Perhaps this group should also show pictures of women who have been raped and beaten, because this group (and McCain/Palin) would force that women who was brutalized to carry the fetus to term.
Perhaps this group should show pictures of women who have undergone excruciating pregnancies and have died or become horribly disfigured as a result.
Perhaps this group should show pictures of the grossly disfigured children that are born and suffer inhumane pain for a few short hours on this earth, when they have no choice but to go through a horrible, painful death.
These people need to show the whole picture. Even though they aren't touting this as a religious charade, don't kid yourself. That's all it is. Either that, or this group is horribly ignorant of the big picture.
TJG - Looks like she's been there more than a "couple of times." (And what a relief to find out she's been overseas once!) Turns out she's big into earmarks -- the same earmarks she, as a supposed "reformer," is against. Large amounts of money for her small little town compared to its population. This is just the tip of the iceberg. McCain didn't vet her well. Say what you want, but moderate Rs are shaking in their boots right now. Those at the RNC are putting on a happy face, but they're nervous as hell, too.
As for McCain dying in office, you assume she will have years of experience as VP (all while having significant familial distractions). I'm not willing to take a chance on that one.
In the end, I think McCain's decision to pick Palin will go down as either the greatest decision in election history (in terms of risk), or the dumbest. My vote is on the latter.
Don't be ignorant, you say? McCain has had 4 -- count 'em, 4 -- bouts with melanoma. Somehow I don't want to put the former mayor of a two-bit Alaskan town and governor of a state with roughly 1/4 the size of Kansas a heartbeat away. And I bet Palin hadn't even been to Washington before this.
You can't even begin to compare her experience with Obama's. If you want to argue that her experience, education, etc., qualify her for the job, then just about anyone who's graduated with a J-school degree from KU and worked about 10 years would qualify, self included.
Letter: No such thing as 'gay blood'
todd1007, your response is one of the most immature and intellectually vacant rants i've seen in some time.

I don't think so.
