Washington Post: GOP Seeks Sizable Segment Of Black Voters Based On Common Ground On Social Issues

RON PAUL WILL PRESERVE SOCIAL SECURITY
Our nation''s promise to its seniors, once considered a sacred trust, has become little more than a tool for politicians to scare retirees while robbing them of their promised benefits to pay for militarization. Today, the Social Security system is both broke and broken. Those in the system are seeing their benefits dwindle due to higher taxes, increasing inflation, and irresponsible military spending. The proposed solutions, ranging from lower benefits to higher taxes to increasing the age of eligibility, are NOT solutions; they are betrayals. Imposing any tax on Social Security benefits is unfair and illogical. In Congress, Dr. Paul introduced the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act, which repeals ALL taxes on Social Security benefits, to eliminate political theft of our seniors'' income and raise their standard of living. Solvency is the key to keeping our promise to our seniors, and he introduced the Social Security Preservation Act (H.R. 219) to ensure that money paid into the system is ONLY used for Social Security. Also, it is fundamentally unfair to give benefits to anyone who has not paid into the system. The Social Security for Americans Only Act, which Ron Paul supported, ends the drain on Social Security caused by illegal aliens seeking the fruits of your labor. In short, if we stop our runaway military spending overseas, there will be plenty of money available to keep Social Security solvent for decades to come.

Religion and Politics don''t mix! The separation between Church and State is not just a good idea, its the ultimate in common sense, too many religions like too many Gods spoil the meal. The my God is better than your God and my religion is better than your religion madness! Join ours or die! ***

So the evangelicals are going to support Democrats because of why?
1. Socialism - All I got out of this article is that Black Evangelicals are willing to overlook abortion and same *** marriage, because getting the government handout is a more important "moral" issue.
2. "Discrimination is Immoral". Really? then why are Evangelicals and the "Christian" movement so dead set against Romney becaue he is Mormon?

Nothing more important to worry about than "same-*** marriage"?

Perhaps if we would all crack open our Bible from time to time, there would be a little less self-righteousness to throw around.

And if so called Christians actually understood what they read in the bible and lived their lives accordingly, then snakes like Bush would not so easily slither around and be caressed and mistaken for Christians by them. Most aren''t Christians, they are Christian wannabees with no grounding, comprehension or understanding either in faith or the word.

The biggest mistake that some in Black or any other Church makes--is believing that when someone who wants something from you--agrees with you and pretends to believe like you do---that they actually do.

God gave everyone a little thing called common sense and observation--if they used that over the past few years; besides the homosexuality, hypocrisy, adultry and stealing, surely the lies, lust for war (war mongering), torture and other unsavory things should have let them know that the Republican party is no more saved or sanctified than the Beast with the 3 sixes, himself. Get a clue , so called Christians--lest you be deceived.

Here''s a moral issue: Judge not, lest ye be judged. How about this one: We all fall short of the Glory of God. Perhaps if we would all crack open our Bible from time to time, there would be a little less self-righteousness to throw around.

"You don''''t have someone who is a Christian evangelical like Bush to really revitalize the black evangelicals this time around," said John C. Green, senior fellow at the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

LMAO. Well, PT Barnum said it best. "There is a sucker born every minute." And whoever thought that Bush was a true Christian is one of those suckers.

Pastor Lyle Dukes of Harvest Life Changers Church in Woodbridge, a member of Jackson''s group who supported Bush in 2004. "What we think is moral is not only the defense of marriage, but we also think equal education is a moral issue. We think discrimination is immoral."

Do you believe discrimination is an immoral issue?
