Why are you/did you vote for Obama
| Mon, 11-03-2008 - 12:26pm |
Can someone nicely tell me the reasons you support Obama?
I just can't figure it out...it SEEMS alot of people support him b/c he's the "popular" choice or because he's black. What is he going to do that benefits you?
Thanks in advance

The major ones are:
1) He supports the continued fight against al-Queda in Afghanistan but opposed and would like to extricate us from the Iraq fiasco.
And for me, I think life is far more than from the moment of conception to the moment of live birth.
So do I...I'm not saying other stages of life are any less important than the unborn child's is.
But an insurance
I know, that's why I said to 'me' means - that's not speaking for anyone else. And of course the op is free to take offense at what she will as that's her choice.
Okay, but in your first post, you told the op that the death penalty and casualties of war have nothing to do with abortion.
I've no doubt that the majority are guilty on the other hand I would certainly hope that it is proven with hard, irrefutable evidence & without doubt that they are guilty before being put on death row.
As someone who has extensively studied the death penalty in this country, I bet people like you who have "no doubt" of the guilt of death row inmates would be SHOCKED to learn the truth. And you can "hope" all you like that their guilt would be "proven with hard, irrefutable evidence," but that just does not happen in a lot of cases. So I guess if saying things like "the majority are guilty" helps you to support this process, then so be it. I can't justify the state-sponsored killing of innocent people.
I believe the Lord in scripture when he says 'an eye for an eye' - you take someone's life (except in self-defense) & you pay for it with your own.
Do you extend that concept to perpetrators of other crimes? Should we start to rape rapists as well? And if you do, please tell me who should be responsible for raping a person convicted of rape. Could you do it? Could you "pull the switch" on a death row inmate?
"Yes, civilians are innocent in a sense but my point is they were given a chance to start & live their lives unlike babies aborted."
I never said I was pro-war.
