Bottom line: the coming general election will feature two undesirable candidates. One, with a dangerous ideology and religion; the other a muddled fence straggler, who endorses the mistakes of the Bush administration at his own peril, and cannot find any new ideas which gain any traction with the American public?
Good luck with that!

MISS LIABILITY
Re: The Prowler's A Huge
Embarrassment:
The Prowler's assessment of Nancy Pelosi being a liability for Democrats mirrors what a lot of us have thought for a long time. Aside from her ability to apply bare-knuckled tactics in order to flex her political muscle, she is a real lightweight when dealing with complicated issues.
Now we discover Nan is a self-proclaimed church historian and spokesman for the Catholic Church, another job for which she spectacularly unqualified. Pope Nancy appeared on Meet the Press after the "Saddleback Showdown" and made a complete ass of herself as she waded into theological waters way beyond her depth - that would be about 2 inches. She tried to explain the doctrinal positions of the Catholic Church on when life begins and the morality of abortion by stammering and stumbling from one disjointed point to another. The nonsensical gibberish she spouted demonstrates just what an amateur she is. I know why Democrats think Obama is "thoughtful and nuanced" because compared to Madame Speaker, he comes across as a genius of the first rank. It is astounding to me how this nimrod has any standing whatsoever in Congress or how she could have even been elected in the first place. She can scarcely utter a coherent sentence, yet she is third in succession to the Presidency!
Having once been a practicing Catholic myself, I couldn't
believe my ears when I heard her remarks. Despite claiming to be an
"ardent Catholic," everything she said is the polar opposite of the
Catholic Church's well-documented views on these issues. Pelosi is
either completely ignorant of Catholic teaching or she is an
unabashed liar. If her performance in this interview wasn't so
pathetic, it would be laughable beyond measure.

Please allow me to break one of my cardinal rules in life. I try not to go completely overboard in my public writings or utterances about anyone with whom I totally and completely disagree. I would appreciate being allowed an exception in the case of Nancy Pelosi.
There are stupid people in public life in America. There are
evil people in public life in America. There are vicious people in
public life in America. There are dangerous people in public life
in America. Nancy Pelosi has achieved the monumental feat of
combining all four in one person....

In reference to the above-mentioned article, I include this
link. I am a Catholic, and I am not a supporter of Ms.
Speaker. However, what she said it is not wrong. At this moment the
Church places the beginning of human life at conception, but the
history of the church shows otherwise. Ms. Speaker did not move
herself not even an inch from the teachings of the church.

Nancy Pelosi is not just a huge embarrassment to the Demockacrats, she's a HUGE embarrassment to the American people.
And she's demonstrated that she, like Barack H. Obama -- or
Barry Soetoro, or Barry Dunham, or whatever his real name might be
-- is intellectually vacant, morally anchorless and
megalomaniac.

EXTREME MEASURES
Re: Daniel Allott's Pro-Life
Democrats Need Not Apply:
Mr. Allott concludes his column thusly: "Could it be that the Democratic Party's abortion position has become even more extreme than that of the most pro-abortion presidential candidate ever?"
No, Sir, the Democrat Party platform is simply more honest than the public statements of its nominee for the highest political office in America. The Obamasiah, like Bill Clinton, can not open his mouth without a lie coming out. The only difference between the two is the subject of most of the lies.
As a conservative who deplores the nomination of John McCain, I
find the prospect of Obama in the White House indeed scary. Bill
Clinton in the White House was a shame, a mistake, and the country
deserved better, but he was NOT scary. Heck, he was too occupied
with chasing...um, skirts to be scary regarding the very existence
of America as the country that it was. I have finally become
concerned enough about the very existence of America as a free
democratic republic to decide that I will need to vote against the
Marxist Obama by pulling the lever for my nemesis, John McCain,
instead of not voting in the upcoming POTUS contest, as I had
planned.

The Democrats say Obamacare opponents are a mob. Are they right?
