Pro-Life for Obama

If you happen to pro-life, and find yourself convinced that Barrack Obama is your candidate, I think you need to read  this article.  Those who know me are aware that I am not a big fan of either of the two major party candidates, and will likely vote for a third party candidate if at all.  Abortion is the one issue that could get me to vote for Senator McCain and only because he is not Barrack Obama.   Unfortunately that remains one issue where the Republican party somehow manages to hold Christians under the big tent while they grow the government and thus reduce personal liberty.          

I'm beginning to believe we, as Christians, need a new strategy regarding abortion that looks beyond the next 4, 8, or even 80 years.  Our eternal perspective needs to think of a world for our children, grandchildren, and perhaps great-grandchildren where abortion doesn't need to be banned because it is already obsolete.

RealClearPolitics - Articles - Negative Advertising vs. 'Real Issues'

Mr. Sowell, yet again, sums up the random thoughts floating around in my head in a clear an concise manner.

I've come to accept that Presidential Politicking is a necessary evil.  Anyone who thinks that a candidate can get elected without pointing out the faults or wrong stances of his opponent is naive. Now we have politicians who are trying to convince us that doing so is wrong and avoiding the 'real issues.'  Forgive me if I believe prudence, character, and integrity are qualities I would like to see in the people I elect to handle 'real issues.'

Third Party Challenge

I just wanted to remind my fellow Americans who feel like neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are really listening that there are third party candidates running in nearly ever race this year.

Will they win? Doubtful.

Would some of them make good leaders or representatives? Probably.

I speak with so many who see voting for a third party candidate as a wasted vote. I'm not convinced. I believe that as long as Americans continue to settle for the least objectionable candidate the duel party system puts forth they will continue to elect empty suits who represent their interest over ours. If more of us were to vote FOR candidates we like (such as libertarians or greens) we might find the Republicans and Democrats forced to deal with just how out of touch with us they are and maybe start giving us some real choices.

So maybe you can't bring yourself to do it. Maybe you can't stand the idea of McCain so you feel you have to vote Obama. Maybe you can't stand Obama so you feel you have to vote for McCain. If that's your attitude, then you are perfect for this challenge:

Have a look at the ballot for your voting precinct, and pick one race in which you will at least consider if not vote for a third party candidate.
