Jonathan,

Check out http://www.chuckbaldwinlive... and let me know what you think. I really like this guy so far. He really hits the nail on the head i think with his take on Sarah Palin for instance (sept. 3rd article) and this article: http://www.chuckbaldwinlive...

Here is a google video: http://video.google.com/vid...

Sincerely,
matt

Interesting. Yeah, i wouldn't doubt it, because i remember reading a "family values" website back when Huckabee was still in the race, that was suggesting that ron paul was some how not pro-life, which is of course a joke after you know that he has delivered 4,000+ babies. But that doesn't surprise me when you look at all the past elections where the evangelical christians are voting based on one or two issues such as abortion or gay-marriage. Don't get me wrong, i am a definitely pro-life and believe God created marriage for man and woman, but sadly, as you know, many people don't look any further than the surface before voting, instead of the facts. So, i will definitely check that link out. Thanks for the info.

Hello Jonathan. Here is a video that i had not seen before about infanticide and obama. I will not vote for either obama or mccain because they both represent more of the same overall, so this is not about me trying to bash one candidate. But i just watched this and wanted to pass it along for informational purposes.

Thanks for the reply Jonathan.

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." Proverbs 14:12

There are so many things in life that seem to be a good idea or make sense, but ultimately are either not good at all, or may even be good things, but not the best.

I like your approach, which is to say that you do not make assumptions or superficial arguments against candidates. I agree with this kind of approach. More people need to become educated about the details, such as voting records, history of defending constitution or not, and so on.

It is important to research these people and see who they associate with and what they really represent. I try to do that, but i tend to be less conservative with my criticisms of politicians, because i absolutely hate the injustices they commit. I mean, if congress was worth its salt, things would be much different today.

I think I can see what you mean about Obama regarding his approach with our troops and foreign policy. It sounds good and seems right, at least to the casual observer and many who are unaware of the truth in Iraq and other nations. But it is hard to know the truth as you probably know and it takes continual research and how many Americans really have time or energy or interest for that matter.

Btw, here is a different perspective on iraq that you won't see much on the news. Just a different perspective.:

Obama is probably sincere about some of his positions. But in the end, it is all just rhetoric. I believe that Obama is more interested in power and prestige than to truly serve the American people. Kind of like Oprah. Same thing goes for McCain obviously.

Even if Obama truly had our nation's best interest in mind, there is no solid proof that he will actually defend the constitution. That is the oath the president takes of course and that is one of the major differences between someone like Ron Paul and a politician.

Paul is not idealistic, he is realistic. He understands the media propaganda machine that has deceived the American people into believing that America can do no wrong. And though it is true, that America does do a lot of good things, compartmentalization and cover up keep the public from knowing many of the atrocities being committed by our own government on a daily basis. But people find that hard to swallow.

I think Ron Paul was correct in what he says about the McBama foreign policy because he was talking big picture, not details. Overall, their policies are not much different and the results are more of the same.

Nobody ever talks about the real problems that Paul and a few others address like the Federal Reserve (google fed. reserve), an illegal fed. income tax, trillions of dollars in debt and growing, nation building, economic hit men such as john perkins, the American global military empire with thousands of bases all over the world, the patriot act that pretty much destroyed 9 out of 10 of the bill of rights. Oh and did i forget to mention the war in Iraq and possible future war in Iran in the name of "democracy".

Wow, that makes me depressed.

No matter how many times senator Barrack Hussein Obama goes to other nations like Germany to deliver speeches or how many times he goes to Iraq to show how he can shoot a basketball and show how "cool" he is, he still continues to say nothing. If he is great at anything, it is his ability to say absolutely nothing and smile. If he ever addressed the real issues, and no i am not talking about "global warming", then i would respect him, but until then, he is a false hope for so called "change".

Too bad people wait until the general election to vote. The primaries and caucuses are where the real fight for power is and believe me, it is a dirty fight. The old guard brings out all the tricks to manipulate control of the system to their advantage.

Sorry, but i am not very optimistic about real change in this nation. That doesn't mean i won't continue to stand for truth and hope for the best, but i am a realist. Thanks for letting me rant a little. Oh and nice website btw.

in case your interested, here are some other videos that merely touch the tip of the iceburg called corruption:

I agree that Obama is more appealing than McCain by far since McCain is pretty much an idiot in my book, - i wonder if he is a sleepy agent :) - but Obama is still a politician and you know what that means. Say whatever you have to in order to get a vote. I know first hand what this looks like when i attended the Missouri district caucus and the republican state convention in MO. They all talked the talk like "good republicans" with "christian" values, but did not walk the walk.

I highly recommend this recent Ron Paul video that explains a lot in just a few minutes. Ron Paul isn't perfect, but he sure is a truth teller like no other. He says it like it is and votes the same way. I just wished everyone in America did that! I wished the politicians acted like real christians for that matter, but as the old guy on grumpy old men says, "you can wish in one hand and crap in the other." it does no good.
