"1. Unrestricted and equal suffrage for men and women.

2. The immediate adoption of the so-called "Susan B.
Anthony amendment" to the Constitution of the United States granting the suffrage to women on equal terms with men."

* What is the right energy policy for America?

Conservatives: Drill in the U.S. and offshore right now. Build refineries and nuclear power plants, mine, drill for natural gas. Cut federal gas tax. Do everything.

Liberals: Block drilling, mining, building of refineries and nuclear power plants with lawsuits and legislation. Wait for alternative fuels to come online somewhere in the future. Hope that the price of gas goes up more to drive down consumption. Make sure to inflate tires properly.

* What counts as experience to be president of the United States?

Conservatives: serving as a fighter pilot in the US Navy.

Liberals: being a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago

* What do you do if you realize you are pregnant with a Down syndrome baby?

Sarah Palin: Without question, have the baby and love it.

Liberal feminist: Having the baby is a choice.

* Pastors:

McCain: Dan Yeary, of the North Phoenix Baptist Church. Yeary is described in this report by Reuters reporter Ed Stoddard as "a folksy patriotic Southern Baptist who opposes abortion and believes homosexuality to be a biblical sin, but says Christians have an obligation to love such sinners."

Obama: Jeremiah Wright, of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, was Obama's pastor for twenty years until a falling out this year as Wright's controversial preachings received publicity. Among the more incendiary sermons was an admonition to "Goddamn America" and a description of America as "white America...the U.S. of KKKA" Wright faced accusations of racism and left-wing radicalism, the intensity of which, combined with Wright's unapologetic reaction, caused Obama to angrily leave his church. Wright had married the Obamas and baptized their children.
