What are you smoking? Thousands of loving couples adopt every year. In many cases it is because they can't have children of their own. There is a shortage of babies available for these loving couples so many have to go outside the country to adopt.

You must have got confused. Did you mean abandoned, orphaned children? That I will agree with. Older children have a very difficult time being adopted. It is real sad.

How can a baby being adopted and raised by a loving couple just glad to have a baby even if it is not blood related be worse than being killed in the womb? Tell me you were confused and not just ignorant. Please!

So the "put them out of their misery" works for you?

Wow, that wins the award for worst post I have ever saw on any board ever. Your even at No. 2 with your having babies so they could be dead soliders post.

You win the award for the most heartless person on this board, but then again you have a lot of company and they are all obama trots.

So you would rather have them killed then give them HOPE. Guess Obamas HOPE idea is another lie!

By the way, just to prove you wrong as usual here is a Warren quote to show that Obama had the advantage and still sucked.



WARREN: Actually, yes, I did. There was actually a question I got to Senator Obama in advance that I didn't get to Senator McCain because he wasn't there. I actually wrote down on a piece of paper the very first question, because I wanted them both to be relaxed. I said here's the very first question. I gave it to both of them to ask that. But I also told Senator Obama, since there was one question where I was going to ask for a commitment, it was the commitment later about would you allow a PEPFAR type president's emergency plan for orphans, and I thought if I was going to ask them for a public commitment, I ought to let him know in advance. I got to tell Barack Obama that in advance. I did not get to tell John McCain that in advance. It caught him by surprise, I'm sure.

Wow, an honest statement! You do realize that Dumbo's pos natural father abandoned him, right? His "second" father adopted poor Barry even though he was born out of wedlock. Is it any wonder Dumbo has so many psychological problems and runs to the "wrong kind"? Perhaps you're right, he should have been aborted.

That is exactly what was the purpose in the program, to allow each candidate to have his say and let people make their choice. That being said there should be no problem or complaints for either side. Time to grow up guys.
Thank you, I missed the interview. Is there a transcript? Can you please post a link? If the Pastor knew Senator McCain was running late, that should be sufficient to explain that the Pastor knew the audiences expectation of the billing "cone of Silence" wasn't what it was projected to be. Do you think the audience knew the Senator was running late?
I certainly didn't hear the reporters announce this. Why do you believe the Pastor didn't make a note of it to the National Audience. Certainly Senator McCain could have said "sorry, I was running a bit late". This single statement would have alleviated much of the expectation of the audience.
