McCain-Palin looks like much of the same to the world.

I'm not entirely certain which treaties you're talking about, but go ahead and fill me in. I continue to stand by my opinion that the climate change issue is mostly hysteria. Calling abstinence and anti-abortionism backward social practices is just wrong though. The simple truth is that abstinence is the only 100% sure way NOT to get AIDS. Yes, condoms and such can help, but they don't always work and aren't always available. You guys are talking a lot about the cost of the Iraq war, but over 3,000 people die every day in the US because of abortions. Don't give the whole "when life begins" argument either, its simple biology, the real question is when do human beings get basic human rights.
PS- that bullsh-- about Wasilla police charging rape victims has been thoroughly debunked. There is absolutely no record of the police doing that. It is possible that the private hospital's did so, but that is the hospital's fault, not the mayor's.
