Senator McCain, what about our Biosphere...
that web of biology, air, water & earth?  

You know, that over reaching organism that makes life possible on this planet.  
In fact, what we humans are a part of.  

Does its health matter to McCain?  

Show us: explain how you see Earth’s current condition,
and how you envision future challenges regarding our Biosphere.

Creationism...

and extremist’s demand to cling to supposedly literalist Biblical interpretations.

When will we question the practice of proclaiming subjective interpretations of ancient texts as everyone’s ultimate Word of God... reality?

Our National Interest...

Senator McCain for all your sarcasm and insults,
I still don’t know how you perceive our National Interests, other than “DRILL & BLAST.”

The world’s future is much more complicated than that! Isn’t it?

Just what is McCain's vision of America’s National Interest for the challenging & revolutionary future heading our way?

SPEAKING OF ABORTION

Abortion... I’m continually amazed by the bizarre right-wing ability to proclaim your conviction in: “The Right to Life” and “The Sanctity of Life”... for an unborn being, then in the same breath support a war that has inflicted untold “9-11’s” upon another distant, yet innocent, citizenry. Right-wingers will exclaim: but that’s self-defense! Why not ask: What about the troubled mother who must make an agonized decision based on self-defense for herself and her existing family?

How can Republicans be so oblivious of the all around tragic ordeal abortion is for those involved – When will you grant women their own right to
self-defense ~ dignity ~ empathy ?

*possibly the most thoughtful piece written on the topic :
Rachel Richardson Smith’s essay: “Abortion, Right and Wrong”

the debates were definitely of a better quality that we've heard in a long time.
just wish Obama could have done a better job of exposing the foolishness of McCain think.

Senator McCain Says:
“No! You should not ‘Spread your Wealth around!’ ”

Mr. McCain, are you telling Americans that hoarding is where it’s at ? . . . Is that it?
Because that’s what it sounds like. You make it easy to believe Republicans are only interested in creating more mega-millionaires and billionaires.

How does that sort of hoarding help our community?
Isn’t our economy and community about cycling wealth through all the layers of society?

Senator McCain, you highlight one of the mistaken beliefs that go to the heart of recent Republican failures: “What’s mine is mine and *!@$ you and yours!”

Rooted in Reaganomics this faith imagines an Earth that’s a true cornucopia. A fount of limitless resources, just waiting for our plunder. Maximizing profits (at any cost) is the battle cry.

The notion of natural limits was/is treated with dismissive ridicule, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

To this day, in the midst of a growing global crisis - not one big-shot, be he/she media, politician or business titan acknowledges that when you get down to it - It’s the Resource Base silly! No one’s discussing that Resource Base. Why? Well, perhaps it’s fear of having to acknowledge that Reaganomics has been viscously abusive & destructive of our resource base and the Biosphere* that sustains it all. *You know, that magnificent biological web that is our Life Support System.

Do Republicans willfully ignore these facts because they are more important than profits? . . . and Republicans are still unable to consider anything more important than profits?...................... Is that it?

Rove style (Neocon) Republican politics - which actually has nothing to do with true honorable conservatism - has sold too many Americans a false myth based on a self-centered faith that God supports their own materialistic dreams above and beyond the shared dreams of all humanity.

How can Americans thwart Rove’s willful attack on civil public discourse?

I am being bombarded by computerized calls from the Republican Party. I AM A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT AND GREATLY RESENT THIS.
