Back to Back to Back to Back….

Before tackling today's subject, a quick reminder where we have been recently. Or, more specifically, the many roads down which pro-abortion Democrats have skulked in their attempt to prove that no matter how bad we say they are, they are actually worse.

Yesterday we discussed how Obama surrogate, pro-abortion Missouri Senator Claire McCaskell, told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that the public is "going to find out that this is a ticket [McCain/Palin] that wants to put women in prison for having an abortion after they have been raped."

A few days ago, Carol Fowler, the chairwoman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, told the Politico's Alex Burns that Gov. Palin's "primary qualification seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion."

And, of course, there have been gazillion even uglier smears against Gov. Palin.

Writing on the Atlantic magazine blog, Marc Ambinder informed us "In memos, e-mails and phone calls this week, Obama campaign officials have urged surrogates and allies to mention Republicans who are 'nervous' about the Palin pick and to link those worries to George McGovern's aborted vice presidential pick of Thomas Eagleton in 1972, according to three Democratic surrogates. That year, McGovern rescinded the pick after learning that Eagleton had been treated for depression. Questions about the thoroughness of the Palin vet have been raised, particularly about how and when Palin disclosed the news that her teenage daughter is pregnant and whether Palin's political resume had been thoroughly scrubbed."

Pro-abortion Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden got his two cents worth in as well. After declaring that discussion of families (particularly children) was "off limits," he used the example of children with "a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect" as a political prop to criticize Republicans. Worse yet, feigning innocence, he insisted he was not talking about Gov. Palin, whose four-month-old baby, Trig, was born with Down syndrom

[Near the bottom of the barrel were the comments of Fox News' Alan Colmes. Colmes used his Web site "Liberaland" to raise the question: "Did Palin Take Proper Pre-Natal Care?" Since pulled, the column suggested that by taking a flight close to her delivery date, Sarah somehow contributed to, if not caused, Trig's Down syndrome.]

But that, of course, is simply Hysteria 101. It tells us how "extreme" McCain and Palin are on abortion. But Biden, never short on words, also makes (as it were) the affirmative case for the Democratic ticket. In other words it's not just that the Republicans are terrible on "choice," the Democrats are awesome.

Lest it gets forgotten, in a South Carolina debate last year among the Democratic presidential candidates, Biden bragged about defeating the eminent constitutional scholar Judge Robert Bork, nominated by President Reagan for a seat on the Supreme Court in 1987. Unless you are old enough to have actually watched the onslaught against Bork, you can't possibly grasp how vicious was the smear campaign.

Specifically, Biden said in that April 26, 2007, debate, "I strongly support Roe v. Wade. … I would make sure that the people I sent to be nominated for the Supreme Court shared my values; and understood that there is a right to privacy in the United States Constitution. That's why I led the fight to defeat Bork. Thank God he is not in the court or Roe v. Wade would be gone by now."

As we get closer and closer to November 4, the attacks on the pro-life team of McCain and Palin will grow in ferocity and inaccuracy. That's bad enough. Even worse is that at the same time we will be assured that pro-abortion senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the very epitome of moderation on abortion.

We need to dispel the lies about McCain and Palin and make sure that the truth about Obama and Biden is made known to the American people.
