Cleveland, OH (LifeNews.com) -- Senator Barack Obama debated his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night and said his biggest mistake was voting to help save Terri Schiavo. Terri is the disabled Florida woman whose husband won the legal right to starve her to death.

So in other words. He would denounce a white racist antisemite if he had to, but since he doesn’t have to...
Don’t ask don’t tell.
I’ve never encountered another individual who I liked more on a personal impression basis and hated more for his positions on morals issues. Take the others, say like Nancy Pelousi, Kerry, or Ted Kennedy — I can’t stand them personally either.
G-d help us!
I’m going to stick to my love of Jesus Christ. I’m really not a good political watcher.
But I’m telling you, I saw this same let me have it your way spirit in Deval Patrick.
It reminds of these verses
23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
We are entering the last act my friend. I’m not saying that the Obama Nation is the last act. I’m just saying that we are entering the last act.
That’s my story and I’m stickin to it.
Yes, as you may know from other threads, I don’t disagree with that interpretation.
And I don’t mean “hate” in the Biblical sense, but I do find his positions terribly repulsive.
I do not believe that is correct.
I do not believe from what I heard (or what his track record indicates) that he voted in favor of Terri Schiavo. After all, look at this:

I believe that he actually said that his regret is that he did not lead on the floor and use procedural technicalities, in order to stop Congress from trying to help Terri Schiavo.
Maybe we should both listen again.
Yup, and I agree. Congress should not have gotten involved. Here’s the transcript:
RUSSERT: Senator Obama, any statements or vote you’d like to take back?
OBAMA: Well, you know, when I first arrived in the Senate that first year, we had a situation surrounding Terri Schiavo. And I remember how we adjourned with a unanimous agreement that eventually allowed Congress to interject itself into that decision making process of the families.
It wasn’t something I was comfortable with, but it was not something that I stood on the floor and stopped. And I think that was a mistake, and I think the American people understood that that was a mistake. And as a constitutional law professor, I knew better.
And so that’s an example I think of where inaction...
RUSSERT: This is the young woman with the feeding tube...
OBAMA: That’s exactly right.
RUSSERT: ... and the family disagreed as to whether it should be removed or not.
OBAMA: And I think that’s an example of inaction, and sometimes that can be as costly as action.
Yeah that wasn’t adding up to me at all. No sale.
Did anyone catch his line, “Exxon-Mobil made $11 BIL last year. It’s not going to be easy taking back some of the profit.” (Something like that.)
Just showing his true colors. Bastard.
The United States Constitution was signed in 1789, but the United States Charter was signed in 1776. It properly observes that our United States owes observance to the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God — and to our Creator endowed Right to Life.
If Congress has no place to protect the Right to Life, it has no foundation.
Did you pay attention to the debate? He denounced Farahkan.
and I applaud Obama on his new opinion Congress’s role in the Schiavo case, which is based on constitutional law.
If he denounced Farrakhan, he better watch his back. Malcolm X didn’t make out so well after doing that.
Farrakhan has called him the next black messiah. Does he denounce that too?
Farrakhan does not just throw out endorsements. He vets his candidates.
He did denounce Farrakhan — after he was forced to by Farrakhan’s controversial endorsement. How timely, considering his church’s Trumpet magazine gave Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award — last November.
I just noticed the TUCC.org web site has no link or reference to Trumpet magazine — and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is retiring in early March.
How convenient.
What constitution? Obviously not The United States Constitution. It has protections for people against what was done to Terri Schiavo. Failure to recognize her rights does not make her government imposed murder magically constitutional.
“and he expects us to think he’s not a liberal”
obama is counting on suckers, fools and a protective media that hides his liberalism for his victory.
see my tagline.
also note that hillary simply could not respond to his answer “why yes, you really are a super liberal and here’s why...”
The idea that keeping seriously ill people alive was against the basic principles of nature, paved the way for the ultimate euthanasia program: the genocide of the Jewish people.
This is why I continue to call the Democrats "DemonRATs."
