Kristi's Sharebook 

Every election most Christians are duped into voting for the party who they have been brainwashed into believing represents moral values. This is a hoax.

What would America look like if the Republican leadership had it's way? There would be no middle class at all. The Republicans rail about keeping the government off the backs of people but what this really means is they want all regulations protecting worker's rights and the environment to be eliminated so that massive profits can be achieved at the expense of the working class.

Visit any Walmart in America and take a good look at their employees. They are the working POOR. Millions of good paying jobs have been outsourced because of SLAVE labor available in India and other third world countries. The Republicans want to abolish the Environmental Protection Agency. This is truly outrageous! All in the name of greed!

The Christian vote is controlled by a Republican promise of outlawing all abortions even though the Supreme Court made a decision in 1972 with Roe v. Wade that protected the basic reproductive rights of women while assuring that legal abortion  recognized the stages of development and set reasonable limits in the last two trimesters of pregnancy. Why is this still an issue? The Republicans figured out a way to attract and keep Christian voters by constantly trying to pass laws to erode a Supreme Court decision in hopes of one day staying in power long enough to pack the Court with narrow minded Justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade. It won't happen.

The Democrats stand behind ALL keeping familes together. Yes, sometimes this means families where the parents have come to this country many years ago by walking across the border. Immigration reform is needed to make the path of citizenship less expensive and lengthy. Yes, this also includes gay couples who are only trying to stay together as a family.

The Republicans also want to dictate WHICH people are truly Christians. They want the Morman vote but not a Morman candidate for President. This is why both Romney and Huntsman both Conservatives are begging for support within their own party. Wake Up Mormans! Harry Reid, a Morman, is both a Democrat and the Senate Majority Leader. Is the Republican Party really deserving of your support?

If the Republicans had not gained control of the House of Representatives in 2010, we would be out of this recession today. All they are concerned with is regaining the White House. In 2001, when George Bush took office we were arguing about what to do with the surplus. They gave us tax relief for the wealthy and massive debt by starting unnecessary wars.

If you are a millionaire and don't care about anyone but yourself, keep voting for Republicans. Everyone else, wake up before the America that we love disappears forever.
