(5,810 posts)I was so disheartened when there was a discussion (during the debate this a.m.) about the cuts in funds for LIHEAP (money to help low income people with heating costs). Romney launched into comments about POLICY and had not one word about the suffering of the people who have no heat in their homes. They have not a clue and frankly act like they don't care. They are mean spirited and not afraid to show that. I guess because so many people who will vote for them feel the same way.
I hope anyone watching this bunch of heartless bastards recognizes them for what they are. They all claim to be Christians and try to get the rest of us all misty eyed over that but it seems to me that they have missed the central message of Christianity no matter which denomination they are and that is to love one another and care for those who are less fortunate. "For as you have done for the least of these, you have done for me." I lost my taste for organized religion long ago for just this reason and the candidates running for the Republican nomination are the embodiment of all that is wrong with Christianity. They talk the talk but can't even begin to walk the walk. It ain't in 'em.
