Editorial: At the Saddleback Forum, Senator McCain and Pastor Warren took the Gold

Catholic Online ^ | 8/17/08 | Deacon Keith Fournier

The first winner of the Gold for the evening was Pastor Rick Warren who presided over the forum with excellence. Next was Senator John McCain for affirming the truth of that the Right to Life attaches “From the moment of conception”.

Too bad there was little publicity about this program. I would liked to have watched.

You can watch. The video is here:

he said that such a question was “above his pay grade”

Senator Obama - when you're the President, there IS NO ONE ABOVE YOUR PAY GRADE. God this man is a scary little weasel.

I’ve been surprised by how many people didn’t know that B.O. supported infanticide. This is not a new story.

[StAnDeliver]

Say no more, my FRiend...

"I am pro-choice, I believe in Roe v Wade"

I hope the RNC is working on a commercial containing the “above my pay grade” answer.

You need to frequent Free Republic more often!
There was an announcement on Breaking News all day yesterday.
It's still up with over 2,000 posts and over 50,000 views.

If you go to CNN, you can catch all the video from the forum,
as well as some rich post-forum commentaries.

"but the utter clarity of the moment was the highlight of the evening. The pastor, this man of purpose, followed through with this question, ”Have you ever voted to limit abortions”? Barack Obama was, for the first time in my viewing, at a loss for words. Because the truth is now out there and he knew he could not lie about it."

So very well put.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Yeah. Its the Obama equivalent of “voted for it before I voted against it.”

Finally, Pastor Warren asked them a question concerning which sitting Supreme Court Justices that would NOT have recommended for appointment. It was a brilliant way of eliciting the stark contrast in their Judicial philosophy when most honest observers know that the next President will appoint at least two new Justices and that these appointments will either secure the infamy of the Roe and Doe decisions, the current regime of abortion on demand, or undo the wrong. Senator McCain again took the gold.

I got to see the end of the re-run early this a.m. on Fox News and was very impressed with McCain. I agree that he did very well. I am disappointed that this article didn't say which SCJ's he wouldn't have recommended for appointment. I'd like to know who he named. If anyone saw the forum, please tell....

Warren is going to fall fast because he is speaking at the DNC Denver Convention per another post here.

Warren’s softballs to obama and visible frustration at his missing them means he wanted “his man” to win in order to promote his chinese menu christianity.

Senator Obama - when you're the President, there IS NO ONE ABOVE YOUR PAY GRADE

The job, of President, Obama is applying for, is above his pay grade

[Not A Snowbird]

Ginsberg, Souter, and one other...

[Thank You Rush]

“”that this article didn’t say which SCJ’s he wouldn’t have recommended for appointment. I’d like to know who he named. If anyone saw the forum, please tell....””

McCain named all the liberals.
Obama hesitated a teensy bit and named Clarence Thomas.

[Beagle8U]

McCain listed all the lefties except Kennedy.

[Not A Snowbird]

The candidates were asked the same questions.

I know Rick Warren, and he didn’t look frustrated to me at all. He did have a “what the heck are you saying” look a few times, but that’s all I saw.

Mr. Obama is a typical new-age secularist. I doubt very much that he really believes in God. The only reason he was a member of any church was to solidify his black identity.

He certainly doesn't believe in God as the Creator, Lawgiver, and Ruler of the Universe.
