> Many of my friends process their identity through their

> I can ' t vote black because I am black; I have to vote
> Christian because that ' s who I am Christian first,
> black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic

> ' t be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if

> In an election there are many issues to consider but when a

> We need to follow Martin Luther King ' s words, don

> There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth

> A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby

> B. The baby ' s leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
>
> C. The abortionist delivers the baby ' s entire body,
> except for the head.
> D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby ' s
> skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.
> E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is
> inserted. The child ' s brains are sucked out, causing
> the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.

> God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental

> Think about this: You can ' t give a kid an aspirin

I am going to be the first and say this is hogwash..

yes it may be true he wrote this, but I see it as one mans opinon that is all. i think most Americans do not believe those accusations against Obama, I would have to view the voting in the senate Brown claimed occurred. like I said I think it is one mans opinion.. funny that eight( yearsRep Prez )has not changed the things occurring in this country 12 years(more) of Republicans ruling house/senate has not stopped abortion,same sex marriages..etc..

I would have to see the articles of Obama voting this, sorry, again I say Hogwash..

well since most ur stuff is hogwash u should know, and ofcourse its one mans opinion,,but obama believe in this way, and he listened to rev wright for 20 years till it became a politcal liability then he dumped him, does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

I agree rosco, I also think the people that claim to be Christian and if they are true to their belief should consider those things, its clear he goes against the Christian traditions and beliefs, for example the celebration of Jesus Christ "Christmas", how anyone who claims to be Christian can vote for him I'd like to know how they can justify it. Personally it doesn't matter to me, but I admittedly do find it disturbing and would prefer the president celebrated Christmas, it seems like a nice thing to do if you know what I mean, but whoever can get the job done would get my vote. But Obama may celebrate it now I don't know, but its known he didn't use to. That's just a small issue but worth mentioning for all the Christians I would think.

What about you Gypsy does it bother you he doesn't like Christmas and will it influence your vote?

Well Tyler where does it say truthfully he doesn't celebrate Christmas? so many of those tapes that Rosco put are doctored, I noticed it wasn't backed with truth facts?? or snops
I also have heard Obama speak of his belief in Jesus, so that in my mind tells me he celebrates the birth of Jesus~
the Republicans are pulling out all the dirty tactics,like they haven't done enough dirt smearing ..

yes i am the only one here on this board who supports Obama~ and i think most of America believe in him even republicans have denounced McCain, I will say this whoever wins i pray for them and hope they turn this country around to the best again~
Obama/Biden08

Obama stated in an interview in People magazine that he does not give his kids birthday presents or Christmas presents.

Heres other videos about that issue and Obama speaking about the bible.

Gypsy you keep saying ..most of Americans believe in Obama yet the polls are showing a totally different story, the numbers are getting closer daily so if the trend continues to election day then half of the Americans do not believe in Obama. You can't deny his ties to some very shady radical connections, his 20 years in Rev. Wrights church , then to denounce him when the public eye was casted on him, why didn't he maintain his faith ? Just like his Muslim faith ????? Obama has a few good ideas but if he stays to the Dem. pattern after the election middle class taxes will go up just as Clinton did 26 days after he took office The man has to many skeletons in his closet Rev Manning has disclosed on major news networks many flaws on Obama, Manning hasn't been silenced nor sued so that says he is not lying.

these are all untrue.. on this I went to truth and snop, which said this was untrue.. I posted those findings on here in one of these topics~ I can do it again, but I see no use~ you will believe what you want, just as I will`..

i have not checked and may be wrong but think same sex marriage is a state issue,
abortion has been ruled legal by roe vs wade , thats why the big deal on new supreme court judges, so that roe vs wade is not overturned, now with partial birth abortions, when clinton was in , it was passed to stop it, but clinton vetoed it, as i recall , but he had a reason, he would have not vetoed it if it had a clause the partial birth abortion would go forward incases of the mothers health, but the conservatives in congress, would not put in that clause, because they thought drs would just find a way to make it or word the procedure as to protect the mother, so it was partial birth abortions would stop in all cases, and clinton, vetoed it, and the republicans did nto not have what, i think 2/3 to overturn a veto, now this is pure memory, but i think its true, i do for sure remember clinton saying he would have signed it if it had the health of the mother in the law, but ur saying hogwash, to this mans opinion of what we know what would jesus do, i know u believe the woman has the right to choose, but this man just was saying do u think that is what Jesus thinks is the correct thing, as i know the bible says ," i knew u before u were born" but anyways, its about what he feels is the correct thing acording to scripture, so becareful it sounds like ur saying scripture is hogwash, if u read his letter, but i know most dont believe in the bible or jesus ,, as the son of God, so im not pushing that, i just posted thiis mans opinion acording to how he feel by scripture, i think tyler expressed it well without having to believe , of how it would be if u believed, anyway i think tyler got it right, but i have not read it in a while i will go back and read tylers, but i think it was good,
