Another Fine GOP Example of Morality

Very true, all have sinned. However, a certain degree of honesty should be expected in our leaders, such as believing in running this country by its document, called the Constitution. It also means that when you run for election based on conservative values, you act like a conservative, instead of a liberal pretending to be conservative. The last legitimate President we had from the Republican party was Ronald Reagan. Look at the Republican nominees since 1988. Maybe Dole came closest to being what I am talking about, and he lost.

 

The Christian walk has to do with being more like Christ each day. Its called sanctification. So which sins do we commit that are not as bad as other sins in our walk with the Lord? And on whose authority is such a list established?

 

There is nothing fun or funny about it. You brought up the idea that some sins are worse than others. No doubt the ones that you put on the bottom rung are the ones you have trouble with.

 

And why do you tolerate this nation being governed at such low standards in a manner that disregards the Constitution? How can you sit there and not see the quality of Repubican candidates for President since 1988? No, there will never be a party not sinful, but that does not mean that the two parties that exist that do nothing but steal, do anything to keep power, and refuse to govern like the Constitution says have to be tolerated. It is statements like "I am confused" that feeds the two party system and nothing will change.

Now as for the greater sin, what does what Jesus said have to do with electing honest politicians? Aside from that, who are you are any other flawed human to make a judgement about which sin is greater? Great job we have already don with that. In most churches, buying a lottery ticket gives rise to a sin we ignore, gossip. Now which causes more harm? The bottom line is sin is sin. Without salvation, you end up in the same place.

Why don't you stop giving the Republicans a free pass and elect people that want to serve and not steal?

 

No one said without sin. One can always find excuses to give a blind eye to leaders who steal and practice liberalism. It seems very odd when a Democrat does something similar there is thread after thread of endless condemnation, but in this case, we are excusing Republican behavior.

 

If the Republicans are putting in their platform pro-life, traditional family values, conservative ideals, and a return to Constitutional government, then that is what they should do. How does that stack up with Bush, Bush and McCain. It has nothing to do with what is written on a piece of paper, it has to do with the character of the leader. We expect nothing of the kind from Democrats, because their agenda is also written down and they follow it.

That is the exact point. As long as we give a smile, nod and wink and let this pass, we will get the same results.

 

That I agee with 100%. He cannot be very bright in the first place.

 

I got better things to do with my life than wallow in the filth of stealing from the American people. No, my sin is no better or worse. Then again, I am not in a leadership position of trust.

 

Actually politics and the Lord should be kept seperate. Republicans being .001% closer to Christian values than Democrats does not say much. No one expects perfection. Degrees of sin which I did not bring up only nit picks and does not solve the problem. We have the right to expect leaders who will run the nation as servants, by the Constitution, and be honest. That does not mean sinless perfection in the spiritual sense. You take the last several Republican nominees, for example super Conservative John McCain. I can remember a banking scandal, liberal votes, crazy ideas like picking a democrat for VP. We do not have to set the bar so low.

As far as the surgery, the sternum did not heal properly, and I can feel popping and crackling at times. It grew back together as gristle instead of bone. The only solution is to redo the cracking and rewire it. No thanks. Aside from that, it is good to be alive, I go to school full time, and substitute teach aside from the church work. Thanks for asking.
