palin and her infant

I found this reading the internet today. Social conservatives DO believe that mothers have a big role in an infants’ life during their first year, but so do their fathers.

obama vs mccain

The reviews are in from Saturday’s Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency, moderated by Pastor Rick Warren. The critics agree – John McCain’s straight talk emerged as the big winner of the night.
