nothing more than you stating your moral convictions and how you use them. What they are based on is irrelevant to the discussion.

If that vote violates my right, I get to have it overturned. Happens on a regular basis. Vote how ever you like, if it is upheld by the courts, then so be it.

This election plea makes no sense whatsoever

Actually we are a representative democracy.  Where we elect people to trample the rights of the people who elected them.

Not at all, the money you get to keep is the Governments too, they only allow you to use it to pay taxes on other stuff.

The tone of your posts sounds like your are surprised or shocked that Biden lied. I'm curious as to why if that is the case?

This is a family issue.

At the Al Smith dinner, Cardinal Dolan said something like, "If you want to see what a big tent looks like
just look to the Catholic Church. She has both Biden and Ryan as members."

There are something like sixty lawsuits by Catholic institutions against the federal government because of the HHS mandate issue
working their way through the courts.
Biden must have known that and simply lied about it when Ryan pointed it out.

Biden claims to be Catholic, but neither assents to the teachings of the Church
nor is he defending the Church when she's being attacked. In fact, he's part of the
administration that's been attacking her. 

I believe him when he says that his faith is important to him,
so win or lose today he needs to wake up. 

I think I muttered something like that LMF when he responded to Ryan on that point. I wasn't surprised or shocked, with all the lies, half truths and things that Obama and the Democrats have purposely misled the American People about to try and get a second term. It sounds like you aren't as cynical as I've become.
