Huge Gains For The Democratic Party?

[Akalyte]

If the democrats take over, democracy will go down the drain and america will be a Commumerica. The democratic party loves communism.

[CatholicAndFanatical]

sorry Just but I dont see democracy going to well right now. I see our Country going down the tubes if we continue the way we are going right now.

I see 1/3 of our soldiers in Iraq being National guard and reseverves. These are the people who are acocuntants, lawyers, factory workers and such. All being sent to Iraq for 2 years then coming back to no job waiting for them..then what? You think Bush and the GOP helps them out with bills and such while they are in Iraq? Nope, in fact the Military just cut costs and are not paying for near as much as they use too, putting more of a burden on the citizen that is giving their life to the Government.

Do I think the Democrats will do a better job? I don't know. I fear they will drop the ball like the Republicans did.

I honestly dont think Abortion will get worse, but rather better. So we shouldnt use that as a reason to go straight republican ticket. The Supreme Court is in place to over turn it..let it take its course.

The Republicans are hurting america. With corruption, war and money to the rich. The middle class is getting desolate and soon it will be just lower and Upper class that exists.

Our jobs are going overseas at a record rate. Who is going to stop it? Not sure the Repubs will because they are the ones that set it in place and offer tax cuts to those that do. Not sure the Dems will either...but someone has too. Towns are being devistated from it.

And they'll get us all killed
And we are not kidding... they will get us all killed

[CatholicAndFanatical]

And Bush isnt?

You think we are actually SAFER now??

Come on, tell me you dont honestly think this..

I'll tell you something that Fox News won't...we are in more danger now than before the War. How long have illegals been coming into this country? How easy has it been? Since the war has it got any better?

You think Osama planned 9/11 in a week? It took years to do that. Just because we havent been attacked on our own soil doesnt mean we are safe. We have done nothing to protect ourselves here at home.

So in essence, Bush can possibly get us all killed if it stays the way it is now. We need a change.

And might I add that the ones that are SUPPOSE to protect us here at Home are in Iraq. We have no one to protect us here if something was to happen.

...It must be very depressing to be a liberal today, CandF
Our President has done everything in his power to work for the pro-life cause, but he is not pro-life enough for you
Our GOP run economy is at full employment of 4.4% and better stock market investment than in the 1990’s – but it’s not good enough

You liberals insist on remaining glum in a great American world, even when it means flying in the face of reality.

EVEN Bill Clinton this weekend:
[quote] ...the US is “in the longest running economic expansion in history”. [/quote]

The modern Democratic Party this weekend:
[quote]House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi's response: "The president has the worst jobs record since the Great Depression..."[/quote]

Huh?
They insist on living in a negative imaginary unreal world


CatholicAndFanatical, do you spend EVERY day being negative and depressed?

Or are you just referring to the civil liberties implications of "communism," in which case I have to ask you about warrantless wiretapping and "sneak and peek."

You can throw labels around all you like but the reality of Bushco's control of America today is, quite frankly, Orwellian.

The people that put the most dollars into the system should be the first ones to get a break.

The people that "put the most" into the system aren't taxed, thanks to Bushco. Wealth isn't taxed anymore, only work is. So Sam Walton doesn't pay anything, but only the drudges who labor in his 21st century mills. How do you think Jesus would feel about that?

What makes you think that abortion "will get better" under Democratic leadership?
All of the Democratic contenders for president have been 100% pro-abortion. They will only nominate 100% ACLU-approved pro-aborts to the Supreme Court. (Check out the voting records of Kerry, Clinton, etc.) They support the spending of more tax dollars to support abortion both in this country and overseas.
Take the time to read the actual records of Democrat politicians on abortion. you are deluding yourself if you think the national Democratic leadership is "pro-life." The very Democratic platform is "pro-choice" and opposes overturning Roe v. Wade.

You say "the Supreme Court is in place to over turn it..let it take its course." Well, my friend, the Supreme Court will never have enought pro-life justices for there to ever be any hope of overturning Roe v. Wade if we elect more pro-abort liberal Dem presidents.

You're living in fantasy-land. I'm seeing too many people turning a blind eye to the reality of the militantly pro-abort policies of Dem politicians, with this naive attitude that nothing could possibly be worse than the Republicans.

Dissatisfaction with the Republicans should not be a reason to turn around and support those who promote the evils of abortion and euthanasia, which should be top priority for any Catholic voter.

Maybe it's time to actually get "fanatical" about your Catholicism, not just your politics.

Bush has done a lot more to limit abortion than any other president in recent memory. If the Supreme Court is supposedly "in place" to overturn Roe, how is it that this has come about? Bush's appointments would have had something to do with it.

Things are not "in place" yet, though. We can't afford to let our guard down and assume everything is fine. There needs to be at least one more Justice appointed to affect the balance of power in SCOTUS to overturn Roe.

In addition to the justice appointments and limiting fetal stem cell research, Bush signed in a ban on partial birth abortion, signed the unborn victims of violence act which gave legal personhood status to the fetus and fertilized egg, limited spending on United Nations so called family planning (our tax dollars for foreign abortions).

The thing is, no, I don't think everything is hunky dory under the Bush administration. I applaud any Democrat that is pro-life and I wish there were more of them. Bush is not completely pro-life, and Jesus is not a registered Republican.

But at the end of the day there are certain things that are non-negotiable when it comes to voting, and we have an obligation to fight them with our vote, as stated in John Paul II's encyclical Evangelium Vitae.

We shouldn't buy into the hype and false idea that these things are just petty, trifling moral issues of little significance in the big picture -- some annoying thing to be set aside because it gets in the way of the "real issues." Millions of lives, and the building block of civilization itself -- the family -- are affected by these non-negotiables. In addition to all this, coming from someone who used to vote Democrat -- as if the records on moral issues of many Democrats weren't dismal enough, I have yet to hear current prominent members of the Democratic party offer any clear plans or solutions to solve our problems.

*sigh*

I thought we all went over all of this in 2004.

I put a greater importance in keeping the Senate, because we are (hopefully) one justice away from a certain pro-life majority and we need all the help we can get. Anyone remember Robert Bork and how he was basically ran out of town after the Democrats regained the Senate in the 1986 mid-term elections? That's how we ended up with Justice Kennedy.

As far a Democrats regaining the house, maybe two years of Speaker Pelosi will be enough for America.

Amen!
And I think we need to remember that WHEN (not "if") the Supreme Court overturnes Roe... the abortion decision goes to our Congress to decide
it will be up to our elected people in the House and Senate ...the lives of millions of pre-born children are up to them
