South Dakota Right to Life has released their 2012 primary voter guide. It examines the voting records (or, in the case of candidates who have not served in public office before, their statements and responses to surveys) of the candidates with regard to pro-life issues.
For the Christian or anyone else who recognizes that human life is sacred, created in the image of God, and that innocent human life exists inside the womb, this is an issue of paramount importance. This issue also runs across several legislative boundaries which go beyond a simple vote for or against abortion, for or against measures which restrict the destruction of innocent human life.
As has been confirmed in the past year, we now know beyond a shadow of a doubt, ObamaCare would trample religious freedom by forcing even religious organizations to provide abortifacients. It also provides abortion coverage for $1.
Therefore, anyone who has supported, promoted or facilitated ObamaCare has supported, promoted and facilitated abortion and an attack on religious liberty. Anyone who has had an opportunity to fight ObamaCare and has declined or rejected that opportunity has declined or rejected an opportunity to fight abortion and attacks on religious liberty. I don’t think this voter guide takes this cold reality into consideration, because there are people who appear to have good pro-life ratings…but have been ardent defenders of ObamaCare (with their actions, if not their words).
So, as you make use of this voter guide, don’t stop there but go on to do your own homework.
Nevertheless, the voter guide does reveal some reveal pretty obvious differences:
Some others reveal candidates with very similar positions on the life issue:
As always, do your homework before voting. Look up the candidate’s records for yourself and make sure nothing was missed in this scorecard, either good or bad. Ultimately YOU will be morally responsible to your Creator for what you did with your vote. Voting without knowing the records of the people involved is like waving a gun around blindfolded and then firing at what you think is the target: in other words, it’s a good way to do a lot of harm.
What did our nation’s first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John Jay, say?
“Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

Don't you just love it when liberals (selectively) thump the Bible to browbeat good people into going along with things the Bible clearly doesn't say or condone? Ohio Governor John Kasich is now trying to scam people into believing God is a socialist and He wants Kasich to take your property and give it to other people. Last time I checked, neither the Bible nor the U.S. Constitution gave authority for that.
GOP support for the amnesty bill is drying up like a wad of spit on the sand along the southern border of the United States. Interestingly, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who was backed by the Tea Party when he was elected, has not only pushed this turd of an amnesty bill with the worst of them (like Demagogue Senator Chuck Schumer), but voted against securing the border today.
In case you missed it, Rush Limbaugh interviewed Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his radio show earlier today. There are RINOs, there are Republicans who disappoint and flirt with becoming RINOs...and then there are real Republicans. There is every indication that Ted Cruz is the real deal, and is a reliable Republican. He tells the truth, tells it like it is, and ticks off the "mainstream" media and other liberals something fierce.
Do you know what a "demagogue" is? Webster's dictionary defines demagogue as "a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power." Does that describe any politicians you know? Does that describe a particular political party that you've heard of?
Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory is a former Democrat who switched to the GOP after a recent event in which black conservatives reached out to black Democrats, not through pandering but through real messaging about Republican values. In this video, Guillory explains why he switched from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party. He also shares some information that may come as a big surprise to many black Democrats.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
