The Democrats have been surprised by several Republican attacks on their most cherished positions. The Republicans have suggested that: 1) They are true agents of change; 2) Women’s issues are not under the complete domain of the Democratic party; 3) Obama is not the only super star in the political arena; 4) In spite of all evidence to the contrary it is the GOP that best exemplifies the aspirations of Americans. Contrariwise, the Republicans are all but silent on their role in our national malaise. In fact they even go so far as to suggest that it is not the economy it’s patriotism stupid. How the Democrats respond remains to be seen.

The problem is Democrats are afraid to say boo! The boo in this campaign is that McCain obviously wants to play Commander and Chief. Democrats have got to ask him about such things as military drafts in order to replenish a weakened force and tax hikes in order to rebuild the military's hardware. If McCain's answer to all of the military situations is to kick butt then the Democratic response must be “tell us how you are going to do that” and then offer obvious ways if McCain isn't being specific. The Pentagon and the old industrial base would do anything to get this guy into Washington including having a puppet from Alaska as VP

aerdrie: Whether intelligent design should be taught in school was not a question. It is much easier however to question where Mr Biden's Catholic Faith resides. I've heard it applied to be on his sleeve since he has been chosen. I also believe for a fact that the teachings of his faith only teach that the world was created by a creator. Do you know different? Wherever you've dug up your doctrine of Christianity and his faith as well as this being out of context, I'd like to hear more.

Not supporting intelligent design and creationism does not equate to not being a Christian. Especially when you take it out of context like you did.

Neither intelligent design nor creationism should be taught in schools alongside science, because it is not science. It is Biblical studies.

Biden also used unusually strong language to ridicule those who believe in creationism or intelligent design.

“I refuse to believe the majority of people believe this malarkey!” the senior senator from Delaware exclaimed.
