Senator McCain went on the offensive quickly, criticising Senator Obama's proposal to raise taxes on Americans who make more than $US250,000 ($378,000) a year and saying it would hurt small business owners like Joe, whom Senator Obama met on the campaign trail.
Originally posted by jam321cause it is hard when you get someone pregnant and a woman tells you that she is pregnant but is getting an abortion. Nothing a man can do about it. It is a heartbreaking situation if you love kids.

Only thing stopping Obama from taking the house of white, is a bullet, a rigged election, or a catastrophy.
Sadly, I believe one of them will occur!
SAFE McCain will at least act like a capitalist if elected,

Most interesting quote for the night?
In defence of not having an exception to the late term abortion ban for when it is necessary to save the mother's life:
"That's the extreme abortion position, quote, health."
Doesn't seem quite right that a wannabe president should think consideration of the mother's right to life is an extreme position.
The reason behind that is the fact that during the Late Term of Pregnancy, Child-birth can be brought about Prematurely through Contraction inducing drugs. If there is a Health problem, and it is during the Late Term, there is still a chance to have the baby birthed alive. That is why Late Term abortions in such scenarios are not necessary, and I am saying that from a Medical perspective, not a Political one.

When I browse through these debate threads I come across the same individuals that pop up in the ufo threads , in the oct. 14 threads , in personal discussion threads and so on and so on .... the ones who totally dilute the original topic with nothing but garbage trying to force their personal beliefs on everyone else.

I don't really know what Obama said, but I know it involved "four years of failed policies" and "eight years of failed policies" with nearly every response he had.

It really really really bothered me when McCain nonchalantly scoffed and undermined the pro-life/pro-choice health.... er "health" issues for women. Their health is a serious and legitimate consideration when debating the pro-life/pro-choice arguments!! He brushed it off by surrounding verbal quotation marks around the word "health" and followed it with an evil Bush cackle. Not cool. Rubbed me all kinds of wrong.

As you said, "there is still a chance to have the baby birthed alive. "
A chance, not a certainty.
Do you realise that not all Caesareans are a choice? Sometimes a woman cannot give birth naturally. A Caesarean is a major operation, and some conditions make such an operation very risky. Now would you want your wife, if she was haemophiliac, to go through a Caesarean if it was known the baby could not survive anyway?
