I watched in horror as several of the Democratic Party’s candidates for President openly condone and approved of abortion and gay marriage. Others, thinly veiled their contempt for the US military preferring them to be brought home in disgrace than to make any attempt to win the war in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Earlier in the week, I saw Democrats use both the relatives of deceased Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch themselves in an attempt to smear and discredit the President. Democrats would rather use the military as pawns instead of appreciating the sacrifice they make for this country.
Senator Kucinich openly defended gay marriage and hoped that his daughter, if she ever turned homosexual, would have free access to jobs and housing. Of course, he mentioned nothing of his own responsibility to be a parent and to teach his child that homosexuality is wrong. He would rather just abdicate that role and make accomodations for his mistakes instead.
On the issue of partial ban abortion the candidates were even more immoral. It was clearly stated that despite the ruling by the Supreme Court, every attempt would be made to make partial birth abortions legal claiming that it is a woman’s right to destroy a child. Other than instances of rape, wouldn’t it have been better if the woman was just responsible with her sexuality? I guess not for responsibility is no longer a principle we look up to.
Other candidates have a history of favoring lobbyists and receiving kickbacks for their votes.
All in all, the debate was more a display with what is wrong with America than it was how these hopeful politicians intend on leading us in the 21st Century.
Morality can be bought and sold as evident by the debate last night and that is a frightening though.
