True to her faith, and to the preachers who lead her in prayer every week, she has adopted the morality of her faith. She is very strong on social justice, but "morally relative" on abortion.
What Hillary is following when it comes to abortion is worldliness.Beliefs and Practices:
John Wesley's three basic precepts that began the Methodist tradition consisted of:
- Shun evil and avoid partaking in wicked deeds at all costs,
- Perform kind acts as much as possible, and
- Abide by the edicts of God the Almighty Father.
The Methodist Conference Statement of 1976 states that abortion is always an evil, to be avoided if at all possible by offering care to single mothers during pregnancy, and the adoption of their children if, at full term, the mother cannot offer a home.
However, the Statement also holds that there will be circumstances where the termination of pregnancy may be the lesser of evils. These include situations where the embryo is 'grievously handicapped', the pregnancy is the result of rape or the health, mental or physical, of the mother is at risk.
HELLOOOO!!!! A little basic American history and some fundamental math: Hawaii statehood comes in 1959. Barak Obama is born in 1961. Hawaii has been a state for two years by 1961. There is nothing to review.
The old adage - "the apple doesnt fall far from the tree", has some truth to it.
Ok, well Shannon, if a man is born today in Mexico, and Mexico decides in two years to be join the states, is he American born or not?
That's a question i think needs to be reviewed a bit. I dont know the laws of being CEO of the US all that much to know if a change over occurs it automatically elevates them to citizen born. OR perhaps it was never addressed before.
Wish i knew the 'small print' on this subject...
So anyway - what ad in particular do you feel is untrue?
From what i have seen, it doesnt actually take all that much to discredit Obama.
Just show a video of him saying something, then show him contradicting it. And i have seen that coming from Obama.
So far, logic tells me that is not untruth from McCain, it is untruths from Obama.
SO he isnt actually an American born.
So shouldnt that automatically disqualify him?
The conspiracy theory is and I this is the only thing that may be fabricated, we'll just have to see, is that he was born in Africa and flown to Hawaii a week after and his birth is certificate is a forgery. The conspiracy theory folks say that when he was adopted in Indoasia he was made their citizen and when he came back he never applied for citizenship properly.
The conspiracy theory folks say the Republicans have all the documentation and will drop it when they feel is the right time. It's said Hills gave them all the info.
It's a stretch yeah, but it would PO Schwarzenegger who is ineligible to run becuase he is not American born.
But what really brothers me about him is how he says his grandmother was so racist but yet she took him in and raised him and made him what he is and in the Fox documentary I didn't see this poor pitiful lifestyle he keeps harping on. I see a black boy who lived a moderately privileged life.
I find it despicable and disgraceful that he would call his grandmother a racist, throw her under the bus in speeches designed to cover his butt after all this woman sacrificed for him, and the woman is still alive. It's pathetic. He has no honor or integrity.
But now I suppose, folks will come in here and say that's not factual either.
OK,
I finally have this figured out:
You're one of those Rather-dead-Obama Clintionista PUMA's aren't you ?
Now I get it.
You can't deny it to me.
My grandparents were rascist, but it's better to keep things like that hidden under the rug where they belong. We don't want politicians who are too transparent with thier lives- we might actually kind of trust them then...
Yeah--see they let anybody who wants to, walk onto the Senate floor. There are no background checks of any kind. Senators can actually use fake IDs to prove their ages as a service to their local college fraternities.

As Hillary said, "available and rare."
The L.A. Times just popped a big story the Obama-Biden folks don't want to be reading the night the Delaware senator introduces himself to the nation: a potential conflict of interest involving Biden and one of the nation's biggest asbestos litigation law firms -- which also happens to be his top contributor.
The report seems to provide fuel to Obama supporters enraged Illinois senator picked a running mate with such deep ties to the D.C. cash-politics-lobbying world.
Investigative reporters Chuck Neubauer and Tom Hamburger:
"When Joe Biden’s brother and son wanted to buy a hedge fund company two years ago, they turned for financing to a law firm that had lobbied the Delaware senator’s office on an important piece of business in Congress — and in fact had just benefited from his vote.
The firm promised James and Hunter Biden that it would invest $2 million, and quickly delivered half of it.
That deal eventually fell through and the money was returned. But it highlighted the close ties that Joe Biden and his family have developed with SimmonsCooper, an Illinois law firm that specializes in asbestos litigation — a multimillion-dollar line of business that was under threat in Congress.
In addition to providing financing for the hedge fund deal, SimmonsCooper picked the law firm of another of Biden’s sons, Beau, to work with it on dozens of asbestos cases in Delaware. "It was only natural that we worked with my friend Beau Biden and his firm," said Jeffrey Cooper, longtime former managing partner of SimmonsCooper.
And SimmonsCooper employees have donated about $200,000 to Biden’s campaign efforts since 2001, making the firm his No. 1 donor. All told, SimmonsCooper employees provided much more money to Biden than to any other senator during that period."

"[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans serif]During the administration of William Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history. He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in many places, and reduced welfare rolls. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus"Interesting thing...
When Biden told his little story last night at the dem convention... "Imagining the conversations around the dinner tables in America today... how will we pay our bills, how will we send our kids to college, how will we find the money etc etc,... this is the America Bush has left us with..."
Did anyone else notice that less than a minute later he went on to say how Obama chose a life of public service back in 1995 because he saw first hand the suffering of the people with job losses, low incomes, plant closures, high taxes etc. ?
Wait a minute, wasn't Clinton the President at that time? LOL. Meanwhile all the crowd(including the clintons) was nodding their heads in approval and applauding. Curious, expecially when you consider the average unemployment rate when Clinton was Pres was higher than it has ever reached with Bush as Pres. Very curious to say the least.
