Senator Barack Obama miserably failed the test concerning the foundational world view issue. Without the right to life, there are no other rights. Rights attach to persons and abortion kills little persons. Without the freedom to be born, there are no other freedoms. When Senator Obama was asked about the humanity of the child in the womb, he said that such a question was above his pay grade. Oh, he then blathered on about their being a moral and ethical dimension to the issue. However, he then stated unequivocally I am pro-choice, I believe in Roe v Wade. He mouthed something about reducing abortions 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.
Senator John McCain on the other hand, hit a home run in the eyes of people like me who insist that the issue of respecting the dignity of every human life from the womb to the tomb is not a single issue but rather a World View issue in Pastor Warrens terminology. The same question was posed to him, At what point is a baby entitled to human rights. John McCains answer came without any hesitation. Obviously such an incredibly important answer was not above his pay grade. He said it with conviction, From the moment of conception. He continued on by affirming to the Pastor, to all those assembled and to the thousands watching, that he has a 25 year record of being Pro-life and that he will be a Pro-life President...

That vapid “pay grade” answer comes straight from “Saving Grace”
Seriously I doubt that most conservatives would vote for Abraham Lincoln either.
Obama will make a Nice Vice President for Hillary, and I’m willing to bet even more democrats are thinking that way today.
Is is possible to have a thread mentioning Rick Warren that doesn't have some ignorant person say that he's the spawn of Satan?
They start with the pre-born, next will be the senior citizens once they become too expensive to maintain with paid health care and pensions. Eventually, we will have "Logan's Run".
Good point, I agree with you.
I seriously doubt you'd refrain from voting for Hillary Clinton if she switched to the Republcan party.
Too bad McCain doesn’t support protecting unborn persons from the “moment of conception.” He never has.
This is a farce.
He did name Kennedy.
Ginsberg, Breyer, Souter, Stevens
Thanks for reminding me of another good sci-fi flick.
I agree. Warren has invented a great new political format for races...and McCain shines in it.
Yeah. A couple of nice 40ish women were talking about her. You know how they are. So I shimmy in and say "Yup, and she still has trouble keeping her clothes on too." Heh.
You should read what the Neo-southern conservatives on these site routinely say about Lincoln.
Especially in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and northern Ohio.
I don't expect McCain to have a chance at the most Catholic states in the union (MA, RI, NJ, CT), only because the more upscale are CINOs, and the more downscale are employed by the state or just have a cultural hatred of Republicans in general (especially true in RI and MA, although they both elect Republican governors from time to time).
I also think FoxNews Channel will do re-runs.
Please post those ratings on other threads! Thanks!
Obama was insulting by challenging Thomas's intelligence.
