@SpatzieLover Yes, I understand all that, but the Republicans can choose to focus on other statistics. See and believe what they prefer to see and believe. It’s just like Republicans focusing on what they feel were important economic issues, and the democrats focusing on women’s rights in the messages they were trying hardest to get through to the average people. Whether it is true that the Republicans would be misguided in looking at the popular vote being close is not the issue, I am only commenting on how they want to see it, to reinforce their already existing beliefs about the political issues.
A friend of mine wrote on her facebook (an actual friend of mine, not simply a facebook friend) that she is changing her profile pic to the Christian Flag and wrote ”...her focus should not be that she is an American but a citizen of Heaven…” something like that I will get the exact quote and edit, because I have been having trouble losing my posts when I close fluther and come back. I think she will be happy to believe anything that reinforces her belief that following her belief in God and what is right and how that translates to politics is actually valid and correct.
Ok, here is the whole quote:
Today I have changed my profile pic to the Christian Flag. As I was thinking about the election results from last night I realized that my focus should not be that I am an American, but that my citizenship is in Heaven. I am proud to be a Texan, grateful to be an American, but blessed beyond measure to be a child of THE KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS. It is Him I serve and I will put my trust in Him. His will alone will ultimately be accomplished. He will not disappoint, will always be trustworthy and faithful, and will always be holy. Nations will rise and fall but He will always remain on the throne. If you are disappointed, put your trust in the one who never disappoints and will guide you through any circumstance in life. Christians, it is time to stand up and be a reflection of the love of Christ and act out our faith.
what do you think about that? Do you think they care that many people in America think gay marriage is ok? Or, that there are a lot of Hispanics in the country now?
