As of
today, I will vote for Rick Santorum
“If New York doesn't want sodomy laws, if the people of New York want abortion,
fine. I mean, I wouldn't agree with it, but that's their right. But I don't
agree with the Supreme Court coming in.” ~ Rick Santorum
Thank you for
posting a profile on Rick Santorum Pro Life Profiles.
[Pro Life Profiles: Rick Santorum, Presidential Candidate, Tier 2 - Personhood
Whenever] "...Even though Rick Santorum signed the Personhood Pledge, he still
just doesn't quite understand the concept. He is in favor of Personhood
legislation but he also favors abortion regulations. "Child killing regulations
just prune the abortion weed, and strengthen its root," says Jason Troyer of
Colorado Right to Life. So like pruning your favorite bush to make it grow
strong, if you want to make abortion a permanent part of society, then regulate
the procedure and it will look more reasonable and humane..." Full text:
Pro Life Profiles: Rick Santorum, Presidential Candidate
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "The problem with you so-called "pro lifers" sd, is that you think you can pass a couple of laws and make abortion just go away."
We fought a civil war to make slavery just go away.
"Abortion is a mindset more than anything. Santorum knows that, which is the reason he's constantly talking about contraception."
He's talking
about contraception because Obama keeps fueling the fire in the contraception
controversy. Obama knows that most people agree with him (Ex
23:2) which is why he is pushing the "war on
women" mantra.
Santorum cannot support his position based on scripture. Oopsie.
By all means, let's not nominate
a
biblically illiterate compromiser.
See:
What does the Bible say about family planning? Should Christians use birth
control (birthcontrol)? What about using a condom / condoms, diaphragm ...
"Change our society's heart, and along with Godly laws, abortion can once again
be brought under control."
Would you have
supported measures to keep slavery under control? Would you supported
gassing Jews in a controlled manner?
"With abortion running rampant in the black community, fatherless homes, out of wedlock births and a large percent of black males in prison, I have to say this: "Define slavery"."
When you get to
heaven why don't you talk to all of those dead guys on the field during the
Civil War. Do you believe that America is something special?
'Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a
new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great
battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a
final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might
live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can
not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here,
have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will
little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what
they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It
is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us --
that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which
they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall
have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people,
for the people, shall not perish from the earth.'

"The left has hated him since he was a Senator in PA for talking about homosexuality. You're a tool of the left, carrying a Bible."
I'm a
Christian, responsible for my vote. You don't like that I won't vote for Santorum.
[Would you have supported measures to keep slavery under control? Would you supported gassing Jews in a controlled manner?] "Not the same issue. There have always been murders and there always will be as long as men sin. Passing laws and changing hearts will control abortion, but as long as our society pushes sexual promiscuity (which Santorum addresses frequently), you're foolish to think that a law passed in one or two states will make a difference."
You need a
better strategy.
See:
Focus on the Strategy by Bob Enyart
How many often is the word "compromise" used in the Bible? Queue
jeopardy theme (right click, open).
"Ok, and you tell the hundreds of millions of dead unborn babies (in the US alone by the time you get to Heaven) why you didn't do something to fight the entire culture of death, but just one aspect of it."
I agree with
you. Ours is a culture of death (Pr 8:36). We are salt and light (Mt
5:13-16). Although we cannot stop the decay and final destruction (Ps.
119:11), we can get the word out (Isa 55:11, Jer. 23:28)
in the hopes of God saving a few more souls (1 Pet. 1:23).
"Unless Jesus Himself returns to run for political office, you won't be voting for anyone. Trust me, I know your kind."
That's not
true. I'm waiting for a decent candidate. I won't vote for a "lesser of evils".
I won't vote for evil
period.
"A single issue platform is not a "strategy"."
First, we need
to stop killing our own children. Then, we can talk about
jobs and the economy.
We have a heart problem in this country (Ec
9:3).
"I'll take a good man with a few flaws over someone who isn't electable."
A few flaws? You're going to stand before the creator of your soul and say, "I voted for Rick Santorum because he only wanted to kill some babies."
As
of today, I will vote for Rick Santorum
