Simon is certainly not a puppet, as being a Black Republican is rarer than hen’s teeth. Mr. Simon’s views are more like mine than Ms. Ausley (who I voted for in the past). This year I will again vote for who I deem the best candidate – looks like Corey Simon is getting another vote.
Thank you for this very good summary article.

@Edward — I understood. I was just trying to point out that some positions have no room for compromise. The pro-life position, based on the belief that abortion takes a human life, is one of them. To compromise means to accept and allow the taking of an innocent life.

Ironically, those on the other side are largely the same folks that are against the death penalty and argue that there’s always a chance that the condemned is innocent. Hmmm…. They literally argue that killing the innocent for convenience is OK while simultaneously argue against killing those that kill others.

We should be charitable and respectful in our comments and not allow a candidate’s outward appearance have any association to how we vote. It’s the honorable and American thing to do.
That being said I have often wondered if our outward appearance changes by what we put into our bodies and minds. We all know the look of long time meth users and that is not the case here in this political race.
But what could a long term mental indoctrination of leftist concepts such as the nice word for infanticide AKA abortion and the indoctrination of Bibilical abominations related to men laying with men, along with almost all leftist concepts and things they support, do to a person’s outward apperance?
I feel what you put into your mind and body can, and in many individuals does, show up to the astute observer in your outward appearance.
Circling back to my first statements in the beginning paragraph: Have you noticed how one of the candidates holds a strong resemblance to those witches in the Shrek III movie in which the main villain was Rumpelstiltskin?
Who are you going to vote for?

OT – I hope Rep. Allison Tant has her husband, Barry Richards, sue Sean Pittman and Nick Maddox for their campaign faux pas.

Same old tired rhetoric.
Tired of both parties.
Get out of the cities.
Homeschool your kids.

Corey Simon is one of the finest people you will ever meet. He is thoughtful, respectful, and will never ever make a mockery of being an elected member of government, unlike Ms. Ausley who thought it clever, funny, and worth sharing a video of her skipping with two other members of the Democrat caucus in the State Capitol rotunda singing “Gay, gay, gay.”

She misrepresented the Parental Rights in Education bill, as did nearly all Dems and the MSM.

I could not help but notice one of her campaign ads seemingly promoting kids, public ed, etc. while the children in her ad were from a local private school. There is an exodus from public schools and, locally we know why, Corey is correct on vouchers. Ausley wants to protect the status quo which is failing our kids.

@ Skeptic… Ironically, I believe you may have missed my point about the “immovable extremes”, while making it at the same time. We will never be able to move forward on an issue – in any direction – if we are immovable. Therefore, and sadly, the entire tragic issue shall remain nothing more than a political campaign tool. So long as either side views a given issue as having value to their respective campaign, we will never be able to have an honest discussion about a solution to said issue. For the record, I am registered NPA and strongly pro life.

Anyone who wants to share in the heartache of countless women who have had an abortion and who have, in many instances, been grieving for decades should visit silentnomoreawareness.org. (If you just type in “silent no more”, the site will come up)

Anyone who wants to share in the joy of parents adopting newborn babies should watch “covenant care adoption videos” on YouTube.

Barb, of course adoption is an option, but those who’ve adopted kiddos know that the circumstances of a child’s birth is part of who they are. A rape survivor might decide to place the child, which that child will question about their love for them too IF the birthmother had no choice but to give them birth. The route of adoption isn’t enough for a mother to not abort if they don’t have a choice whether or not to carry the child. It is also not enough for the child to fell their birth mother’s love and good things for the child if placed for adoption. (And you do know that rapists still have parental rights in Florida, so adoption would not be possible without the rapist’s consent, and still in FL the rapist (remember that most rapists are not charged or convicted) can petition for visitation etc.) It IS THE continuing CHOICE that allows survivors to lovingly raise the child in such circumstances, or to risk having to interact with their rapist or their rapist having contact with their child in placing the child. It is having the choice that results in the best life possible for the child in tough circumstances. Those who want to decide for them just do not know the harm they do to both the survivor and the child.

Lots going on here….

@Disgusted — The party does not put out ads targeting a specific opponent in a specific race without the candidate’s express knowledge and consent. The party may have put the ad out, but she had to OK it.

@Edward — “Immovable extremes”. One side believes that a human life is at stake, not a potential human life. Therefore, killing that baby is wrong. To those of us on the pro-life side if the left wants a life, take that of the rapist, not an innocent child. The extreme on the other end claims that killing the child for convenience is perfectly fine. What’s next? Killing a 4 year old because potty training has failed?

@Lena — that tired old mantra goes nowhere here. The Democrats are the party of slavery. They fought hard to maintain it for more than a century. They gave us the KKK. They gave us public lynchings of blacks. They fought against equal rights for blacks. When rights were granted they imposed the LBJ policies that have destroyed the black family. They continue to push for affirmative action to reinforce the “blacks aren’t capable” mantra. etc., etc., etc. Come out of the dark and see what your party is peddling….
