    Well of course not, you will have to find some crack for him to weasel out of. Its too bad they killed the one from the illinois senate with the votes, and the mention of PROOF that the bill was re written to contain IDENTICAL language of the federal bill, I"ll find it. You've got me spun up now.:grin:

    I like to think Jesus would be enough of an independent thinker to vote his conscience, and not the way some corrupt union leader told him to.

    :hihi: Its a Ron Paul bumper sticker, not an Obama one.

    Not everything is black and white and a lot of these bills encompass quite a lot. If you pretty much agree with 99% of a bill and strongly oppose 1% of it and vote against it, your vote can be used to say that you voted against the 99% of things you believe in.

    I'm saying Jesus wouldn't condone your divisive attitude. I'm not in favor of abortion except in extreme cases, but I think it is very hard to define life. As we live in a democracy founded on the separation of church and state, I don't see any way around the necessity of defining life through science, not religion.

    I'd run as a pro-life candidate, but we can't simply impose our view on the large number of pro-choicer's out there (the majority of whom aren't blood-thirsty abortionists). Compromises must be made as we work toward the best solution.

    That last sentence went over my head.

    I think I distrust Republicans a little more than I distrust Democrats at this point, but I'm a registered Republican with independent tendencies. I favor Obama because I believe he is more open minded and less apt to overextend us around the globe. I also believe he'll play nice with the world, whereas McCain will continue the pugilistic platform of Bush.

    Honestly, I doubt I agree with Obama on the abortion issue, but I don't think he is an extreme abortionist who is unwilling to hear what both sides of the argument have to say. Not a knock on you, but I don't care enough to check your facts. I just don't think Jesus would favor McCain over Obama.

    Alas, the abandonment of babies to suffer and die on the modern equivalent of a Spartan cliff did not require confronting evil. Indeed, Obama led the battle to defeat Illinois' version of the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which would have treated babies living, albeit briefly, outside the womb as, well, babies. He opposed the bill in 2003 (as he had a similar one in 2001), saying it would undermine Roe vs. Wade. But even after Roe-neutral language was included -- wording good enough that it won support for the federal version of the bill from abortion-rights stalwart Sen. Barbara Boxer -- Obama remained unmoved.
    Until this week, Obama denied that he ever took such a position. His campaign has now admitted that he was, in effect, lying when he said pro-lifers were lying about his record. But simultaneously, Obama defends a position that comes dismayingly close to the layman's understanding of infanticide while claiming any other position would require him to play God.

    In 2005 when he left the Senate these are the editions that he sought out in the previous bills. That he didnt get a chance to vote on.


    But if you find the bills(state and us) that say the exact samething and his vote on it. I will concede the argument to you. Scouts honor:thumb:

    Still wasnt the language that he sought out in the bill. I dont agree with opposing the bill, however, he didnt vote on it the lst time it past. which was 2005.
