"The question then is, are there areas that we can agree to that everybody can get behind? We can all agree that we want to reduce teen pregnancies. We can all agree that we want to make sure that adoption is a viable option."</I><BR/><BR/>Here again you see the repetition of a key word: "Agree." Obama's campaign is built around key words like this one that imply unity and peace.<BR/><BR/>But we have to push the issue of agreement further and ask: Are there any areas where we must agree, and cannot abide disagreement? And if so, why is abortion not one of these areas?<BR/><BR/>But as you say, the man's rhetorical ability is simply scary. He probably will be the next president.Ignoramushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07941438311862464747noreply@blogger.com
