"Political debates"


John,
       With all the heated political debates going on between Doves, may I suggest that everyone read the official party platforms behind the candidates to learn what direction the next president will take the country (rather than trying to defend someone whom you have not a clue about their morals other than what TV ads are saying).
       I, personally have decided to take a moral stand for this election.  I simply cannot vote for any candidate whose platform  (and incidentally whose senatorial voting record) praises, promotes and promises that abortion on demand will always be "right" of all women.  The abortion issue to me has become a final defining issue (not service in Vietnam or the war on terror).  I think it should also for all moral people.  God, over and over, specifically forbids the spilling of "innocent blood" ( and whose blood could be more innocent than that of unborn babies in the womb) and yet this country has allowed and even applauded abortion rights resulting in well over 40 million unborn children having been murdered in the womb  since the seventies.  This is a real life and death issue folks, and it is one that I believe God is waiting to see what choices we as a nation will make concerning His little ones!!!!
     There is also another moral issue that will be found in the platforms of the candidates, and that is concerning the gay agenda to force states to perform and legally recognize gay "marriages".  Whose platform praises and recommends gay marriage?  Whose platform does the opposite?
       These and other volatile moral issues (whether we like them or not) will be defining who we are as a people and country over the next many years, and Godly people need to wake up and how Satan is blinding people with party loyalties and creating deceptions everywhere we look.  W e must be discerning above and beyond political party lines - regardless of what our political affiliations have historically been.  Would God approve of us voting for pro-abortion, pro-gay candidates just for the sake of ousting an incumbent in office?  Does that kind of knee-jerk voting reflect a lack of moral centeredness and direction?
       Ask yourselves those questions, and then get on you knees and pray that this country and this election will be directed by Almighty God and then forget all the bickering and get back to conversations and daily actions that glorify our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ and not amoral politicians. Please!!!!!  Please!!!!
