Kerry pulling the same graceful answer on right to life and now the church's criticism. NIce. I'm a president that happens to be Catholic.

I'm of the opinion that churches that use the pulpit as a political platform should have their tax-exempt status revoked, no questions asked.

Wow, these questions are a lot more specific and slicing than before...

You're right, I can see exactly why Kerry did that, but, with me being an atheist I wish he had not done it for my own sake.

I can understand that, however has a Christian, I can only think it helped him. I'm clearly biased that way however...

When Bush was asked abou how he would deal with overseas outsourcing, he basically said "Go back to school and get a new job." Thats it, they should just go back school... :shock:

Did Bush even come close to answering the question about how to pay for his social security plan?

Kerry is absolutely right. I'm paying for my dad's benefits and my daughter will be paying for mine. That is a fundamental truth about Social Security.

Oh, PLEASE. Not cutting taxes in 2001 certainly would not have fucking "saved Social Security until 2075". What a load of bullshit.

How do you see immgration, A, B, or C?

All of the above. I kinda agree with him. Something has to be done, it's not just people willing to work coming over, it's drugs, guns and slaves. It has to be stopped.
