#1 Either way, by pleasing his leftist base or by pleasing his conservative non-base, Obama will be up to his ass in alligators.

#2 Good luck Bishops. Here is an example of a true maverick among your competition:

Conservative Jewish actor, writer, economist, and lawyer Benjamin Stein (of "Win Ben Stein's Money" on the Comedy Channel), strongly anti-abortion, said recently:

...I had to feel some respect for those who -- like John Brown -- will go to any lengths to stop abortion. Murder, never. But picketing, demonstrating -- I am not part of their group but I respect them. [The American Spectator, July 1998, p. 56]

#4 ...Interesting to compare the attitude of these bishops to the ones 37 years ago, who claimed that because I was working with nuclear weapons in SAC, I was committing a mortal sin - and furthermore, that I should ignore any orders to defend my country with such weapons. Glad to see they found at least a couple of vertebrae.

#5 " she said the Faithful Citizenship document made it clear that while the rights of an unborn child are a priority voters should consider a whole range of issues regarding the preservation and quality of life."

COMPLETELY incorrect.

Cardinal Francis George "too many Americans have no recognition of the fact that children continue to be killed [by abortion], and we live therefore, in a country drenched in blood. This can't be something you start playing off pragmatically against other issues."

Archbishop Chaput: The truth is that for some Catholics, the abortion issue has never been a comfortable cause. It's embarrassing. It's not the kind of social justice they like to talk about. It interferes with their natural political alliances. And because the homicides involved in abortion are ''little murders'' - the kind of private, legally protected murders that kill conveniently unseen lives - it's easy to look the other way.

The blood is on YOUR hands Sister.

#7 Damn, just when things were going so well. A "rubber meets the road" pic would be appropriate.

#8 So what happened to your flock in New Mexico Bishops?

The lure of the gimme's was too strong! Selfish self interest wins out every time.
