Smalldeadanimals.com Wednesday, July 23, 2008New Stanek WND column, ''McCain and Viagra'' Carly Fiorina, former Hewlett-Packard CEO, has been touted as one of John McCain's potential vice-presidential picks. But on July 7, Fiorina exposed herself as either a political airhead or saboteur by handing pro-aborts a wider opening to attack McCain than they could possibly have fantasized.... Since early this year, NARAL has been sounding the alarm that its polling showed independents and pro-abortion Republicans have taken McCain's "maverick" reputation to mean he bucks his party's platform and is pro-abortion.

Both John McCain and Barack Obama have been peddling their spiritual wares lately. Mr. McCain recently made a high-profile pilgrimage to meet evangelist Billy Graham and his son Franklin, while that same week Mr. Obama endorsed the essence of President Bush’s faith-based service program. Now, both candidates have agreed to appear at a forum at the California megachurch of influential evangelical pastor Rick Warren.

This article reminded me of an incident that occurred many years ago.
Many here may consider me an extremely outspoken atheist, and I am, but I’ve mellowed over the years. There was a time when my car sported the magnetic bumper sticker, Religion is the Problem not the Solution, magnetic because the religious contrary to their rantings are not very tolerant, a keyed door panel convinced me it wasn’t prudent to have such in-your-face messages perma Onegoodmove.org Wednesday, July 23, 2008 1 2 Archived "society - Top Stories" opinions:
