I love the ABC news interview. Her foreign policy extent is going to Canada and Mexico. Oh dont foget Russia is in eye sight just off of an Alaskin island where she has been.

I wont bagger her about her about the RNC and “FAMILY VALUES” since her daughter is knocked up but maybe a little sex education would have helped her or maybe a rubber. It all seems so funny to me that God truely does have a sense of humor.

The ABC interview showed that Palin is little more than a puppet. I wonder why her name isnt at the top of the RNC ticket instead of Mcain. Oh maybe because he is one fart away from a brain infarct and she will assume the helm.

I cant wait for the debates. Ill leave it at that….Bridge to nowhere my ass. Its going somewhere…..

In an Address to the Diplomatic Corps at the Vatican on January 13, 2003, the Pope declared that “War is never just another means that one can choose to employ for settling differences between nations” and reiterated that “war cannot be decided upon . . . except as the very last option and in accordance with very strict conditions.”

Pope John Paul did not drop his opposition to the war once it had started. On June 4, 2004, in an Address to President Bush (who was visiting him at the Vatican ), the Pope reminded the President that:

“You are very familiar with the unequivocal position of the Holy See in this regard, expressed in numerous documents, through direct and indirect contacts, and in the many diplomatic efforts which have been made since you visited me, first at Castelgandolfo on 23 July 2001, and again in this Apostolic Palace on 28 May 2002.”

So it’s clear that the Catholic Church has condemned the actions the US has engaged in in Iraq . This war is morally wrong.

We, as good Catholics, should all agree that abortion AND war (and I would go along with the Council of American Bishops and add the death penalty to that list) are morally wrong. We should all be trying with all our soul to end both.

So, we as good Catholics are faced with a challenge: neither candidate fits the bill on the very important issue of safeguarding human life. Both fail the litmus test in some specific way. Now what?

Let’s consider what a President can and cannot affect while in office. Thanks to our Constitutional separation of powers, the President has no authority to overturn a Supreme Court decision. Therefore, he cannot outlaw abortion (and, let’s face it, if it was due to your disdain of Roe v Wade that you voted for W in the first place, then you must be REALLY disappointed by now). So, neither president can do much to change the abortion law (because if the conservatives could have done something about it, wouldn’t they have done it by now??). BUT, as the Commander-in-Chief, the President CAN snap his fingers and end the war in Iraq . Just like that. He doesn’t even need Congress – just a pen and a commitment to human life . . .

So, our prospects are: 1) with McCain, continued access to legal abortions AND continued killing in a war the Vatican has condemned or 2) with Obama, continued access to legal abortions BUT no more killing in a war the Vatican has condemned. With that in mind – as a Catholic, I think it’s morally wrong to vote for McCain

Without checking, I think it was around 50. I’ll try to go back and see if I can find it.
