A question I have to ask: has ANY Republican president stopped abortion?

I’m not for abortion or same-sex marriage but I also am not for oppressing the poor and I can not support a non-Christian as leader of our country. So I’ll probably be voting for Obama. I will then be praying that America does not turn her back on Israel.🙂

How sure are you that Obama is a Christian? Because he says he is? He was a member of the Church of Christ in Chicago but said he never heard Rev Wright’s inflammatory sermons. Was he lying or was he simply never there? He now goes to another denomination, but rarely do he and his family actually go. Is he anything? I am not saying I know, but neither do you.

While we’re on that subject, do you also mean no Jew should ever be president of the U.S?

I remember “cash for clunkers”, which was a gift to people wealthy enough to buy new cars. They destroyed the “clunkers” on which the poor depend for transportation. No cruelty in that?

Obama is adding 17 million more people to the Medicaid rolls. It’s already hard for the poor who rely on Medicaid to get treatment because the reimbursement is so poor that providers limit those patients. No cruelty in that?

The chief actuary for Medicare says that in a few years, due to Obama’s looting of Medicare to support Obamacare, Medicare reimbursement will be less than that for Medicaid. A lot of Medicare patients (including those on SS Disability) are poor. No cruelty in that?

Obama has changed the reimbursement rules for Medicaid to increase it for “well care” at the expense of “chronic care”. People on Medicaid with chronic health conditions are the poorest people on Medicaid. No cruelty in that?

And if you hope America does not turn her back on Israel, you had better not vote for Obama. You do know, don’t you, that he aided the Muslim Brotherhood gain power in Egypt and that Morsi has said he will not abide by the terms of their peace treaty unless Israel goes back to its 1967 borders? And will he even do it then? Have you listened to any of Morsi’s inflammatory anti-Israel statements?

No, but Bush certainly curtailed funding for it, and his two appointments to the Supreme Court voted, along with three other Republican appointees at least upheld the ban on partial birth abortion. Obama, of course, not only supports partial birth abortion, but twice voted not to save infants born alive as the result of a botched abortion. Takes a very cold man to do that. Even NARAL wouldn’t go that far, and didn’t.

The original poster stated they were voting fora third party candidate,whom they felt reflected a true conservative platform.That vote,would in fact take away from Romney,since he is the Republican frontrunner.Conversly,if someone who felt Obama wasn’t leftist enough,which by the way is a near impossibility,and voted in a third party who was more
Iiberal,that vote would be taken from Obama.😉

Why do "true conservative " and “leftist enough” have to be only options?
 
I will be voting for President Obama. In my view, President Obama’s policy on social justice and the poor just simply resonate. He’s worked in the trenches with the poor and vulnerable while in Chicago which decisively speaks in his favor. You can’t take experience away. He seems to be balanced in the manner he governs. I recently spoke to two religious sisters that I know and they confided in me that President Obama offers the greatest hope for the poor than they have seen in a president in a many years. He’s been a good president in light of what he inherited, not to mention a congress that won’t work with him on anything. Strictly speaking, the economy is slowly starting to improve, and the stock market has nearly doubled compared to when he took over. The President’s foreign policy has been fairly effective too. With that said, I do wish he would move the date up on brining all of our military troops home. It’s fair to say that when he was elected he inherited a nightmare. So for this Catholic, it’s Obama and Biden 2012!

He holds the greatest hope for the poor…whose numbers he increased?? A failing economy and growing debt hurt the poor tremendously.

I understand what you are saying. Truth be told a lot of people are frustrated with the status quo. We are held hostage to a certain degree by the two major parties:shrug:
 
I plan on helping defeat communism with a thrown away write in vote for Ron Paul.
If I don’t do that, I’m thinking about doing my part by helping punish m Republican party with a vote for Obama, since they all black listed Dr. Paul. The only Statesmen left in this country.

Code: 
 Most of those " poor people" put themselves there, they are called free riders.
It doesn’t take a lot to succeed in this country if you’ve got the work ethic, and a drug free family. there are 24 hours in a day, that leaves 18 to work and 6 to sleep.
The presidents forien policy is awful, weakening this Country’s defenses with disarming much of out nuclear capabilities, and bending over for the UN civilian gun treaty ban that is next on his hit list. In my opinion he’s a Marxist.

This is crux of the issue.Obama and his policies are so antithetical to what America is about ,it is critical that every vote count.To vote for anyone other than Romney,will ensure Obama another four years.:eek:

I myself am still undecided on who to vote for this upcoming election. It be great if you fellow forumers could share your thoughts.

And please, if on purpose, try not to add any lies or false statements on your replies.
I just want the hard truth on why you support your guy.
Thanks a lot!

I like them both and dislike them both. But, I will vote for Romney due to the life issues, supreme court appointees and some semblence of vision and direction especially as it relates to fiscal responsibility.

I think, based on reading several related threads that most people (Catholics) decidedly lean one way or the other, so you are the ‘jump ball’ they are scrambling for, so long as you live in a state that is ‘in play’. Pray, discern.

Romney, because I am absolutely opposed to everything President Obama stands for.

I agree. I also meant if I didn’t, to mention in my post of reasons how he has been met with resitance by the Congress on every turn especially the past 2 yrs and was going to mention the stock market. God bless. Peace.

You can ask that of just about anyone.

IMO, Mormonism and Scientology to not equal Christianity. So I find it really strange that evangelicals are so quick to “hold their nose”, look the other way and back Romney.

It’s a dealbreaker for me. Although I am an Obama supporter, if I were not - I still could not support Romney because of his religion. America needs a President, not a prophet.
