Stem Cell Research? Where do you stand?
| Thu, 09-11-2008 - 11:36am |
Do you favor it because of all the potential good that can come from it?
Are you against it because of the use of human embryos?
Would you favor in the cases where embryonic stem cells are not used?
Let's talk some issues.

"I am not for hunting...but I wouldn't try to tell hunters that they can't kill an animal....simply because it bothers me personally. Nor would I say you can't hunt because I think it is against God. It bothers me...so I don't hunt. Abortion bothers me as well....so I choose not to have one. I can't say because it bothers me....that NO ONE can have an abortion. I would not put my will on another person...or my personal/religious beliefs. I am pretty sure no one forces women to have abortions..they choose to....just as people choose to kill an animal."
that was worth saying again. thank you for expressing my opinion.

I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure
This is a bit ot, but I was just wondering about a few of the comments you made.
I favor Palin because she is against gun control (Obama wants to take my guns), she is against universal healthcare (Obama wants to raise taxes to support this), she is for drilling more oil (Obama wants us to pay $12.00/gal).
What facts do you have to support this? I'm not trying to start anything, I'm just curious b/c although I realize that Obama does support some gun control measures, I must have missed tha part where he said he wants to come and take away your guns. Btw, sorry if another poster has already addressed this - I haven't read through all the posts yet.

He's going to take her guns while

A. Follow your own train of thought. "my taxes staying in my pocket" is a quote from your post. It says nothing about the trickle down effect. Obama is going to cut taxes for people earning less than $250,000 a year.
B. I would rather have my money and choose where to spend it, where it goes, than have government decide who gets the tax cuts. If a corporation has to charge more for a product, I will have the choice of using/buying that product. For example, if yachts are cheaper thanks to tax cuts, it won't help me. If a new tv is more expensive I can choose to buy it or not. One of the tax benefits Obama plans to rescind is tax cuts to corporations who outsource their work. I am a world citizen but I don't understand
You haven't yet replied to my post but after reading through all the posts I understand your fear that "Obama will find a way" to take your guns. I want to start by stating that guns are important to my family. My husband is a sniper in the army, served as a gunner in Iraq, enjoys hunting, and has worked as a gunsmith. So believe me when I say he would never vote for someone he believed would take his guns away. That being said, we are both voting for Obama. There is a big difference between banning AK47's and "taking away your guns". There is no reason a citizen needs to own an AK47. There needs to be some form of gun control in this country. I know that you may not like any gun control and fear what it means for you but to be honest, the greater good of the country is more important than that of any one person.

But you didn't print the rest which went on to say -
Obama's campaign said, "Sen. Obama didn't fill out these state Senate questionnaires--a staffer did--and there are several answers that didn't reflect his views then or now. He may have jotted some notes on the front page of the questionnaire, but some answers didn't reflect his views."
He has also said, "As a general principle, I believe that the Constitution confers an individual right to bear arms. But just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain the exercise of that right, in the same way that we have a right to private property but local governments can establish zoning ordinances that determine how you can use it."
