''Kinder, Gentler'' Democrats?

[Sid]

Both North Korea’s Kim Jong Il and Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have figured out that U.S. voters are on the brink of committing mass suicide next month. They are betting that Americans will be foolish enough to elect Nancy Pelosi and other leftists who
will promote a “kinder, gentler” strategy for fighting the war on terror, and who will surrender any and all semblance of national pride and American hegemony.

Just the possibility of a Democratic majority in either or both chambers of Congress have made it next to impossible for the Bush administration to make any progress in preventing the insane leaders of North Korea and Iran from becoming nuclear menaces. Both nations know that Democrats will be much easier to deal with.

They also know that “America First” will be replaced by “Blame America!” if Democrats do gain control.

Those thinking of sitting out the election or voting Democratic just to send the Republicans a message should remember that this is exactly what America’s enemies want you to do!

Agree.

I won't to send the Republicans a message. But more by replacing incumbents with newer Rep. that will do a better job.

That hope sure is not within the Dem. Party.

Just look at the world circling the drain:



North Korea sets off a nuclear weapon.
Chavez and Imanutjob demonstrate the stupidity they are ateup with at the UN.
China and Cuba getting really chummy
Illegal Immigration has become the third rail of American politics.
Mexico is a third world country on our southern border marinating in corruption and showing all the signs of revolution.
Iran wants billing in stupidity of Biblical proportions.
Israel building bomb shelters for the big one.
Looking at the positive news that just get ignored:
Iraq demonstrating what nutjobs we are fighting.
The Stock Market hitting new highs.
Unemployment rates at historic lows.
What do we see the Democrats and their media delegation focus on?



Foleygate and what dastardly villians the Republicans are.
The Dixie Chicks are being unfairly victimized by knuckle-dragging, redneck, Bubba SixPack Militia types
Michael J. Fox fogging the dialogue on stem cell research.
The Democrats declaring victory before the real polls open.Does anyone else see the disconnect?

[CoreIssue]

I see the disconnect. For sure.

My problem is I see the Rep. disconnecting, as well, more and more.

Yep. The End Times are in full swing and the Rapture surely must be close.

The Economy.


There’s no doubt that Democrats will raise taxes – they’ve pledged to do so and no veto threat could stop them, since all they need to do is to sit tight and to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire. It’s not certain that GOP control will bring further tax reductions, or even protect all of those enacted in the last six years, but it is certain that Democrats will move in the tax-hike direction.

Combined with Nancy Pelosi’s promise to raise the minimum wage by two-dollars and hour within the first four days (one hundred hours) of taking the Speaker’s gavel, and of sharply increasing spending for federally subsidized college loans, Medicaid and other social programs, the Democratic tax increases could easily provide the economic jolt to bring the current boom to an abrupt halt.

The Dems proudly announce they want more governmental “supervision” of the economy – concerning energy, environmental regulations, labor rules, “gender equity,” family leave, and so forth. Conservatives understand that this sort of growth in federal power hardly constitutes a reliable formula for prosperity.

And why, exactly, would anyone on the right support the huge boosts in federal college spending that would provide a vast transfer of wealth from ordinary, middle-American taxpayers to universities that represent islands of unreconstructed leftism within the body politic?



Eight reasons conservatives must vote on November 7th (http://www.townhall.com/columnists/column.aspx?UrlTitle=eight_reasons_conservatives_m ust_vote_on_november_7th&ns=MichaelMedved&dt=10/25/2006&page=full&comments=true)

[CoreIssue]

What economic boom! :grr: I am fed up with hearing that garbage.

Home values have fallen 10%, it is a buyers' market, wages are being cut, benefits are being cut, pensions and such are being cut, jobs are being lost, wages are a joke and much more.

Do the Rep. have a clue, including Hannity, O'Reilly, Cavudo, and others, that every time they open their yaps about how great the economy is doing and they don't understand why it upsets so many people that a lot of hurt and hurting people out here see them as rich elitists?

Reality is there there the Rich Man Wall Street economy and the Joe Blue Collar economy. Joe's economy is going in the toilet. Joe doesn't know if there is going to be any retirement money, SSI or other, when he gets that age. Joe is hoping to either keep his job, without loosing too much, or find a job that pays a lot more than minimum wage.

Minimum wage is a joke.

Seen as the party of Moveon.org, Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi, Democrats move to the right out of sheer desperation to get a chance of getting elected:



In their push to win back control of the House, Democrats have turned to conservative and moderate candidates who fit the profiles of their districts more closely than the profile of the national party.

While Democratic leaders have gone to great lengths to promote the views of these candidates, some, like Mr. Shuler, have views on issues like gun control and abortion that are far out of step with the prevailing views of the Democrats who control the party. On some issues, they may even be expected to side with Republicans and the Bush White House.

Democratic officials said they did not set out with the intention of finding moderates to run. Instead, as they searched for candidates with the greatest possibility of winning against Republicans, they said, they wound up with a number who reflected more moderate views.

“The Democrats as a whole have begun to understand and recognize, as I did, that we have the extreme left and the extreme right, and 80 percent of America is in the middle,” Mr. Shuler said on a campaign stop last week at the Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College. “People need to start working together.”



In Key House Races, Democrats Run to the Right (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/30/us/politics/30dems.html?ref=politics)

[Sid]

One big reason for the new energy we're seeing among Republicans is the realization of what the congressional leadership will look like if Democrats win back the House. It seems clear that Americans have glimpsed a future with the San Francisco values of Nancy Pelosi third in line for the presidency, and they don't like what they see.
And who could blame them?



The following is just a sampling of Nancy Pelosi's voting record on issues that are critical to mainstream Americans. Pelosi voted:
NO on the Border Security Bill
NO on making the Republican tax cuts permanent
NO on eliminating the marriage penalty
NO on eliminating the death tax
NO on creating Health Savings Accounts
NO on the Defense of Marriage Act
NO on the 1996 Welfare Reform Law (and NO on its reauthorization)
NO on protecting the Pledge of Allegiance
NO on banning partial-birth abortion
NO on requiring a photo I.D. to ensure only legal voters vote
NO on the Patriot Act
NO on authorizing domestic tracking of terrorists
NO on military tribunals and new interrogation rules for terrorist detainees Your friend,

Americans Have Seen the Democratic Future: It Doesn't Work (http://www.humanevents.com/winningthefuture.php?id=17722)

[Sid]

The Republican Party of today is closer to the Democratic Party of 1960 than the Democratic Party of today is. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has become pacifist on foreign policy, a vocal advocate of gay marriage and abortion on demand, an anti-religious haven, a consistent champion of higher taxes. It allies with blame-America-first radicals like Michael Moore.

It worries more about terrorists' rights to unmonitored phone calls than Americans' rights not to be murdered. It talks about our soldiers in terms that would make John F. Kennedy cringe -- just this week, 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry implied that our soldiers in Iraq were a bunch of mindless morons and college dropouts. It expels Democrats like Joe Lieberman, who supported the deposing of mass murderer and terrorist supporter Saddam Hussein.

The political center is now the Republican Party. The Republican Party under George W. Bush has lowered taxes and brought the war to our enemies. It has sought to enshrine marriage between a man and a woman as the basis for our morality. It has banned the horrific partial-birth abortion procedure.




Why the Republican Party Should Continue Its Winning Streak (http://www.theconservativevoice.com/articles/article.html?id=19850)

[Sid]

Is there anyone who believes government doesn't have enough of our money? Then vote for Democrats.
Is there anyone who thinks withdrawing from Iraq before the country can stand on its own against terrorism means there won't be more terrorism? Then vote for Democrats.
Do you prefer liberal judges reading their prejudices into the Constitution and increasingly depriving us of our right to decide our own future? Then vote for Democrats.

The 2006 Choice (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/11/the_2006_choice.html)

[wvpeach1963]

This may be the last election I ever vote in. I've never missed a election in my adult life.
But its becoming clear to me that christians are never represented in politics.
Maybe even that we have no place in them.
My studies lately are making it clear that God has set up our own goverment much like he set up the pharoahs to enslave the Hebrew slaves for 400 years.

God tells us in the bible that pharaoh was placed in his position so that at the right time and place the whole world would know God's glory.

We're very similiar to those hebrew slaves after all. They were allowed to have a semblence of a life as long as they worked dawn to dusk to feed thier goverment ( pharoah)

We find our selves in much the same situation , born to be slaves to tax's and a system out of control. I am sure God will end the goverment of this country much as he did the goverment of Pharoah.

But Sid I have to completely disagree with your stance on who we should vote for this election.

I will be voting mostly a Democratic ticket, in hopes that enough people do that to send the president a message that we cannot condone the death of innocent people in the name of a false sense of security for our own nation.

Perhaps another view of God's Politics would be helpful to some.
FYI I really don't believe God has a political stance , but thats the only way to phrase it I guess. Anyway I am following the red letter christians and hoping that maybe they come up with a better choice then we've been given for the 08 elections. I doubt it though , as the bible tells us no goverment of men will ever do anything but be as a yoke upon the neck of the people.

I do like the message behind this christian group trying to get this nation on a more biblical track.

As long as the Democrats marinate in a pre-9/11 worldview . .

. . . advocate amnesty

. . . will make sure that the Secure Border Fence will never be built

. . . cut 'n run in Iraq

. . . provide for abortion on demand

. . . are seen as advocating gay marriage.

The party of John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid should be seen as the wrong choice for America.

The attitude that has allowed America to fall into the mess it has become over the last 100 or so years.
My studies lately are making it clear that God has set up our own goverment much like he set up the pharoahs to enslave the Hebrew slaves for 400 years.
Might be. And done to punish, not reward them.
God tells us in the bible that pharaoh was placed in his position so that at the right time and place the whole world would know God's glory.
Yep. And also used as a stereotype of the anti-God world.
We're very similiar to those hebrew slaves after all. They were allowed to have a semblence of a life as long as they worked dawn to dusk to feed thier goverment ( pharoah)
That is nonsense.

The Jews were forcibly enslaved. American Christians have silently allowed our nation to collapse around us through lack of Biblical foundations and trying to change the country.

Passivity is not a Biblical way. But the American churches have gone past that into liberalism.
We find our selves in much the same situation , born to be slaves to tax's and a system out of control. I am sure God will end the goverment of this country much as he did the goverment of Pharoah.
And who put us under that tax and such system?

Democrates an the American people allowing them to flourish.

The foundation of our destruction came from over 40 years of Democratic control. I have watched our freedoms and values erode under liberal judges and legislators.
I will be voting mostly a Democratic ticket, in hopes that enough people do that to send the president a message that we cannot condone the death of innocent people in the name of a false sense of security for our own nation.
You have bitten into the liberal garbage completely.

What innocent people are dying because of us?

The nut cases in Iraq are killing their own. Saddam killed hundreds of thousands of his own.

No, we have been there too long. Yes, it was right to take Saddam out.

But no, Islamics are not going to be respecters of life, freedom or anything else as long as Islamic.

But for sure, if Afghanistan and Iraq had not been invaded, 9/11 would have been just one in a long chain of attacks.

You obiviously do not understand Islam.
Perhaps another view of God's Politics would be helpful to some.
The Dems have no view of God except he does not exist or is not wanted.
FYI I really don't believe God has a political stance ,
Think again. He does.
but thats the only way to phrase it I guess. Anyway I am following the red letter christians and hoping that maybe they come up with a better choice then we've been given for the 08 elections. I doubt it though , as the bible tells us no goverment of men will ever do anything but be as a yoke upon the neck of the people.

Where does it say that?

And the Red Letter group is a liberal group. They call themselves the religious left.

What does a Bible believing Christian have in common with the RCC or liberal mainstream churches? Nothing.

The Bible is not interpreted by society or culture. Society and culture are interpreted by the Bible.

Homosexuality, abortion, and so on are sin. Period. Not conditioned upon how a group 'feels' about the issues.

Yes, environment, health and such are Christian concerns. No, they are not the sole focus of Christians.

War is not desirable. But that does not make it unbibilical or something to avoid when needed.

And so on.

We can find liberal Christianity defined in the Bible. Falls under the terms of itching ears, 7th church of Revelation, and so on.

Christians are suppose to stand for ALL Biblical values. Turing to the Dems, who despise those values, is not the way to go.

I want either the Republican Party to wake up, or, a Third Party to rise. But in either scenario, the Dems are so far down the drain there is no hope in them.

Barny Frank and Ted Kennedy are poster children for the Dems, among others. Disgusting.
