I think many people today are walking around making up their own religions - ones which support their own views. (i.e., the gospel according to Soledad).


I don't know how much you know about Catholicism, but there are many different beliefs in the church and they don't always agree with the Vatican. In fact, many believe there will be a break and there will be an American Catholicism formed in the next couple of years.

I made a joke in one of the threads about Edwards' hair and Soledad read me the riot act, but it is OK for her to criticize Bush's appearance last night. This is what I mean about not debating properly.
I'm sorry, but I COULD NOT STOP LOOKING AT THE FOAM FORMING AT THE PRESIDENT'S MOUTH. It was horrifying. It was also an event that happened during the debate. I was not talking about his frizzy hair, or his beady eyes. I was talking about something that formed in that moment. It's a bit like talking about Nixon sweating or forming a five o'clock shadow on tv.

Oh and Soledad you left out Fox, but of course you would never watch anything Fair and Balanced. It might prod you to think outside of your narrow-minded box. ABC this morning gave a one point lead to Kerry in last night's debate. I guess the proof of the pudding will be on November 2nd.
This would be funny if it wasn't so completely pathetic. That you honestly believe their slogan is just too hilarious. I watch FOX alright, if only to keep up on what sort of sludge and personal opinions that they're sloughing off as news. It's important to keep up with the slop people are being fed.

Lastly, for your Popcornbird, I know that you can't support Kerry's views on abortions. How about that lovely practice called Partial Birth Abortions which he voted against banning. There is more than one issue here. It is a package that you get. I personally don't care for Kerry's entire package. To you others, go right ahead. I can assure you in four years if, God forbid he should win, you will be typing anti-Kerry comments here in 2008. Go ahead and vote but vote wisely.
Pops and others, I would ask you why is it that the President is all about life while it's in the womb but seems to completely ignore life that is here and living. He REFUSED to make an exception in the case of the life of the mother. It is unconscionable that anyone could justify this. A woman is condemned TO DIE even if her doctors say that it's her life or a partial birth abortion under this law. It's why Kerry refused to vote for this.

It's not as if people are going and having partial birth abortions right and left in this country. The reasons for having one are not as a method of birth control, but are done when there are SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS.

But Bush, like most conservatives, has a problem thinking in shades of grey. I know he doesn't have the mental capacity for it, but what's everyone elses' excuse?
