And The Winner Of The Obama, McCain, Warren Forum Is....

John McCain. If I was scoring the forum as an olympic event, I would give McCain a 7.5 on a scale of 10 and BO a 4. (Plus having 98 million in the bank ain't too shabby either - see crawl on the TV screen.)

I agree. I thought John McCain was direct in his answers, and was very vulnerable and honest.

Definitely McCain by a long shot. Even though some of his answers sounded like his stump speeches they were direct and honest, unlike OB's "thoughtful and esoteric" rhetoric - YIKES....I was not big on this event to begin with, but I think Pastor Warren did an excellent job and the format allowed some of the political veneer to peel away

Bryon,
I recently visited the "Bodies Exhibition" in Cincinnati. http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com/
Part of the exhibition laid out the development of a human fetus. I was amazed at the development of the baby at 6 weeks. It reinforced even more my belief that allowing abortion is murder; period. It's not a "moral issue" for me. It's a "fact issue." Everyone likes to call it a "moral issue" because "morals" have been dumb-downed to the point of being defined as whatever you think is right or wrong - the absence of absolute truth. I'm sorry, but abortion is a black & white issue; not a popular stance in this "whatever you think is right society" we now live in. Saying abortions haven't been reduced misses the point and is a cop out. Making adoption easier is the best way to reduce abortions. Honestly, I'm very surprised at your consideration of Obama as a serious candidate. He may win, but if he does, I will proudly proclaim that I did not vote for him. I'm almost afraid to ask your definition of marriage. :)

More babies killed in this country since Roe vs Wade than soldiers in all the wars this country has ever fought. You make a mistake, you live in discomfort for 9 months, then you give up the baby to a heterosexual couple who love the baby and raise it responsibly. You don't kill it. Mac hit a home run last night.
