This is very good news, indeed.
Thanks to the power of the internet, the "little" people have a way to fight back against the greed and malevolent influence of the special interest groups.
Our $3 trillion dollar federal budget needs to be seriously examined in the light of the Gospel.
As the saying goes, "WWJD." What would Jesus do and say about our fiscal priorities were He to sit down with our appropriators in the Beltway?
That's why nobody seriously believes that anything of real substance will change in Washington until and unless we vote for a president seriously committed to breaking with the misplaced priorities of the status quo.
We don't need more partisanship or rancor in Washington; rather, we need men who take to heart as a matter of conscience the directives of the Popes to build a society of justice, love, and peace where the principle of Solidarity reigns supreme.

Oh great. Just what we need, someone to take away votes from McCain and put Obama in the White House. When that happens, I hope you are all satisfied. You might as well vote for Obama. In case you haven't noticed, McCain has an excellent record of bipartisanship.
Unbelievable.
Anonymous, some of us have come to realize over the past eight years that the lesser of two evils is still evil. I, for one, want not part in evil.
You are quite right; "McCain has an excellent record of bipartisanship," and it is on that record of cosponsoring much of the worst legislation of the past generation that conservatives repudiate him. Let the Democrats, whose legislation he has championed and cosponsored, vote for him.
Bob Barr recently told The Associated Press that if John McCain doesn’t win, it’s because McCain is running on the wrong issues:
"If Senator McCain is not successful, it will be because his message and his vision did not resonate with a plurality of the voters."
And he is absolutely right. The Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party has decided they can win with Hillary supporters and McCain's admirers in the media, and without conservatives.
They repudiate the policies of Reagan and the coalition he built. They will lose, and fortunately, when they do, Democrats will be blamed for bad policy, and not the Republican Party for the equally bad policies of John McCain.
