This article from Life News is in a separate thread by wagglebee. Perhaps it reveals a bit about this presidential candidate chosen for us by the elites.

..................................

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Presidential candidate John McCain addressed the debate over Terri Schiavo's euthanasia death but added little to his position other than to call the ordeal "very sad." His comments are the first since Barack Obama came under intense criticism saying he regretted supporting a bill to help her family prevent her ex-husband from killing her.

McCain addressed the debate over the disabled woman during a campaign stop last week the corporate headquarters of Chick-fil-A restaurant.

In a brief news conference following the event, Baptist Press reports that McCain called the entire situation relating to Terri "very sad" and a "great American tragedy."

"It's very sad when you see a situation such as this, it's very sad," McCain explained.

"I think just by looking at the situation it was a terrible situation and one that probably the state should have handled in retrospect," he added, according to Baptist Press. "[I]t was a very sad, sad situation and moved all of us who are -- and the plight of this situation moved every American."...................

Dobson frames the future direction of Christian leadership in terms of Terri...

.........................

With a generation of U.S. Christian right leaders dead or aging, the founder of the conservative evangelical group Focus on the Family says he's concerned about the movement's future leadership.

James Dobson told a group of Christian broadcasters Tuesday night that the passing of Jerry Falwell, the Rev. D. James Kennedy and Ruth Bell Graham represent the end of an era.

The radio talk show host noted that others like Billy Graham, Chuck Colson, Pat Robertson, and Chuck Swindoll will also soon pass from the scene, and questioned the impact on the conservative Christian church.

"It causes me to wonder who will be left to carry the banner when this generation of leaders is gone," Dobson told an audience of nearly 1,400 at the National Religious Broadcasters conference.

"The question is, Will the younger generation heed the call? Who will defend the unborn child in the years to come? Who will plead for the Terri Schiavos of the world? Who's going to fight for the institution of marriage, which is on the ropes today."

Schiavo died in 2005 after being removed from a feeding tube in a high-profile battle between the woman's husband and her parents and siblings.

Dobson's comments come as national groups like the Christian Coalition are struggling, and the organizational muscle of the movement now rests with local pastors, not national figures...........

Did you see that we also had some visitors on the thread that seem to think that Florida did the right thing executing Terri?

Barack Obama came under intense criticism saying he regretted supporting a bill to help her family prevent her ex-husband from killing her.

So, he supported hino killing her? Chalking up another mark against Hussein. Would someone please post how Washington voted on the bill, please.
