"Value" Voters

There is a meeting in Washington this weekend of the "religious" right and they will entertain the GOP candidates to see which one will get their support, if any. I listened to one of the biggies of this conference on TV saying they want to hear what all of the candidates have to say. And that they were looking for those candidates that held a Judeo-Christian belief which is the bedrock of American society.

I found amusing. Why? Look at abortion, the fetus is a major player in their platform; it is very important. But once the child is born their concern seems to be non-existent. They are against a health plan for children because it would cost money. Where is the concern? Does not the child deserve as much if not more attention than the fetus?

Move on! Liars! This group of voters is strongly behind the war, for the most part, even though it was consummated with lies. Seems to me that I recall something in the Christian belief about lies. But I guess that political lies are not covered in that commandment.

Shall we go on? How about that honor for mother and father? But yet they want to dismantle a government retirement system that benefits their parents. Where is the commandment there?

I will cease now. My point is that there stances are no more based in Christian beliefs than those of Mao. Their positions on issues are self-serving, not what is best for the people. They should have NO say in the political future of the US.

Pissed? Good! Now go away!
