5. Thanks for clearing that up

with that thorough, well reasoned, finely crafted point. I'm glad that you included so much information.

2. He's pro choice...NEXT

[Radical Activist]

3. Always solidly pro-choice. 100% rating with choice groups.

His present votes were part of a strategy done in cooperation with pro-choice allies.
One of Barack's opponents in the US Senate primary tried to use the same attack. Hillary is borrowing those old attack lines that didn't work then either.

7. Isn't the Original Post yours?

Why post if you've already researched your answer, from albeit one source.

8. You know perfectly well that NOW is supporting Hilly and that they've been

smearing Obama and that they've been caught doing so. Nice to know that doesn't stop you from being disingenuous. Good hack job.

11. Why would NOW be "smearing" Obama? There must be reason they're displeased w/ him.

Maybe it has something to do with his voting record. Why do you think they are?

9. Why post a question you already have your own biased answer to?

It's the wrong answer, but you don't give a damn about his 100% rating with NARAL.

10. I asked the question in order to find out if there's more information out there. Apparently, not.

Being a 100% supporter of NARAL does not speak to his voting record.

13. The % rating isn't how much he supports them

It's the rating the organization gives a candidate as an advocate for their issues. Maybe that's what you meant to say and I misinterpreted?

12. he's open to changing his mind based on his religious traditions.
