"Senator Obama wants the big mean government to tell you what to do blah blah blah government has grown etc etc etc"

Yeah, maybe the agencies that have emerged in the post 9/11 erosion of rights have swelled it, but that's it.

Idiology? Dude....really? Is that a common way of saying that word, or is this another insult thrown his way?

Yes! Yes! YES! After McCain spent a few paragraphs trying to weasel out of answering the question, he finally said that he would not support a Judge who would support Roe v. Wade. Obama even smiled at that.

Apparently, McCain's maverick style extends to his speech.

It's an almost unheard-of variant but is recognized by Merriam-Webster as being a legit pronunciation.

Wow, blatant double standard for McDouche. "I don't approve of appointing someone based on ideology and would only appoint them based on qualifications, but I think Roe Vs Wade support would be apart of their qualifications?" :wtf:

McCain: damn, what else from his record can I throw his way and hope he doesn't remember about it.

What's with the "Pro-Abortion?" That's pretty different than Pro-Choice...

Good on Obama: "No one is for abortion".

I'm so sick of the "pro-life" movement making the "pro-choice" movement sound like they are in favor of people having abortions. That sort of rhetoric curdles the mind. The argument is choice, not "abortions, hurray!"
