Why didn’t John McCain pick Condoleezza Rice as his running mate?

Since one of the above commenters said that life begins when we want it to…I’d like to say that my 15 year old is bugging the crap out of me…and since he’s not an adult yet I don’t think he has a life…so I’m gonna kill him. Also, Rose pointed out that my right to do so is protected by Federal law…and because they know best and all law is just I’m well within the legal guidelines of what our great government says I can do.
The little bastard had it coming anyway.

Rick from PA, your list of junk from foxnews is just a bunch of garbage.
No one cared that the first Republican President of the USA had a “oooh so scary”, Muslim Name.
But its simple, redneck cowards like you that want the world to go backwards.

Such an irrelavent issue. Its the fraking right of Americans to choose. Its protected by federal law for God’s sake. Why does this stupid, stupid issue of abortion always come up?
Move on, what about gas and energy costs what about social programs and budgets.

Life begins when you want it to.. I just wish my miscarriage could have been used to do stem sell research maybe if this was done back in the sixties there would be help for spinal cord injuries and Parkinsons and alzheimers and other sickness involving the brain

In Regard to the Saddleback interview—-Senator Obama is suppose to be a different kind of Politician —What is Middle Class–McCain–”I am going to get into so much trouble for this—5 million dollars. I don’t want to tax anybody. Our problem is not we don’t have enough tax dollars–the problem is we spend too much.”—Obama–”John McCain thinks 5 million dollars is middle class”——–real different. Or do you think he failed to grasp the true content?

I wish that people would get the issue straight !
Islam has some fundamental differences from Christianity. This is one of them.
In the Christian community, the fact that your father and/or mother happen(s) to be Christian(s) does not mean that you are automatically a Christian when you are born. You are baptized; the Catholics have something called Confirmation when you get a bit older; etc etc.
Christianity is fundamentally a religion of choice (even though in some Christian “groups” children are baptized shortly after birth by their parents… But if you don’t like it, you can always leave when you grow up and wish to choose otherwise).
On the other hand, for Muslims, Islam is a religion that is passed on de facto from father to child (just like Judaism is passed on from mother to child) and only via the father (the religion of the mother is irrelevant, just like the religion of the father is irrelevant for the Jewish community).
In other words, for the Umma (i.e. the Muslim community across the world), Mr. Obama would in principle be considered to be a Muslim (just as a person whose mother is Jewish would be considered to be Jewish by the Jewish community), because Mr. Obama’s now-deceased father happened to be a Muslim (himself presumably via his own father, but I do not know this for certain).
In fact, in principle for Muslims, it’s “once a Muslim always a Muslim”, i.e. you cannot renounce being a Muslim no matter how you acquired it (witness the recent fate of the Christian convert Abdul Rahman who had to flee Afghanistan from an apostasy trial (and certain execution)).
On the other hand, what are Mr. Obama’s personal true beliefs as he walks through his daily life?
That is something that I do not know. I am not in his head.
PS For your information, I am an “undecided independent” who has typically voted Democrat in the past but who also happens to choose to like the facts… I’m now waiting for the debates.

Of course he struggled with the answer. There is no pleasant way for Obama or anyone else to say “I’m in favor of killing babies.”

Obama is losing credibility fast — with hubby and I anyway. He was indeed, too good to be true. Why has he NOT taken on the known criminals in the Chicago political hegemony? Is he their “made man?”
McCain-Palin is looking much more attractive as of today.

The reason many Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama is because they are embarrassed of him, his life, his unfair tactics and his beliefs. And they still don’t know all about him.
1. They don’t want a candidate that has been in a twenty year relationship with Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ.
2. They don’t’ want a candidate that has a twenty year relationship with Father Pflaeger and refers to him as his compass in life
3. They don’t want a candidate that went to a church that supports Louis Farrakhan, an anti Semitic racist, that has led a rally of 20,000 Nation of Islam members to support Obama in Chicago

5. They don’t want a candidate that lies about his relationship with Tony Rezko, the Syrian Criminal that sold his property to Obama and supported his campaign.
6. They don’t want a candidate that could work with a domestic terrorist, William Ayers.
7. They don’t want a candidate that Hamas supports.
8. They don’t want a candidate that Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam support
9. They don’t want a candidate that has a wife that has just now realized she was proud of our country.
10. They don’t want a candidate that denies Florida and Michigan their voices
11. They don’t want a candidate that mentions 57 states in his speeches. 50 states in the USA and 57 states in the Nation of Islam (IOC website)
12. They don’t want a candidate that fights unfair and hyjacks Michigan delegate votes from his opponent.
13. They don’t want a candidate that is inexperienced, especially dealing with military issues.
14. They don’t want a candidate that considers it a loss to not to be able to attend his anti American, racist Church.
15. They don’t want a candidate that has a “non practicing” Muslim father, but avoids the entire discussion of his father.
16. They don’t’ want a candidate that won’t debate
17. They don’t’ want a candidate that misleads the youth with an ‘Obama girl and her behind in their face”
18. They don’t want a candidate that says he’s an African American and missed the MLK Remembrance Day and the Louisiana Black Caucus meeting
19. They don’t want a candidate that enjoys laughing at sexism.
20. They don’t want a candidate that switches his position on gun control, FISA, the war in Iraq and abortion issues.
21. They don’t want a candidate that showcases his daughters on TV shows.
22. They don’t’ want a candidate that has poor judgment..
23. They don’t’ want a candidate named; Barack Hussein Obama
24. He is embarrassing.
25. He scares them to death.
