Project for the week: go through the site with the kids and sort out the FACTS. I went through them briefly this morning, and to me it’s still a no-brainer — I’m voting Catholic, period… and that means pro-life. But it’s really educational to see what was spun and what wasn’t; where the candidates really stand on issues. From there you can decide which ones are PRIORITY for you and which ones are lower on the rung. I am thankful that the pro-life/pro-choice position doesn’t seem to lend itself easily to “spin”… they’re either for or against something, and what’s on those sites is how I understood the candidates’ positions to be.
