A open letter to my sister and brother.
Why do you guys keep accusing Kerry of not directly addressing the Issues????
That boggles my mind. He has directly addressed every issue!! During the debates Bush Very rarely address any of the issues directly, instead he chose to direct the talk back to the war on terror or the Internets? Uh what? The link that I posted in my last blog in regards to Abortion was to educate you guys as to why Kerry voted the way he did on the partial birth abortion ban. Have any of you done your homework on why Kerry voted the way he did??? Please do so before attacking him!! I agree someone needs to fight for the child, I AM PRO LIFE!!, But Your canidate also said that he would allow abortions in extreme situations. You cannot deny he said that.
Just because John Kerrys religious advisor supposedly said that he or she wants to remove “Under God” from the pledge, does not give anyone the right to attack him on that. I mean if your gonna play that game then I will start attacking George Bush because His Running Mate is for Gay Marriage. Dick Cheney has a lesbian daughter and was qouted as saying to be free means freedom for all!
I don’t attack Bush on that because I know that’s not how he beileves.
Oh and Mr. Cheney also said that the Issue of Gay Marriage should be left to the states. Is that also avoiding the subject???
Will, You wrote this: Bush signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban that Put a End that that extreme thing. Kerry voted against it every time it came up for a vote durning the Clinton and Bush 2 Years.
Please reference this link, it will explain why he did that.

Conservatives: Do any of you take the time to follow what your senators or Representatives are doing in Washington?? You can look up there voting records online!! I encourage you to do that instead of letting Rush Limbaugh tell you. You cant beileve what he says anyway, he is jacked up on pain pills all the time!!!!
I mean our tax dollars pay there salary, we need to pay close attention to how they vote and why they did it. You have the right to know how they voted and most importantly why they did it. They could have voted no because they simply didn’t like how the bill was written. The bill could have been rewritten and voted on again and maybe the second time he or she voted yes??
In closing: It is not my intention to start a pissing match with my sister and my brother. I created this blog to get these thoughts out of my head! This has been very theraputic and enjoyable!!
Behave yourselfs

what Sheree and i are trying to say is that we disagree with the Issus that Mr. Kerry has.
Sherre Looking after JJ and I'm for my him and mine.
I Think it right to do this is to respond to your Post is do pick it apart.
Frist to the one thing of mine you respond
i saw the link and it no new stuff to me. i knew why he and the outer voted that way but i still thnk Partial Birth Abortion is inhuman
their are outher ways Abortion is not it
Charlie-"But Your canidate also said that he would allow abortions in extreme situations. You cannot deny he said that."
that is From the 2nd Debate the The issue of Abortion was brought up
(Q-Senator Kerry, suppose you are speaking with a voter who
believed abortion is murder, and the voter asked for reassurance that his or her tax dollars would not go to support abortion. What would you say to that person?
SENATOR KERRY: I would say to that person exactly what I will say to you right now. First of all, I cannot tell you how deeply I respect the belief about life and when it begins. I'm a Catholic, raised a Catholic, I was an altar boy. Religion has been a huge part of my life. It helped lead me through a war, leads me today. But I can't take what is an article of faith for me and legislate it for someone who doesn't share that article of faith, whether they be agnostic, atheist, Jew, protestant, whatever. I can't do that.
But I can counsel people. I can talk reasonably about life and about responsibility. I can talk to people, as my wife Teresa does, about making other choices, and about abstinence, and about all these other things that we ought to do as a responsible society. But as a President, I have to represent all the people in the nation. And I have to make that judgment.
Now, I believe that -- that you can take that position and not be pro-abortion. But you have to afford people their constitutional rights. And that means being smart about allowing people to be fully educated, to know what their options are in life, and making certain that you don't deny a poor person the right to be able to have whatever the Constitution affords them if they can't afford it otherwise.
That's why I think it's important. That's why I think it's important for the United States, for instance, not to have this rigid ideological restriction on helping families around the world to be able to make a smart decision about family planning. You'll help prevent AIDS. You'll help prevent unwanted children, unwanted pregnancies. You'll actually do a better job, I think, of passing on the moral responsibility that is expressed in your question and I truly respect it.
MODERATOR: Mr. President, a minute-and-a-half.
PRESIDENT BUSH: Trying to decipher that. (Laughter.) My answer is we're not going to spend federal taxpayers' money on abortion. This is an issue that divides America, but certainly reasonable people can agree on how to reduce abortions in America. I signed the ban on partial-birth abortion. It's a brutal practice. It's one way to help reduce abortions. My opponent voted against the ban. I think there ought to be parental notification laws. He's against them. I signed a bill called the Unborn Victims of Violent Act -- in other words, if you're a mom and you're pregnant, you get killed, the murderer gets tried for two cases, not just one. My opponent is against that. These are reasonable ways to help promote a culture of life in America.
I think it is a worthy goal in America to have every child protected by law and welcomed in life. I also think we ought to continue to have good adoption law as an alternative to abortion. And we need to promote maternity group homes, which my administration has done. Culture of life is really important for a country to have if it's going to be a hospitable society.
Thank you.)
Where dose Bush say that he wrold allow it
Here from the 3 rd
(SCHIEFFER: Senator Kerry, a new question for you.
The New York Times reports that some Catholic archbishops are telling their church members that it would be a sin to vote for a candidate like you because you support a woman's right to choose an abortion and unlimited stem-cell research.
What is your reaction to that?
KERRY: I respect their views. I completely respect their views. I am a Catholic. And I grew up learning how to respect those views. But I disagree with them, as do many.
I believe that I can't legislate or transfer to another American citizen my article of faith. What is an article of faith for me is not something that I can legislate on somebody who doesn't share that article of faith.
I believe that choice is a woman's choice. It's between a woman, God and her doctor. And that's why I support that.
Now, I will not allow somebody to come in and change Roe v. Wade.
The president has never said whether or not he would do that. But we know from the people he's tried to appoint to the court he wants to.
I will not. I will defend the right of Roe v. Wade.
Now, with respect to religion, you know, as I said, I grew up a Catholic. I was an altar boy. I know that throughout my life this has made a difference to me.
And as President Kennedy said when he ran for president, he said, "I'm not running to be a Catholic president. I'm running to be a president who happens to be Catholic. "
My faith affects everything that I do, in truth. There's a great passage of the Bible that says, "What does it mean, my brother, to say you have faith if there are no deeds? Faith without works is dead. "
And I think that everything you do in public life has to be guided by your faith, affected by your faith, but without transferring it in any official way to other people.
That's why I fight against poverty. That's why I fight to clean up the environment and protect this earth.
That's why I fight for equality and justice. All of those things come out of that fundamental teaching and belief of faith.
But I know this, that President Kennedy in his inaugural address told all of us that here on Earth, God's work must truly be our own. And that's what we have to -- I think that's the test of public service.
SCHIEFFER: Mr. President?
BUSH: I think it's important to promote a culture of life. I think a hospitable society is a society where every being counts and every person matters. I believe the ideal world is one in which every child is protected in law and welcomed to life. I understand there's great differences on this issue of abortion, but I believe reasonable people can come together and put good law in place that will help reduce the number of abortions.
Take, for example, the ban on partial birth abortion. It's a brutal practice. People from both political parties came together in the halls of Congress and voted overwhelmingly to ban that practice. It made a lot of sense. My opponent, in that he's out of the mainstream, voted against that law.
What I'm saying is, is that as we promote life and promote a culture of life, surely there are ways we can work together to reduce the number of abortions: continue to promote adoption laws -- it's a great alternative to abortion -- continue to fund and promote maternity group homes; I will continue to promote abstinence programs.
The last debate, my opponent said his wife was involved with those programs. That's great. I appreciate that very much. All of us ought to be involved with programs that provide a viable alternative to abortion. )
A alternative to abortion
Great Lest do that and end the in human thing
Charlie-Just because John Kerrys religious advisor supposedly said that he or she wants to remove “Under God” from the pledge, does not give anyone the right to attack him on that. I mean if your gonna play that game then I will start attacking George Bush because His Running Mate is for Gay Marriage. Dick Cheney has a lesbian daughter and was qouted as saying to be free means freedom for all!
I don’t attack Bush on that because I know that’s not how he beileves."
Then John Kerry should Fire that religious advisor and get new ones cuse that may happen
and reference back to kerry own wrods about article of faith.

Conservatives: Do any of you take the time to follow what your senators or Representatives are doing in Washington?? You can look up there voting records online!! I encourage you to do that instead of letting Rush Limbaugh tell you. You cant beileve what he says anyway, he is jacked up on pain pills all the time!!!!
I mean our tax dollars pay there salary, we need to pay close attention to how they vote and why they did it. You have the right to know how they voted and most importantly why they did it. They could have voted no because they simply didn’t like how the bill was written. The bill could have been rewritten and voted on again and maybe the second time he or she voted yes??
