As the final snips were applied to my haircut today, I said to the stylist, "this is the last haircut that I will have before the presidential election. This is the very haircut that I will take into the voting booth."
Yep. It's down to 'the last.'
The last haircut, the last college football Saturday and NFL Sunday, the last Sunday worship service, the last Monday before the presidential election.
It's the last hurrah for John McCain (and hopefully moderate Republicanism as well).
It may also be the last gasps for capitalism, federalism, original intent, and American sovereignty.
And it most literally will soon be the last gasps for millions more unborn (or partially born) babies.

Woody,
do you REALLY think that the rate of abortion is going to increase that much? I mean - really.
Last time I looked at his plan, he is way more committed to pregnancy prevention than termination.
I realize that this is a sensitive issue for many and I try to remain appreciative of that fact but to position it as you did in the last sentence of your post is a bit dramatic, don't you think?
Blogs are all about the drama. As are political columns. Hyperbole lives!
I think that Obama talks 'moderate' on his abortion platform but he his voting record is among the most extreme in the U S Senate. Failing to protect the life of born-alive, botched-abortion baby is really off the charts in my book.
As to the abortion rate - I think that abortion will remain legal in the majority of cases regardless of who is elected president (and who is appointed to the Supreme Court), it is the settled law of the land. Abortion then is usually one in a series of moral choices made by the person choosing to get it. So, perhaps by different reasoning, I agree with you. The abortion rate is determined by individual choices - not the president.
Still, I prefer a person who clearly stands on the side of protecting the most vulnerable in our society - both young and old.
"And furthermore" - his position on abortion / life is one of the reasons that I supported RON PAUL!
RON PAUL!
RON PAUL!
RON PAUL!
