Single What? Female...

someone just not clear...

of the concept...

Okay...this is a time of giving, of love, of peace...And the Christian Right have decided that while those crazy liberal leftist Christians are protesting that the government should help the poor, the Christian Right has said...well "that's not our priority". Instead, according to a spokesman for James Dobson's group Focus on the Family (you know, the group that hates SpongeBob) they feel: "It's not a question of the poor not being important or that meeting their needs is not important," said Paul Hetrick, a spokesman for Focus on the Family, Dobson's influential, Colorado-based Christian organization. "But whether or not a baby is killed in the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, that is less important than help for the poor? We would respectfully disagree with that."

Um...okay...2 things:

1) One percent of ALL abortions are late term.
2) As the majority of late term abortions are had by women who come from poor areas (see last week's New York magazine), perhaps if you HELP THE POOR with things like job programs, education programs, contraception and proper counseling, JUST PERHAPS there'd be FEWER LATE-TERM ABORTIONS, let alone abortions period...

Further proof that these are some of the least Christian people I've ever seen. Good lord.

IN THE MEANTIME...speaking of delusional Christian Right Wingers, George "the latest Zogby poll saying my approval rating is %38 is wrong and they're a bunch of Commies" W. spoke again today...and said THIS of all things:

"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong," Bush said during his fourth and final speech before Thursday's vote for Iraq's parliament. "As president I am responsible for the decision to go into Iraq. And I'm also responsible for fixing what went wrong by reforming our intelligence capabilities. And we're doing just that."

I want to know how long his advisors had to hold him down before he agreed to that paragraph.

(He also apparently aid something about Japan being the "most free-est nation" I KNOW I heard that on NPR this afternoon)

Despite his giving in on this, there was an AP report on Yahoo news (now gone) about 41 Senators want Bush to be more frank about Iraq. While Bush did say he is responsible for our entering the Iraq war, and defended the removal of Saddam Hussein from power, he has yet to explain his connecting Saddam to 9/11, the lack of planning, the lack of support (on the Today show they mentioned a NY Times poll I can't find that said that Iraqis are less hopeful for their future than they were 2 years ago), the severe lack of OSAMA BIN LADEN...

And speaking of things lacking...the Patriot Act is up for vote...and there are Senate Democrats who want to and claim to have the votes for filibuster. I say send a note to your Senator and make sure that filibuster happens...

all right, that's what I got time for right now...back to the Christmas cards and the phones...

But as you dive into your own holiday traditions, KEEP E-MAILING!!!

Peace --Alex
