He had been referencing the political system in the U.S., and said neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can be looked to for help.
He cited the recent budget approved by House Speaker Paul Ryan, endorsed by the House and Senate and signed by President Obama – more than a trillion dollars of spending. Nowhere does it protect the lives of the unborn, he noted.
“This is an example of why I have resigned from the Republican Party and declared myself independent. I have no hope in the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, or tea party to do what is best for America.”
He is referring to the latest budget deal and the funding of Planned un-Parenthood.
I agree that political parties are not the answer, but it's difficult in that I don't want the anti-Democrat votes split in half.
This was also interesting from the article.
And a former National Football League player who now is working with the Family Research Council previously called for more Christians to be speaking up as America chooses distinctly anti-Christian paths.
But former New England Patriot Craig James says facing trials should bring people closer to God, and he thinks more Christians should be speaking up as America chooses distinctly anti-Christian paths.

It was that issue that got him removed from a job at Fox Sports Southwest. He had openly supported protections for traditional marriage while a candidate for office, and those statements were resurrected by homosexual activists when he got a position with Fox.
The network immediately removed him from his post.
“Fox Sports did fire me, and they did issue a statement to the Dallas Morning News that said that my comments and my biblical belief on the definition of marriage would not fly in their HR department,” said James.
I'm actually surprised there hasn't been more of an outcry from Conservatives regarding this budget since any action defunding Planned Parenthood was completely scuttled. A few months ago that's all anyone on the right talked about, but their leaders happily traded that away for some tax breaks for the wealthy.
You'd think there would be some discussion by Conservatives about how their representatives sold them down the river on an issue that is apparently important to them. But as usual, the GOP uses those kinds of issues to fire up the base but rarely follows through on any meaningful action. And the base keeps allowing themselves to be fooled.

I guess there's no outcry from me because that's what I expect most of these Republicans to do. I only have real influence over one rep and two Senators, and one President who I am pretty sure won't listen to me.

Never heard of him.
Even if I had why should I care what someone else does?
People switch party's all the time. It is nothing unusual.

There has been. It's been all over talk radio, TV and the internet. But not on MSNBC.
There's no discussion about Planned Parenthood in that thread. Judging from the number of threads in this forum just a few months back, and from all the political promises to defund it, there has been virtually no discussion about how the Republicans quietly chucked an issue that their constituents care deeply about in favor of tax breaks for their wealthy pals.

I don't watch television or listen to talk radio. My point was, it was all over the boards just a short while ago yet it's been crickets since this budget came out.
