Reply #138: Are you kidding?

Your mother turned against Kerry? She supported Bush? I cannot see anything that Bush has to offer that would make me turn to this administration. Anti-affirmative action, non funding of No child Left Behind, packing the court with strict constructionist judges? The Republican party is the party of Trent Lott, Jesse Helms, Strom Thurmond, Clarence Thomas, Armstrong Williams. The party that did not wish to place sanctions on South Africa to end its apartheid regime, the party that thought Nelson Mandela should remain in prison. Gee,don't mean to offend but I am so glad that most blacks are not so easily manipulated.

Did you tell your mother that there is more than sexual morality? What about caring for the poor. Isn't that a moral issue? What about the preservation of civil rights for all, that isn't a moral issue? The Republicans talk against abortion but they don't want to care for that baby once it's born. And what of capital punishment. I am a church going liberal who is opposed to capital punishment, but many of the same people opposing abortion supports the killing of other human beings. The so called God fearing people completely ignore the commandment Thou shalt not kill. And finally, I think a little examination on your part would reveal that there are just as many sexually immoral persons in the Republican party as in the Democratic Party. People just are not perfect and some will always behave badly.
