Joe Biden Does Kentucky

Last year, Biden and his liberal brethren tried to (web site) pooh-pooh the abortion issue by claiming they voted 'Catholic' on issues like the death penalty, immigration, gun-control and increasing the minimum wage; none of which are covered by Canon Law. Said Dick Durbin with a straight face, "Unfortunately, recent media attention has focused on one or two priorities of the Catholic Church, while obscuring others."
It seems all wings of the Democratic Party--while still officially (web site) endorsing the practice of killing infants in the womb--wish the word 'abortion' would simply disappear. Interviewer Chris Matthews was amazed last week (web site) when DNC Chairman Howard Dean even balked at uttering the politically-correct term 'pro-choice': "Now, you're getting hesitant on the war and hesitant on abortion rights. It's very hard to get clarity from your party."
After seven attempts by Matthews to clarify the party's position on abortion, what was Dean's final response? "A woman and a family have a right to make up their own minds about their health care without government interference. That's our position."
Abortion as health-care and same-sex marriage as a maturation process. These are precisely the types of euphemistic deceptions that only widen the gap between Democrats and voters concerned with so-called social issues.
Meanwhile, back in Kentucky, State Senator and former Democrat Governor Julian Carroll bravely maintained, "If we define who we are, the middle class will vote Democratic again."
They'd better start saying their prayers.
