Our nation must remain as "ONE NATION UNDER GOD", with moral and christian principles that founded this country. The Democratic Party has become the immoral party in our nation. They support abortion rights to murder thousands of unborn babies, they believe in gay rights such as marriage between same sex couples. This is totally against God's law and very immoral, not only is it against God's law but it destroys family values as well. Marriage was saction by God between one man and one woman. God help our nation if we Americans allow a far-out liberal like John Kerry to become president of our nation. In the Holy Bible in proverbs 14:34, it states "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people". We must return to our christian hertiage and moral values in this country if we as a nation are going to survive and be blessed by our God that our nation will be strong and properous as a people. The immoral party wants to seperate church from state, for they already have destroyed the viewing and placement of the Ten Commandments, which we received from God our common law to live by. They have become a party of liberalism and socialism, along with having the Communist party supporting them this year to get rid of our president, who is a very righteous and moral man who seeks our God and giving him guidance for leading our nation in the right paths. We should be praying for Him and our nation instead of running Him down. If we trust in God like our money reads, He will make a way of escape for us in this time of trouble. May God truly bless our president and our nation once again!

A faithful patroit

As a Catholic with strong pro life convictions I understand what your saying bit I must disagree. Our country has strong Christian roots but our government does not and should not. Our Constitution recognizes freedom of religion and separation of church and state. Starting from the Pilgrims, America became a land where many immigrants came to seek freedom from governments that interfered in their faith. Even today many of the immigrants from former Soviet Republics that have recently moved to America are evangelists who were finally free to move to a land that does not sanction them for their faith. For our government to openly adopt or reflect Christian law would infringe on the rights of Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and people of other faiths that have as much a right to live here as you or I. The Democrats do have problems, and yes they could be called immoral in the ways you mentioned, Kerry doesn't support gay marriage though. As a resident of Massachusetts I have seen gay marriage in action, and it does not even have much support here, but it also hasnt caused much upheavel. There's no tried method to make a gay person stop being gay, and there's fewer reasons to prevent them from getting legal rights. In two years we'll have our chance to vote on it, long overdue, but by then it will be evident what damage it has or has not done. There is a very big difference between liberalism and socialism and the Democrats certainly do not embrace the latter. And there is an even larger gap between socialism and communism believe it or not but that's not as important.

In Florida, Republicans win first election showdown of the …

Republican David Jolly speaks during a candidate forum in Clearwater, Florida, on February 25.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

St. Petersburg, Florida (CNN) -- In the first major ballot box test of 2014, the GOP won.

Republican David Jolly edged out Democrat Alex Sink to win Tuesday's special election in Florida's 13th Congressional District. Jolly will fill out the term of his former boss, Republican Rep. Bill Young, who died in October. Young, first elected to Congress in 1970, was the longest-serving Republican in the House.

With national Republicans framing the race as a referendum on Obamacare and a massive infusion of outside ad money to try to influence the outcome, pundits have looked to the Florida race as a bellwether for November's midterm elections.

Special coverage: 2014 midterm elections

But Jolly didn't mention the health care law in his victory speech and instead said, "This race is not about defending a broken agenda in Washington or advancing a broken agenda in Washington. This race is about defending Pinellas County and serving the people right here in our own community."

Sink, the state's former chief financial officer who narrowly lost the 2010 gubernatorial election, said in a concession statement, "While tonight was not the result we were hoping for, I am proud of the race we have run and so grateful for the countless Pinellas residents, volunteers and supporters who put their faith in our campaign."

Swing district in swing state

Jolly won 48.5% of the vote, and Sink got just under 47%. Libertarian candidate Lucas Overby was a distant third, with just under 5% of the ballots cast.

Republicans Seek to Block IRS Rule in Ukraine Aid Package

Republicans in Congress want to add language to a U.S. aid plan for Ukraine that would block a proposed IRS rule curbing political activity by tax-exempt groups, Senator Bob Corker said today.

Corker, the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said the proposed Internal Revenue Service measure was one of the unresolved issues facing lawmakers working to complete a Ukraine aid package in time for the panel to consider it tomorrow.

The other was whether to add a boost in International Monetary Fund resources that President Barack Obamas administration has requested, Corker said.

Everything else is in good shape, the Tennessee senator said. The package relative to Ukraine itself is, I think, in good shape.

Republicans are reviving a failed effort earlier this year to link language delaying the proposed IRS rule with the IMF funding increase. Both provisions eventually were dropped from legislation to fund the U.S. government through Sept. 30.

The House today approved, on a 402-7 vote, a non-binding resolution calling for sanctions against Russian officials and state-owned banks in response to what the measure calls a violation of Ukraines sovereignty.

The Senate also unanimously passed a resolution, S.Res. 378, condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans say the proposed IRS rule would wrongly suppress free speech. It could limit political spending by outside groups that receive tax exemptions as non-profit social welfare organizations.

The House on Feb. 26 passed legislation, which Obama has threatened to veto, that would delay that rule for a year.

John Koskinen, the IRS commissioner, told a House subcommittee the same day that the chances of completing the rule before this Novembers election were fairly slim. He said the agency will hold a public hearing and may solicit more comments.
