Durrr?

I am pretty sure the Catholic position on gay marriage is pretty well known in America. So I would hope you would have caught that.

American partisan politics feel faker than pro wrestling, and about as relevant and intellectually-stimulating.
Heh, no.

I guess you haven't read many of the divisive postings by some democrats on CD lately then. It works both ways. Many are saying that the republicans are sore losers and that's true for many. Judging from many of the postings on CD, there are lots of sore winners out there who are being totally obnoxious about the fact that Obama won. I bet even Obama would be ashamed of these antics as they demonstrate a lack of class.

It just so happens that most democrats that run for office are anti-life, so I could never bring myself to support such an issue. I wouldn't even think Obama would be that bad of a president if he was pro-life, I'd probably even consider voting for him. But the life issue is too big for me.

Not to say I'm satisfied with the 'conservatives' we put up. Many of them are phony. John McCain himself used to be anti-life.
Oh please!!!

"Anti life" LOL!!! It is pro choice!

Why do you base your vote on pro life issues? No president will ever ban abortion even if he/she is pro life. It will never go away. Might as well vote on other more important things that can be helped. Abortion will never go away if you vote pro life or "anti life".

The heated rivalry isn't something that has to be bad.

I've been reading Obama's book, "The Audacity of Hope". He writes about talking with an old Senator who was wistfully reminiscing about the "good old days" when the Dems & Repubs would fight like cats & dogs on the floor, then go out for Steaks & Cigars afterward.

They were fiercely opposed in their ideologies, but respectful of each other.

Or how about Taiwan?

Even their WOMEN politicians have thrown fisticuffs and done the hair pulling thing during the gatherings of their legislators.
