You're really going to have to go through some logical flaming hoops to justify supporting McCain on this one, pan.

How did I say I support McCain..... I stated how I feel on the issue..... now it's up to me to decide who best represents that issue or is closest to it.
If you read my post nowhere do I say "Abstinence Only"..... nowhere do I state schools should not teach it....... nowhere do I state that contraception and education should not be available.
You twist my stating a belief that the federal government should in no way fund contraception to "Abstinence Only". That is a mighty huge jump and there is no justification that is what I am saying..... because it isn't.
But if you go by my true argument, the true belief I have stated..... you cannot truly argue against it because you have nothing to stand on. Thus, you need to twist and argue things that aren't even remotely close to what I said.
I don't believe in all honesty McCain cares one way or the other about birth control, hence, DC's post.
Obama on the other hand will do what he does..... he will say whatever is the "right" more popular answer.
I would rather have a man who is willing to state his personal views, even if he doesn't have any on an issue.... than someone trying to tell me what they think I want to hear.

That's common sense.
And as for my "dark ages" I meant that in the terms of McCain wanting to overturn Roe vs. Wade, I don't think we should be taking steps backwards.

I seriously doubt and hope to God Roe v Wade is never overturned.
So the Federal government should pay for those who want to have sex and use birth control??????
How and why is it the federal government's responsibility to make sure you are educated and have these materials?
That is just fucking insane.
