Barry Goldwater's Grandaughter: I'm supporting Obama

Goldwater felt social issues such as Abortion and any debate concerning homos had no place in politics.

“I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” Barry Goldwater

I agree with this stance on the homosexual debate (read "Gay Marriage").

However, isn't there a valid argument that abortion is a political issue, not because of the moral choice but because a key element of socialism is to devalue the individual? Abortion law does that by bringing onto the question of when a fetus becomes a human. Slowly a person becomes less a person until the law declares it so. Eventually, humanity becomes something legislated rather than something divinely created. Isn't this what Republicans are often unknowingly invoking when they use the buzz words "culture of life"?
 
If he does get elected lets hope the old McCain comes out and maybe replaces his VP. There seemed to be some tension between the two last night!

hell yeah there's tension. she could cost him the election.

Pesonally, I am Pro-Life, but Roe v. Wade needs to left alone for a littany of reasons. Too big of a debate and too far off-topic for this thread.
 
If she doesn't shut the hell up, she could.
I would be fine with him if he replaces her as his first order of business and puts in Liberman the man he always wanted for the job. For one you see him with Liberman quite a bit more then Palin! He knows it was a mistake!
