Yeah, he’s great if you want to go to war against nuclear armed Russia. Real great.

Take a good look at Alan Keyes to vote for President. He is great. That is why the American Independent Party is supporting him.

Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman, American Independent Party

God Bless

The entire public is cordially invited on September 26 from 7:00pm – 10:00pm to meet Chuck Baldwin, Constitution Party candidate for president, as he travels to New Jersey to meet with voters face-to-face. This event is free to the public and will be held at the Firehouse Restaurant, 455 St. Georges Ave. in Rahway, NJ. This will be a great opportunity for the public to meet-and-greet a presidential candidate.

“John L: McCain will not overturn Roe & Wade nor likely appoint judges that would be likely to do that, as in that case those judges would also overturn McCain-Feingold. Also, the Bush admin, that was supposed to be pro-life has done zero to change the issue, even with a GOP majority for 6 years! There are a few choice R’s but then also a few pro-life D’s and could have had a majority.”

Interesting analysis, Stefan, concerning the McCain-Feingold aspect and you are certainly right to say that Bush has done nothing that has concretely improved the death culture. If anything his stem-cell compromise actually damaged it, much to the consternation of the USCCB and the Vatican. I never forgave nor will I ever forgive him for that perfidy. But I think you may be overly concerned with the point of McCain-Feingold, as well thought out as it is. It certainly used to be that those most interested in the overturning of Roe would be trusting enough of a Republican president and his appointees, but after David Souter that’s over. McCain, if he were to get the opportunity to appoint someone, just might have to take his chances on McCain-Feingold to keep a lid on his own administration. The reaction to Meirs comes to mind as instructive here. What concerns me most about a McCain appointment, though, is that while it would most likely be reliable concerning Roe, it would most likely be reliable on the unitary executive as well and that part scares me. Non-ideological pro-lifers, largely Catholics and some Reformed Protestants, would be loath to buy into a Faustian deal that gave them an abortion-free America at the cost of having a Caudillo in the place of a President and that’s precisely what it promises to mean. The Reichschurch, on the other hand, the Dobson, Lands, Colsons, Falwells, Neuhauses and Weirichs wouldn’t much care about being ruled by a Fuehrer. They’re all terribly parenta – if not authoritarian – as it is. Catholics need to give a lot of serious thought to the proported cultural benefits of a McCain Administration. Actually, Baldwin is a much better choice on these questions.

McCain would not change anything on this issue, he is on record…one wonders how many pro-lifers would be fooled into voting for him based on allegedly pro-life positions. Some “pro-choicers” have even said the US has some of the most liberal laws re. abortion and it should be changed.

Apropo sweater: the news is about Palin’s dramatic change in dress/style, which is perhaps the equivalent of Baldwin moving from sweater to a suit… Todd Palin has been a member of the AIP and I can also understand it, he is of part Eskimo descent – I think – and no wonder he would not have something to do with dominance from DC.

So the CP is finally rid of its association with the AIP? Now if someone would only hand Baldwin a sweater.

I’m very pleased to see that Baldwin has such a reasonable view on foreign policy. The idea of Palin being in charge of our military is truly frightening.

He (Baldwin) is reading between the lines and making an political observation in an election year, and in this instance and in this case Doc. Baldwin is spot on right. BALDWIN/CASTLE 2008 OR BUST

RUSSIAN submarines armed with intercontinental ballistic missiles will
test-fire their rockets in the Pacific Ocean between September 15 and
20, a military official was quoted as saying today.

“Some missile launches will be carried out in the Sea of Okhotsk and the
Bering Sea” and will hit targets on the Kamchatka peninsula in eastern
Russia, said the unidentified official, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

A press officer for the governor of Kamchatka, a mountainous region
often used for missile tests, told RIA Novosti that local authorities
had been forewarned and would inform the local population in due course.

Russia’s Pacific Fleet, which will carry out the tests, has Delfin
nuclear submarines equipped with RSM-54 intercontinental ballistic
missiles that can reach targets as far as 8300 km away.
