Dumb Question

Well this evening CNN asked the public (in it's poll question) "Which party will be more successful in attracting evangelicals?". Well I think that kind of question is the type of question that dumb downs the rhetoric in the political discussions going on out there. For a cable news station to try to categorize people into one political camp based on their religious affiliation alone is awfully simpleminded. The Republicans are stronger on their abortion issue, but the Democrats are much stronger on taking care of their fellow man, taking care of this earth, (both issues are actually in the Bible), and they are better at taking care of pocket book issues of the regular Joe. But Republicans seem to have a more credible record on killing, profits for corporations, and keeping regulations away from corporations in order to save them as much as possible and past the costs to consumers. I would hate to be raising children right now. What can you hope to leave your children? I admire people who are having kids, I really do. But please don't hate me, but I don't think people with kids deserve taxes breaks for having so many kids. Get a tax break for one, maybe two kids, but that's it, after 2 kids, no more tax breaks, no deductions, not at my expense! If you have kids you must be able to afford them, if not don't expect the rest of the country to pay for them! It's all on you.

The Evangelical voter, in fact ALL voters, should vote with their own brain, not their religious leader's brain. We live in America where we vote for ourselves and each of us should vote our own mind. We need to make our own decisions, and be willing to defend those decisions with violence if necessary, but with our minds first.
