Actually, the "borrow, borrow, borrow, cut taxes, and spend, spend, spend, and spend some more" is the motto of the Bush administration. You are presumptuous if you think that I am in favor of runaway spending. Indeed, I think that owing China so much money has undermined our position in the world and neutered us in the face of China's participation in the genocide in Darfur, human rights abuses in Tibet, perpetual threatening of Taiwan, dishonest estimations of the value of its currency, and flagrant pollution. Thanks to runaway spending, we go to meetings with the Chinese hat in hand as debtors. The blame for the ballooning budget deficit and national debt rests squarely on the Republican Congress (and the Democratic Congress the past two years) and the Bush administration. No bid contracts for cronies of the Bush administration have contributed to this, but no one said anything. I want to end the illegal occupation of Iraq which costs at least 10 billion dollars a month, I want to reform the Department of Defense because it cannot be allowed to run with such inefficiency so that it busts our budget every year, I want to hold to account all of those companies that have taken money from the taxpayers to rebuild our infrastructure (bridges, highways, railroads, light rail, subways, etc.) and force them to return the money with interest or hire Americans to build them. You obviously have no idea how I feel about the budget, obviously. I do not believe in runaway spending.

As for pro-choice judges, I am holding out hope. There Justices Souter, Ginsberg, Kennedy are ripe for retirement. But, there are dozens of seats on the appellate bench that need filling and I hope Obama picks the most pro-choice judges he can find. I also want judges who are in favor of civil rights for all everyone who is on American soil.

You are obviously unhappy with the prospect of Obama selecting judges who would defer to my right to make decisions about my body. One of the reasons I decided to eventually come to accept Obama as a nominee was the fact that I knew McCain and Palin would move to alter the federal bench so much that my metaphorical great granddaughter's body would still be under federal jurisdiction. I think that Obama supporters have every right to be angry if he renegs on his promise to protect my right to choose.

Now, you made some sarcastic remarks about abortion and you went on an uninformed diatribe about my views on the budget. I want to merge these topics and ask you a question.

By the way, you seem to be very concerned with interfering with my body. While I would kick you in the face if I saw you between my legs during my visit to my OB/GYN or anyplace else, I am interested in your "pro-life" stance.

1. Are you in favor of the death penalty?

2. Do you defy the position of both medicine and the law and believe that there is no distinction between brain and cardiac death (meaning, are you opposed to taking someone off of life support)?

3. Do you believe in palliative care or do you think doctors should flog patients who have no hope of survival by forcing them to endure endless treatment?

4. Would you support the government fully financing the entire life of someone whose mother wanted to abort him/her, but was saddled with the child because you thought you knew better and took away her right to choose? Would you support the government paying for that person to have good housing, access to top notch health care, top notch schooling through graduate school should s/he want to go that far in education, absolving that person from all taxes, and paying for that person through out his/her whole life?

I ask these questions to determine whether you are merely pro-life or pro-birth. Life is a lot more than the one second that marks your debut on earth.

Please answer.
