…And says what I wish more Catholic leaders would about the ugly, angry–and yes, race-baiting–tone of the McCain/Palin campaign. Watch the video from a recent New Yorker campaign symposium…She’s not going to the back of the bus anymore!

I am sooooooo glad Donna Brazile made her remarks.
McCain-Palin’s far right “base” are downright scary. Furthermore, it’s sickening how Obama is scrutinized on vitually every level, yet issues that could be problematic for McCain and Palin seem to be glossed over (EXAMPLE: MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”).
Way to go, Donna!
God Bless You All(Even If We May Not Agree),

Donna Brazile is not the only one who’s not going back to the back of the bus. There’s a whole passel of Progressive Christians who aren’t going to let their black brothers and sisters be put in the back of the bus ever again . See “A Call for Hope, Courage and Compassion,” published by Progressive Christians for Barack Obama, at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/progressive-christians-for-barack-obama.html
Sign the petition and tell the McCain/Palin campaign that we American’s won’t stand anymore for the politics of fear and separation.
And Doug is right: God Bless Us All, even when we don’t agree, as long as we respect one another as a child of God with the right to think for ourselves!

Time for a reality check, folks! That reality is that bad as Republican race-baiting is, it is still the lesser of two evils: that greater of the two is that Obama should win.
Why? Because Obama has capitulated to the radical “gay rights” activists and now supports the false-marriage “same-sex marriage”; this will have a worse effect on the whole society than even the disastrous social experimentation of the 60s. McCain has not capitulated.
Also because his campaign promises about both Iraq and health-care show a complete refusal to face the realities of each: premature withdrawal in Iraq will be a disaster, and his health-care generosity is impossible to fund. It is based on voodoo economics.
Unfortunately, it is hard to say that McCain’s positions on these last two are any more realistic. They actually sound just as unrealistic, but in a different way;) But McCain has a proven track record of facing the facts and doing what he thinks is best for the country once the campaign rhetoric has died down. He even has a record for not being TOO far off concerning what he thinks is best.
Obama can make neither of these claims. But Democrats have glommed on to him as if he were a reincarnation of Jack Kennedy. He’s really more like a new version of Adlai Stevenson;)
