It Is Always Negotiable

Here is why I love The Catholic Channel on Sirius Satellite Radio. Yesterday, I was listening to the program, Across the Nation, hosted by Bob Dunning. He was saying that he didn't know for whom he would vote for President. Of course, people were calling in to say that his soul would be in jeopardy if he voted for a pro-abortion candidate. One caller made reference to the supposed "five non-negotiable issues": abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, human cloning and homosexual marriage. Dunning reminded the caller that neither Obama nor McCain were on board with all five of these issues. Of course, the caller then said that voters must then pick the candidate that will do the least amount of damage related to the five issues. Dunning then approriately reminded the caller that doing so represents negotiation. If all five of the issues are truly non-negotiable, then we must vote for a candidate that is on board with all five of the issues. The caller's response was a dial tone.
