Well, your an uninformed democrat then...

 

 

how so?

The bible also addresses an “eye for an eye” and “redeemer of blood”, so as with many parts of scripture it is all in how it is interpreted.

 

The argument you describe is a valid argument and if reversed for the democrats makes even less sense. How can killing unborn children and not killing convicted murders be logical?

 

But in America, we have freedom of religion. So while that is in the Christian Bible, it's not described in all religious texts. Sure the majority of Americans are Christian, but we are not all Christian, so laws should not be made solely on a Christian belief system.

I think you exeggerate on our difficulties. The war is winding down and while the economy is facing difficulties, it is not in shambles. AIDS is 99% avoidable.

Those who are on death row are there as prescribed by law, if I was 100% sure they would never get parole, I'm all for it. Abortion is an innocent put to death for no reason than it will be a bother to someone.

 

I will retract "do not like" and say they are not wanted in the Democractic Party.

 

So why is Detroit pretty much a Ghost Town now?

Wow. BGP's worst thread ever? Some of these posts are embarrassing!

 

Because they do not reflect your views?

Because for decades they have had incompetent administrations.

I did not say that laws should be made solely based on religious beliefs. I said that the bible can be interpreted both for and against capital punishment.

 

Religion aside, the point being that the Democratic stance against capital punishment and for abortion is more contradictory then the Republican stance for capital punishment and against abortion.

IMO, Specter, knows he is now done as a Republican. No way he wins his primary after voting for the spending bill. His only choice was to change parties if he wants to have a chance at getting re-elected.

Well for me then, I don't think you should be able to have it both ways, either every life is sacred and abortion should be illegal and the death penalty should be abolished or abortion is legal and the death penalty is in place.

:lol::lol:

 

Once something is immoral, how can you argue that one is more immoral than the other? The ending of life is inherently immoral, but one way of doing it is more so than the other?

 

Know that I am not advocating a moral look at politics, just pointing out the contradiction.

I don't know that the Democrats have a stance against capital punishement. Many, many of their candidates are ok with it, including the leader of their party.

how so?

 

Just jokin with ya.

The switch is nothing more than Specter watching out for Specter, PERIOD. He did the math in is district and did what he had to do to get re-elected. Biden & Obama will help him get elected and expect a few votes (health care) in return. They don't mind if he casts a few against their agenda as long as he comes through on some of their biggies.

 

Didn't Obama say in the silly press conference that he'd win in 2010? He told the people of Penn. who their democratic nominee better be as I see it. Talk about arrogance.:puke:

No. Even the ones that do reflect my views are embarrassing, for the most part. Do you even know what my views are?
