Taking a shot at Obama's now famous "above my pay grade" cop out on the question of when life begins, McCain concluded his message saying: "I can assure you that if I am president, advancing the cause of life will not be above my pay grade."

Why couldn't Bush ever say anything like this?

"Why couldn't Bush ever say anything like this? "

Bush thought his compassionate conservatism would win him favors from the Democrats, instead he has become the most slandered President in history.

See why Juan won’t pick Tom or Joe?

Abortion is one of those issues that Barack Hussein Obama looks like the cold bloodless marxist that he really is when it comes up - there’s no way to be more extreme on the issue than he is, and McCain should call him out on this.

Even decision to take a toilet break is above the chosen one’s pay grade.

He should also accuse Obama (accurately, I might add) of being a radical, marxist, gungrabbing, unqualified, d*ckweed.

Both his parents were pro abortion until Poppy was named for VP, after which he magically changed his tune. None of the Bushes ever much gave a damn about prolife issues.

Obama is way to the left even of most people who identify themselves as “pro-choice.” He’s very vulnerable on this issue.

Finally, McCain is saying what needs to be said. Hopefully, we’ll be hearing more talk like this at the GOP Convention.

The McCain Campaign should hit themes of Obama representing "Radical Change"

“Why couldn’t Bush ever say anything like this?”

Because President Bush wanted to go along to get along. What he failed to understand was that there are those who simply aren’t interested in getting along.

“I can assure you that if I am president, advancing the cause of life will not be above my pay grade.”

Good response. While I think it would be nice to have an ostensibly pro-creation President, I don’t think it’s going to matter much one way or the other. Life just isn’t much of an issue for the politicians. They’re much more interested in splitting up the goodies.

I continue to believe that we will not end infanticide through electoral politics. Which is not to say that legalized infanticide won’t end; I think it will and possibly in my lifetime. It just won’t be the result of anything the politicians do or say.
