Wonder when Julian Castro's turn will come? I've heard about him, but never heard him until now.

What an exciting time we live in!

Yeah, I find those Obama/Castro signs particularly unnerving.

I support choice. God doesn't force anyone to do anything; he tells you what he requires if you want to have eternal life but he doesn't make you do it. He allows you to choose.

Based on my beliefs abortion would not be a choice for me but I don't expect anyone else to live their lives based on my beliefs.

As a resident of MA, I can tell you that the man on that podium is not the boob who barely governs my state. He thinks he's next in line.

I have a question: What does the Bible say about letting poor people suffer or possibly die with no help from others?

The Christian who wants the government to protect the unborn but demands that the same government turns its back on the poor is really no better than someone who supports abortion, IMO. Both sides are content to let innocent people die--just as long as the government doesn't get involved. Such people only support the "sanctity of life" as long as they don't have to help support it with tax money.

So how dare you question someone's christian faith just because their political beliefs differ from yours. Did Jesus tell you not to vote for Obama?

Yep. That's right. Republicans want dirty air and dirty water. We want to push granny off the cliff and club baby seals. The public unions DO suck off the public teat and they've sucked our damn boobs dry! How about THEY start paying their "fair share"? My school taxes have tripled. We have gym teacher making $145,000 in my district! And thankfully, we have VOLUNTEER firemen.

Ryan has a PLAN to SAVE Medicare and SS. Obama has NO PLAN to address entitlements.

Would you call it ageism toward Eastwood? I don't know. He is old. He did seem forgetful. And it took awhile to catch on to what he was doing there. I think it was unkind and short-sighted of the RNC to have him there without a run-through of his "speech" before time for him to speak. But then some people 82 years old are quite sharp, quick, articulate and quick minded.

As for "Depends".....lol ...that's funny!
