Obama, Abortion rates have fallen since Bush has been in office and since republicans started passing pro life laws around the USA.

The Guttmacher Institute, reports a more than 25% decline from 1990 to 2005 in the abortion rate, with the number of abortions down 9% since the year 2000 and down to the levels of 30 years ago.

Typical Democrat! Obama screws up and it is always someone or something elses fault.  Boo HOO Need a hanky? Fox is the only FAIR channel. Suppose MSNBC isn't pro Obama as well as NBC, CBS, ABC and all the others.

When you were my age? So now you know me? Arguements only make people further entrenched in what they already believe. Don't waste your time trying to make me feel bad you were in Iraq cus I don't. You volunteered and should be proud you did. Not using it as an arguement on Youtube.

While Sen. John McCain's wife and father-in-law were investing with Charles H. Keating, Jr. in a shopping center, McCain was helping Keating battle federal regulators who questioned his operation of Lincoln Savings and Loan Documents show that Sen. John McCain's wife, Cindy, and father-in-law, James W. Hensley are the largest investors

netcisco? I think Obama is more compassionate. You gotta remember that obama aint a rich boy. Cheney is a heavy weight when we talk about cash. 6 million is pocket change for guys like cheney.

Why should it be pro choice for a woman to kill life within her body? That baby is not her body! Many women who have had abortions are suffering from depression, because abortion goes against woman's nature.

Why not take precautions before, so that you don't have to make that choice?

Has anyone pointed out that Obama is LYING on this video? He didn't work with McCain on that legislation. He started to, and then he backstabbed McCain by backing out; it was a very infamous little event in which McCain wrote a letter to Obama at the time, pointing out how unethical (but politically expedient) his behavior was.

Chslosers, that's because the word VOTE, never came out of his mouth. I suggest you play it again.

Who is more compassionate to the "least of us"?

Obama gave 6% of his income to charity in 2007, he made over a million in 2007.

Dick Cheney gave over 70% of his income to charity. Cheney made over 8 million in 2007 and gave more than 6 million to charity.

Where in the scriptures does it say that the government needs to take care of the poor? Isn't that our job as a society? As a member of the family? As a member of a church?

mcCain's answer was very touching. How many of us could/would do the same, and pay for it with three years of POW camp.
