In 2004, Kerry lost Ohio partly because they sent in MoveOn activists from outside the state to "help organize" and their strident ideological tone just offended the local swing voters. Obama did not make that mistake in 2008 and carried the state. Getting your most extreme elements to stand up and shout may sound like a good cheerleading program, but it just doesn't work in the American political game.

In movies, we've seen heads blown off, people decapitated, limbs torn, hearts pulled out and just about every form of torture imaginable. Hollywood seems to thrive on showing the strangest forms of ugliness humans can perpetuate on one another. However, what we've never seen is a partial birth abortion. Or abortion of any kind in detail. I considered posting a picture of one, but the heinous nature of it prevented me. What kind of strange form of hypocricy can exist in a person to be shocked at the inhumanity of placing a terrorist killer in a box with a caterpillar, or dunking them in the water, but supports the decapitation of a living, breathing baby? Or like Obama, support legislation that prevents someone from comforting a baby aborted but still alive? These are strange contradictions from people who proport to care about humanity and how it treats the weakest among us.
