Again, since people are not understanding, I am against abortion and gay marriage. However, I do not understand why these two issues overshadow all of the other evil things that are being done. I'm sorry, Republicans do not have a trademark on morality. I do not appreciate, nor do I think it's accurate to paint all Democrats as heathens. How many Republicans who pay lip-service to being Christians have paid for other people's abortions or came out as homosexuals?

I do not consider this war pre-emptive..considering we had been attacked on the USS Cole, the World Trade Center, and 9-11...this is primarily where u and I..and many others will disagree. I think our past policies of not being on the offensive against terrorists (not limited to saddam and bin laden) were silly. And I would hardly say its little evidence being that ALL credible intelligence said the same thing at the time..and the Russian President personally called Dubya TWICE to tell him he had proof we were going to be attacked..so again....many look at what i've said and will still default to the same ol rhetoric bush lied people died...or we're ignoring the war on terror because we haven't caught bin laden...but I and the majority of people in America..disagree.
Also, I think its incorrect to assume that Christians that voted for Dubya ONLY voted on the basis of gay marriage and abortion. Of course those were important..but those were not the only reasons. I know you say you don't understand why these issues are
that important..but again, it depends on what's important to you. And since when have Republicans painted Democrats as heathens? I think Dems have painted themselves that way. Dems want to be everything to everybody and hand out entitlements to make people happy. Everything is acceptable all in the name of tolerance and being progressive. I hope instead of attacking Republicans for the next 4 years, the Democratic Party takes a long hard look at what they really stand for. Dems/liberals pride themselves of being so tolerant...but its funny how INtolerant they are of those who look to God/Bible to guide their daily lives...
