Donny's Ramblings

Hi Donny, I haven’t read all these comments yet, but will later.
Vote what your conscience tells you. We should all study the issues and take this choice as seriously as you do.
Love you! “Aunt” Nancy

Back in the 70s, the civil-rights movement was blazing hot. Everyone was into MY civil rights and some were justly so. One can imagine how sensible it sounded for a woman to have “right” over her own body. Makes perfect sense, right? Obviously, that right has led to an outrageous abuse of power. Hindsight is perfectly clear!

The problem now is in getting it overturned by the same court that thought it sounded reasonable. Not one bit a president’s fault, but a misuse of judgement and power by misguided people.

Makes me think how wrong a decision to make marriage whatever is desired the same sort of terribly abused “right” or a civil right as it is today being presented. BEWARE folks!! We may be sitting 30-50 years down the road thinking “What the heck were we thinking?” This issue WILL reach the Supreme Court eventually.

Unfortunately, America is sliding even further down the tubes and many more people are swallowing the socialistic tendencies because the promises are so tempting to believe. The signs are there; it’s just a matter of how many are paying attention.

Dear Donny,
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but since you brought it up again, I thought I’d just say this and nothing else, so that is stands out.
As per the 30 years of conservatives, presidents, judges…and I saw this on some news broadcast, just don’t remember where or when, but it confirmed what I thought was true, though I don’t know law or how the justice system takes on things…
Roe V Wade cannot be over turned or reconsidered, unless there is an impending current case that would call it into question. The Supreme Court can not pull it up for review or any of its other cases or decisions, unless there is a reason to, as per a new case that would challenge decisions already made. Thus, it doesn’t matter how many, even if all of the justices were conservative, they can’t bring up Roe V Wade unless another case gives precedence to do so. I am sure there is legal jargon to explain it, but if the conservative judges hold to strict constitutionalism, then most likely that is why they wouldn’t arbitrarily change it. Otherwise, you may have back and forth putting in and taking out of many decisions past justices or judgments have been passed down as, just because there is a majority of liberal or conservative judges in there at any given time. I can’t say I have a legal backing on this presumption, but if there were a higher court than the supreme court, then maybe something of what you think should happen would, but they are the final word…unless something new comes up…otherwise, the only higher authority is God and in the end, I am sure He will have His say. In the meantime, many women suffer emotionally for their personal choices, for whatever reasons they have chosen…maybe in the court of the heart, is where the real choices and changes of choices takes place…and if guilt is the result, then it is God’s grace on those individuals, should they seek it, that they find reconciliation with the Judge of all judges, who is even greater than our own hearts. As for the forethoughts with Roe V Wade, I can’t prove I am right, but I believe that this is how it works. Thus, to make a judgment on conservative judges, presidents or the Republican party on such an issue, probably isn’t fair, if indeed it is true, that they can’t do anything about it…unless of course, like I said, another case challenges the decision, to more clearly consider what may not have been considered at the time Roe V Wade was decided upon, given whatever “evidences” they had at the time.

Donny,

Seems like you are making an educated choice because you’ve done your research on the issue. Why are you having moments of doubt? I’m asking because I’m not sure you’ve been specific as to why…or maybe I’ve missed it. Is it something you’re doubting about Obama, something that draws you to McCain, or is it just the abortion issue? I’m curious to know what made you question your choice just a week ago…is it just the fear that you may be rebelling? It seems to me that you would be able to draw on facts to back up your vote for Obama pretty well, though. Are you thinking that it all looks really good on paper, but that it would still be wrong to vote for a pro-choice candidate because you’re a Christian? Is it a mind vs heart thing?

To Stephen…..your doctor analogy makes no sense. The whole point of DT talking about the person who’s leading us is to consider WHERE the person will lead us!!

Your atheist / abusive doctor will LEAD that family to the health of that little girl! A good outcome, no? Following Bin Laden would probably lead us to radical Islam and death as a nation. Sound like your kind of destination? Does THAT sound like a leader you want to follow?

Here is my biggest problem with Obama; his economic / tax policy!

Regardless of who Joe the Plumber is or isn’t (I live in Toledo, Ohio and could pass along information the media got wrong or just plain lied about), “spreading the wealth around”, as Obama wants to do it, is simply WRONG! It’s not Joe’s QUESTION that’s the problem! Sen. Obama’s ANSWER is the problem!

It is one thing to GIVE to those in need (Jesus would be very happy about that), it is quite another to have your government TAKE it from you under threat of prison! And not just for them to take it from you, but to charge one person a higher percentage just because they worked hard enough to MAKE more money!

I made about $32,000.00 last year. I would SUPPOSEDLY be getting a check from Obama’s economic policy. I could CERTAINLY make use of that check, but NOT at the cost of communism!

A citizen who made $3 Million last year should have no more and no fewer rights than I do having made considerably less. We should all be charged the same percentage in taxes. Period.

I was gonna say Obama’s plan is a slippery slope to communism, but it’s not. It’s just communism. On Tuesday, I’ll be voting AGAINST Barack Obama.

Donny…..you’re a good man….ya know…from what i can tell reading your Ramblings. My opinion won’t change REGARDLESS of how you vote. As I’ve already told you (here or on MySpace), you only have to answer to God! Continue seeking His opinion.

Man I can’t WAIT to watch / listen to a commercial break with NO POLITICAL ADS! Can I get an amen?!

God help us. No matter WHO we elect.

I use ALL CAPS too much. LOL

now, i also know that this obama tax will affect small businesses starting at $250000 and above. the restaurant that i work at, which is mom and pop, grosses over a $1000000 a year. alot of small businesses, especially the trades…plumbing, electric, air condtion repair all make well above $250000 a year in my area. and there are alot of them. i know 2 businesses, one a brick laying business and the other a small electrician who have under ten employees but happen to make over $250000 a year. one of my questions is, what type of small business ONLY makes $250000 a year when so many in the area i live in make well above that? now one thing i dont understand that my boss told me is that this only applies to small businesses who are classified as S-CORPS. so if you dont classify as S-CORPS and make more than 250, no tax? why the heck arent they being specific with who exactly they are taxing?

do you guys know anything about this?

and one other point, you cut our taxes, that really isnt going to help me pay my bills. it is INCOME that helps me pay my bills and spend money. you give a working class guy or family $300-600, we just blow it and then its gone. what we need are better jobs, not a quick little cash injection. its the old adage, you give a man a fish he eats for a day.

a guy told me today, a poor man never gave HIM a job. its the wealthy who are the ones who predominately create work and build projects. and i hate to say that but its a fact.

and i voted today since we have early elections. i voted for mccain because at best, obama may help straighten out the economy but the cost of putting him in that job isnt worth it to me.

this will influence nobody here since most are decided, but it’s a great war vet’s short take on Obama.

I have already voted… It was casted for Obama/Biden. All things considered I found him to be the man the country needs at this time.

Bravo Dalen!

Not as slick as a multi-million $$$ infomercial (and we all know what to make of the “As seen on TV” truthfulness of those anyway). But this one is definitely from the heart, honest and worth watching! Coming from more of a man than those professional politician pencil pushers claiming to “serve the country” ever will be.
