And more importantly, buy cialis ampoule they have pledged to me that as President of the United States they will make ending poverty and economic inequality central to their Presidency. This is the cause of my life and I now have their commitment to engage in this cause.
The only economic system I’ve ever heard of that tried to achieve “economic equality” was communism, and we all saw how well that worked out.

Do you think folks like Kennedy, best cialis remedy Gore, best viagra search etc…are endorsing Barack Obama because they want him to win, or because they think he’s going to win?

Obama winning South Carolina isn’t the big news, discount viagra prostate Edwards losing it is.
Edwards finished a distant third, a sharp setback in the state where he was born and scored a primary victory in his first presidential campaign four years ago. Even so, he vowed to remain in the race, his goal, he said, to “give voice to all those whose voices aren’t being heard.”

They are all brutally efficient campaigners with little regard for the truth.
They’ll do and say whatever it takes to get into power and stay in power.
Oddly enough, cialis canada tadalafil I think this makes them more likely to govern from the middle once they do get elected than the base of their party would prefer.
After all, politicians don’t get fired for not doing anything. Just ask Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.

This is an absolutely amazing viagra generic sale 0, ampoule 7688545.story?coll=la-opinion-rightrail”>editorial to appear on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade:
In the 1970s, the arguments were simple and polarized: Abortion was either murder or a woman’s right to control her body. The fetus, however, stayed largely invisible. The pro-choice movement stayed on the message offensive, tactically shifting in 1989 from women’s bodies to the “who decides” question posed by NARAL Pro-Choice America. But this was rapidly parried by the anti-choice demand that we look at what was being decided, not just who was deciding.
Science facilitated the swing of the pendulum. Three-dimensional ultrasound images of babies in utero began to grace the family fridge. Fetuses underwent surgery. More premature babies survived and were healthier. They commanded our attention, and the question of what we owe them, if anything, could not be dismissed.These trends gave antiabortionists an advantage, and they made the best of it. Now, we rarely hear them talk about murdering babies. Instead, they present a sophisticated philosophical and political challenge. Caring societies, they say, seek to expand inclusion into “the human community.” Those once excluded, such as women and minorities, are now equal. Why not welcome the fetus (who, after all, is us) into our community?
Advocates of choice have had a hard time dealing with the increased visibility of the fetus. The preferred strategy is still to ignore it and try to shift the conversation back to women. At times, this makes us appear insensitive, a bit too pragmatic in a world where the desire to live more communitarian and “life-affirming” lives is palpable. To some people, pro-choice values seem to have been unaffected by the desire to save the whales and the trees, to respect animal life and to end violence at all levels. Pope John Paul II got that, and coined the term “culture of life.” President Bush adopted it, and the slogan, as much as it pains us to admit it, moved some hearts and minds. Supporting abortion is tough to fit into this package.

Hillary and Bill Clinton have used every means they could think of to demean and diminish Barack Obama, buy cialis generic but when Obama disputes their attacks, best cialis online he’s the one ‘looking for a fight’.

McCain takes South Carolina;
Clinton, discount cialis tadalafil Romney win in Nevada

I heard Obama talk about this on NPR the other day:
Obama began by recalling a moment in Tuesday night’s debate when he and his rivals were asked to name their biggest weakness. Obama answered first, cialis canada help saying he has a messy desk and needs help managing paperwork – something his opponents have since used to suggest he’s not up to managing the country. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards said his biggest weakness is that he has a powerful response to seeing pain in others, hospital and Clinton said she gets impatient to bring change to America.
“Because I’m an ordinary person, I thought that they meant, ‘What’s your biggest weakness?'” Obama said to laughter from a packed house at Rancho High School. “If I had gone last I would have known what the game was. And then I could have said, ‘Well, ya know, I like to help old ladies across the street. Sometimes they don’t want to be helped. It’s terrible.'”
And like Wisconsin law blogger Ann Althouse it made me like him.
Intellectually, I understand that I wouldn’t like any of this man’s proposed solutions. Emotionally, I’d love to take the guy to lunch.
By the way, how freaking lame are those answers anyway. I’ve always thought people who advise interviewees to answer that question by turning it into a strength were lame and I would apply the same label to any candidate (like Edwards and Clinton) who followed that advice.
