Default Obama on killing babies

I'm pro-choice, but this is just crossing the line. I'd be curious to see how many pro-choice people out there support this kind of murder of innocent babies who are born alive?

I have no stand on the issue, it's "above my pay grade!"

Only Obama could be asked a question about one of hottest issues of the last 30 years and in effect say, "I don't have to answer that question" and is given a free pass in the days after.

Meantime the National Barrack Channel continues to be more concerned whether or not McCain was locked in isolation for the first 2 questions of the debate or if he was in his car.

I heard he kills babies in his basement and serves them for supper.

Get a new talking point, Fox News contributors.

I, too, am pro-choice. But if the columnist is right, and the nurse's tale of woe was not an isolated incident still searching for an explanation, then the practice of leaving a live baby alone, to die, with no one to love it, disgusts me and someone should be charged with a crime.

Whoa, let's not rush to judgment. You don't even know if the baby was Republican or Democrat.

It's all over the Internet. The case was what spurred the legislation and Obama voted against the legislation, even after the committee he served on added language that would protect Roe v. Wade. Identical legislation passed the U.S. Senate unanimously.

As usual, the only network running the story is FOX. I suspect this will blow up a bit more in the lead-up to the DNC and MSNBC will have no choice but to cover it at the last possible minute, kind of like Rev. Wright.

Interesting column. We all know politicians speak out of both sides of their mouths. We know McCain has, but it just seems that Obama contradicts himself quite a bit. Has he reverted to the "say anything to get elected" tactic?

Both of them have. For McCain supporters to call him out on it is a joke. Sure, my guy has robbed a bank but your guy has robbed two. Humorous really.

Republicans have been rolling the, "we are good because the opposite side is worse" for a looooooooong time.

Since 1988, I believe. Once Reagan left, Republicans dropped conservatism for, "anti-Democrat"ism. Talk radio and Fox News helped complete the transition.

Bob Barr doesn't believe in killing babies.

Democrats find their identity in their beliefs, ideas.

Republicans find their identity in dividing their world into two sides: good and evil. Then they define Democrats as the evil side, which allows them to define themselves as good without having to actually talk about themselves.

Dems don't do that. That's why they have Obama.

Repubs do that. That's how they ended up with McCain. He's a "default" candidate who drew into the 30% range, but won the nomination because Repubs just wanted it over.

Notice McCain's campaign is all about Obama?

Democrats don't do that? They stop just short of saying coorporations are evil and they get free handouts. We only care about the poor and middle class. Using class warfare isn't divisive?

And sure you'll think McCain ads are only about Obama if you only pay attention to stuff that supports your theory. I have seen numerous commercials by both candidates touting their own record. I have also seen numerous commercials by both candidates criticizing their opponents.

He probably can't remember Vietnam...


If he does, he'd probably have to get back with you after he checked with Bush's former advisor now running his campaign.

Buckpasser,

Did you hear Obama's new commercial today? He does an excellent job espousing democratic ideals and his own ideas via McCain's inability to know how many houses he owns.

I guess it's like you always say Democrats just rail on Republicans and don't actually stand for anything. Hold on, did I get that backwards?

The link is to an opinion piece, jack@$$. Obama said the law he was against would undermine Roe v. Wade and I take his word for it. "ACTIVIST JUDGES" on the right have tried their damndest to chip away at Roe v. Wade constantly and Obama was just "stickin'
to his guns" - I thought that was an admirable trait amongst people of minimal brain wave activity such as yourself.
