Who wrote this? No bias in the media? I've never met anyone who was pro-abortion. I've met a lot of people, including my 70 something grandmother, who are pro-choice. Many of whom, like myself, would not choose to have an abortion, but don't want to see this country go back to dangerous and deadly abortions or see anyone serve jail time for making a difficult and deeply personal decision. I think that many of the foundations of the Republican mindset, such as keeping government small, align themselves more closely with pro-choice politics than so called "pro-life" or anti-abortion, anti-choice politics. pro-abortion?

People say we don't need homeland security because nothing has happened since. The fail to understand that nothing has happened because Homeland Security has stopped many things and they don't go around telling people what they prevented.

It is a horrible thing to have to face. They are pro-choice however. A big difference. Mc Cain would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's next? Maybe we should suspend Habeaus Corpus or maybe the first ammendment... As long as we all keep wearing our flag pins things will be OK though. That's the ticket. A vote for the Republican party is a vote for tyrany. Dear Ed, No one is pro-abortion. It is a horrible thing to have to face. They are pro-choice however. A big difference.

He's capable and moderate with his own set of views. To lump him in with the incompetence of the Bush administration is unfair. Let me be clear, I'm still avidly supporting Obama but I think you all at least be fair to the man.

Of course one could expect some growing pains as the department got organized, but it is still a farce all these years later. The country is not safer. Civil liberties and basic human rights are routinely ignored and the residents of the Gulf Coast are STILL waiting for an adequate response to Hurricane Katrina. And that is if you are able to forget for a minute that he is one of Bushes more eager lapdogs.

Loved your post turtle story. May I borrow it? It fits Obama to a tee. I had never heard it before, and find it hillar-ious. I remember the Robin Williams movie, Man of the Year, where he accidently wins the election. Didn't have the foggest idea what to do. Obama fits that mold, also that movie is where Obama got the, "we are not red states, we are not blue states, we are the United States." I got to admit it has a nice ring to it. Obama, is a POST TURTLE! I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November, watsted or not my conscience will be clear.

Tom Ridge has never projected himself as being alert enough to do any real damage or good for the country. Besides, he presided over the establishment of the Homeland Security color code threat system. If he is the VP it will be code "blue" for the GOP. Your comments are too harsh.
