2. Ana,
Just a little friendly advice.
A dozen pointless posts don't add up to 1 good one.

4. I think McCain is just trying to keep up with Al Gore. You can't fault a guy for that, can you? And Bob, Ana also needs a photo that doesn't look like Cenk. Trying to keep those production costs down, I guess. Look what happened to Air America. Poof. (Liberalism - the wave of the future. Sort of.)

6. Retraction due to finding out Gore invented the Blackberry.
Meanwhile, back to the Presidential race. There is one going on Ana, really.
Obama's disgraceful record on abortion. Obama enabled infanticide while in the Illinois legislature and has been dissembling about it.
David Freddoso, author of the excellent new book, "The Case Against Barack Obama," points out that Obama has repeatedly made the false claim that he only spoke out against an Illinois bill that would have recognized premature abortion survivors as "persons" because it would have negatively affected Roe v. Wade. Yet "every single version of the bill was neutral on Roe. Each one affected only babies already born, not ones in the womb."
Obama's own words, circulating in transcript form and on YouTube, are even more incriminating, as he articulates his opposition to the bill seeking to protect a baby born alive as a result of a botched abortion. "Essentially, adding an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion."
Translation: Obama will not theoretically burden a woman's right to abort her child, but he will actually burden an already-born infant's chances of surviving.
Obama is so slavishly obedient to the abortion lobby's cultish protection of a woman's right to terminate her own offspring's life, that he opposed measures designed to protect an already-born baby's chances to survive. And you wonder why we say pro-abortion liberals have made abortion a ritualistic religious sacrament!
Some have raised the question, "Are you suggesting Barack Obama wants babies to die? "
Yes, Bob. Barack Obama was the only member of the Illinois Senate to speak against a bill that would have granted legal protection to already-born babies still alive after a failed abortion. He used his power to prevent those innocent babies from having the best chance to survive. The evidence speaks for itself. It doesn't get much colder than that.
The "Born Alive Law" is now in the books at the Federal Level and in the Illinois State Law Books, but no thanks to Obama who did eveything he could to block the Illinois born alive law for becomming law.
