"NO ONE complained when Bush grew the government and the deficit for eight years." That is simply NOT TRUE. Beck was just as critical of increased spending under Bush as he is under Obama. shootingmessengers.blogspot.com

RE:NO ONE complained when Bush grew the government and the deficit for eight years. In 2.5 years, Obama has matched Bush's deficits of 8 years($4 trillion). Bush was irresponsible. Obama is just plain destructive, incompetent and a POS.

sidney..."Christian conservatives (me) are only Republicans because of one issue, abortion.".... I posted an article to you of a study showing that indeed republicans/conservatives give more to charity than liberal/democrats, now after calling yourself a christian conservative one would think that you might be somewhat pleased that Republican/christian/conservatives give more to charity than democrat/liberals but it appears this is not the case...you start spouting off about abortion...you were proven WRONG so you do what democrat/liberal fanatics do...change the subject. Are you sending all of us a liberal/democratic message here?

Sidney, some Christians who do not believe in abortion just believe that this religious decision belongs to the individual rather than the government. It is a moral issue between the individual and their God! Another similar decision is, "when does death occur?" Does the individual have the right to say to the physician, "keep me alive at all cost through the use of respirator, etc.? One of my neighbor's, a physician, has stated that he does not want chemical or radiation treatment to extend his life. He is dying of a brain tumor. Should he have that right even though the treatment may extend his life "x" number of years! If the individuals is brain dead, but a respirator maintains the function of his body organs with the exception of the cognitive regions of the brain, is the individual deceased? Does the individual or his family morally have the right to terminate the total function of one's body? Personally, I believe morally he/she has that right! Again, it is the individual choice of the person after praying with his Creator. That decision does not belong with the government.
