Abortion is set in stone by Roe v. Wade and gay marriage is a local or state-wide issue. Bringing them up as the prominant national issues is ridiculous. It's time for people to put down their self-righteous moral crusades and get to work on the problems of our country. Nice point with the article regarding generation divisions among evangelicals. From my experience younger evangelics seem open to applying their faith to a broad series of problems, such as poverty or the environment. Superb post. Abortion is set in stone by Roe v.

You make a really strong argument, but do you think there might be more to the story? I believe the candidates have dropped the topic for a number of reasons. One of which is the war in Iraq. I support the war 100 percent, but we have gotten in way over our head. This is why the Republican candidates shy away from the idea of using the war for a campain platform. No matter what they say their views are on the topic it will come back and bite them. Looks like you’ve really done your research.

However, concerning America’s financial situation, Congress allocates “non-esixtant money” to a plethora of places, not just the Iraq War. In any case, we cannot afford to fund this expensive–what an understatement!–war indefinately. Is it any wonder that the economy is the number one issue on voters minds going into this presidential election season? I’ll save my opinion about ‘Bush’s War’ for another time and another place.

JM that was one of the best blogs I've read today (and I have two more to go). I liked how you called the politicians out. They need it. The only problem I had was actually finding your post. Just as a suggestion, you might make it a little easier to find (just a suggestion). Why is it that our Congress keeps giving more and more non-existant money to fund the war? If we are so in debt (and I know we are) and if they know about it, then why? Bravo! JM that was one of the best blogs I’ve read today (and I have two more to go).
