I know majority of the people are white. I know times has changed but some people are still ****ed up in the head with this whole racism. My big concern is would people in maine except a mix couple or would they be against it?

So the rightist need to stop with the LIES.
Barack Obama on Abortion
This information has been posted over and over. Yet, certain individuals here continue to distort the facts in an attempt to sway voters as the Republicans have been doing every election. Thanks for posting rational facts ONCE AGAIN.

Secondly, any rational person knows that McCain intends to do absolutely nothing about abortions. What's the difference if he is pro choice or not since he would not do one thing more than his Republican predecessors have done after giving lip service to the prolife crowd? NOTHING.

I see you're as knowledgeable on this as you are on assault weapons. You're right, the president can't BUT the SC members that he nominates can. The next POTUS WILL in fact set the SC BOP for the next 10 years.

Abortions are like guns or cars, don't want one..............don't buy one. I won't tell YOU what to buy just don't tell me what I should or shouldn't buy.

I wonder if Obama's support of abolishing the death penalty will take the other half of the Catholics? A dichotomy for many Catholics. Republicans support the death penalty, but are anti-choice. Democrats are Pro-life (no death penalty) and pro-choice. Go figure.

Good question, some want to murder the innocent while others just want to cull the guilty and bring them to justice.

Justice by killing them? Thou shalt not kill. Not sure if you are Catholic, but the DP is a hot issue.

The death penalty is handed out for murder..........myself, I don't see it as killing them, I see it as exterminating the guilty.

So you feel abortion is not okay, but the DP is? This goes against Catholic law. Again, you aren't Catholic. You are probably CHRISTIAN. You like the DP.

Personal feelings, why kill the INNOCENT and not the GUILTY? ...and you're wrong, I am Catholic just "non practicing" but unlike you, I know what I'm talking about.

Hmmmm, I don't remember the 10 commandments saying "Thou shall not kill unless the person is proven guilty of a crime. Then's it's okey-dokey".
