| bigjon said: How is she misleading people? The she has her own beliefs based on the Bible. The Bible says murder is wrong, she is against abortion. The Bible says Homosexuality is wrong- she is against Gay Marriage. For me someone who says they believe the Bible but is Pro things that are against it. You really cannot totally believe the Bible and be a liberal. I mean seriously look at alot of things the Bible says... It goes COMPLETELY against humanistic philosophy. Now, some people pick and choose what they want to believe in the Bible and can alter the Bibles interpretation (sometime people "modernize" it), but they really do not believe the Bible. Also, when it comes to right wingers, I think peoples big problem with them is not what they believe it is their lack of compassion about what they believe.

If you think abortion is murder, then you are more than entitled to that viewpoint. But why should what you believe affect what other people do whenever there is a legitimate debate over whether or not a fetus is even alive until a certain point during pregnancy?
You also don't have to bear the burden of having and raising that child, so why do you give a shit? Just leave people alone and let them make the choices that are right for them. It doesn't reflect on your morality positively or negatively.
And you are also making the assumption that what is said in the Bible is applicable to everyone in the country. Why is that true? Last time I checked we have a separation of church and state.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
