		<description>NARAL&#039;s abandonment of their supposedly solid principles is reminiscent of Gloria Steinem&#039;s March 22, 1998 &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; editorial supporting Bill Clinton against Paula Jones&#039; sexual harassment suit against the then-President.  She sloughed off his dropped-pants full-monty invitation to Jones to &quot;kiss it&quot; as a &quot;clumsy sexual pass,&quot; unworthy of being defined as harassment.  The NYT and/or Steinem flushed that editorial down the memory hole; it&#039;s not in their online archives going back to 1981.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www2.edc.org/WomensEquity/edequity98/0561.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Fortunately, it was posted in a feminist newsgroup for posterity.&lt;/a&gt;

Why was uber-feminazi Steinem so willing to let Slick Willie free his willy without penalty?  Undoubtedly for the same reason then-&lt;i&gt;Time&lt;/i&gt; contributor Nina Burleigh expressed to Howard Kurtz in the thick of the Lewinsky story: &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I would be happy to give him a blow job just &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;to thank him for keeping abortion legal.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; I think American women should be lining up with their presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs.&quot;

		<description>Interesting thing about the changes of position each candidate has made. Obama&#039;s are all towards the right (center) (Iraq, FISA, gun rights, capital punishment, abortion) all in an attempt to attract votes he otherwise wouldn&#039;t attract. As far as NAFTA is concerned, he seems to be a serial liar: against it in the Midwest, for it elsewhere. On campaign finance, Obama just lied. It&#039;s up to McCain, his supporters, and centrist voters to smoke out Obama for the hard-left liar that he is. 

Using a football field as the political spectrum, Obama is on the 10-yard line of the left--which is where he belongs. In contrast, McCain is probably on the 40-yard line of the right.

McCain changed his position on taxes (awhile ago), but it was a change toward the right to solidify votes he&#039;d likely get anyway. He&#039;ll hardly double back if he wins. Besides, aren&#039;t Obama supporters arguing that Obama&#039;s tax plan is better anyway? On drilling, once again, this is a change that solidifies McCain&#039;s base. It just so happens to be where 70% or more of the country is too. Obama only wishes that his nutty-left enviro supporters would let him do so. Even if he eventually lies about that too, they&#039;ll never go for nuclear, so McCain should try to crush Obama on energy. The left&#039;s solution is wind, solar, and two sticks to rub together. I read above that McCain&#039;s position has changed on abortion, but I&#039;m under the impression that he&#039;s been opposed to it all along. If he has changed, wasn&#039;t the change many years ago? So what? Obama&#039;s changing his mind on a daily basis. Frankly, I can&#039;t debate his stances, because I can&#039;t figure out where he stands.  

In the end, the questions are as follows: (1) Which direction is each flip-flop sending the candidate--to the base or to the middle? (2) How sincere do you believe the candidate is about that particular flop?

Viewed in this manner, Obama is a lying sack.</description>

		<description>This is the same deal as when he pulled that NAFTA stunt: making noise against it as a means of pandering to blue-collar voters, all the while assuring Canadian officials that he is going to leave it alone. He&#039;s throwing out the &lt;i&gt;idea&lt;/i&gt; that he&#039;ll be tougher on 3rd trimester restrictions in an attempt to attract moderate conservative voters; NARAL &lt;b&gt;knows&lt;/b&gt; that once (God forbid!) he gets into office he will side with them 100% of the time.</description>

		<description>I thought Alan Keyes ran against him in order to pin down his positions.

But he has no positions. He has elections.</description>

		<description>I correct my earlier comment regarding how &quot;debating&quot; with Harpy&#039;s like debating a Bobo Doll - it&#039;s more akin to debating a parrot: 

Commenter: &quot;Obama Changes his position on abortion.&quot;

Harpy: &quot;McCain&#039;s a Flip - Flopper! Wraaack!&quot; 

Commenter: &quot;Looks like Obama&#039;s also changing his position on Iraq.&quot; 

Harpy: &quot;McCain&#039;s a Flip - Flopper! Wraaack!&quot;

Commenter: &quot;could you please answer the economic question put to you earlier?&quot; 

Harpy: &quot;Why don&#039;t you show it to me first? Wraaack!&quot;

Commenter: &quot;Can you please give us one example of increasing taxation resulting in higher revenues?&quot; 

Harpy: &quot;Why don&#039;t you show it to me first? Wraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!&quot;

Polly want a cracker?</description>
