This was a political stunt for the 2012 election.__Funny thing is, Obama said we should put politics aside and support this bill. No better definition for 'hypocrit' than that.

You really don't listen to the other sides comment? Wow, talk about closed minded. note to self- don't waste my time thinking before responding to bearzooka Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:36:34 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/128601448.html?#IDComment187807736 http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/128601448.html?#IDComment187804906 Why do you keep bringing up the bible in your arguement? Your debater isn't speaking of it.

Yes, she may also be a bigot, but that accusation would be presumptuous here. Also, your elitist insults will probably turn those who may agree with your argument off. Calm your approach. Don't feel you need to insult those you debate to win. Please don't take that as a attack, rather a suggestion.

You want to do something, and he says do nothing.

I had to go back and re-read the comments. There isn't any bigotry in that statement. None! Is this the way you end a arguement your'e losing? Calling someone a bigot who isn't one is lower than bigotry.

The local news would call out the local 'pit bull owners club' president. She would always say what you said, "It's not the bad dog it's the bad owner". Then her dog mauled a child. Oh yea, never saw her on TV again.

They also called anyone out who wanted earmarks added to gain support. I'm not a tea party member, but I watch them at the local government level 'cleaning house' of waste. It's probably easier at that level, but they are passionate about simple/inexpensive government.

Maybe he thought everybody knew that. So did I.

Not raising deficits. I can't see where you get such confused information. Also, I figured your message was about raising taxes before I got to your 'tax hikes' line.

What's wrong with cutting spending?

He also broke some. The purpose of those laws were to show us we couldn't follow them. That doesn't mean they weren't something people could ignore, just that they needed saving from they're failues. Sin is still sin, and God provided knowledge of sin. He also said from the begg=ining of the bible he would provide a savior. I pray you will someday know Jesus as your savior and lord.

Men like Jefferson could have benefited from such enlightened people.

Most folks would call it bigoted.

It was to show us we needed saving from our sinful nature. The old testament was given to drive us to Jesus.

We will see if they feel winning a election is more important than theirs or their constituents morals. Most politicians will choose their careers.
