People who hold unwaveringly to specific ideologies (on the right or the left) even when they fly in the face of all logic are scary, and this vote makes me wonder if Obama is one of those people.
Understood and yes, Obama is one of these people. That he would support infanticide should confirm it.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but isn't NARAL a one issue political group? If even this group that seems to only care about a woman's right to abort a pregnancy doesn't agree with Obama on this, you are correct that it is indefensible.

Or should I again say evil?
