McCain/Palin will make great leaders for our Country. Palin is strong in supporting the right to life and has compassion for special needs children. With more and more special needs children in the United States it would be nice to see someone who cares in the White House help these people out. Darin nothing else to say here.

The 2008 draft platform reads: "The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right." (Notice they even support funding abortions from taxpayers who may object to the practice.) I'm all for expanding our focus to other important issues. But when you can't even get the Big One right - the right to life - your entire outlook is skewed. It's like putting on cracked glasses: it's going to affect the way you see everything else. As long as "they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them," the Democratic Party will (and should) continue to be avoided by thoughtful Christians.
