Regular Guy Paul on Barack Obama: "Nice is Different Than Good"

Please take the time to read Paul's post on the somewhat less sleazy of Illinois' 2 U.S. Senators, Barack Obama:

In the musical, Into The Woods, Little Red Riding Hood sings of what she learned in her adventure with the wolf, who had been so nice to her initially, summing up her lesson with the words, "nice is different than good".

In his column this morning, Paul Weyrich has some nice things to say about the nice Senator from Illinois ...

***
Senator Obama, in one of the debates with his opponent during his last campaign, asserted that "no one is for abortion". I've asked here many times, but I would still like to know, the practical difference, in terms of voting records, of a politician like Obama who is "personally opposed, but", and a hypothetical "pro-abortion" politician. Given that Obama, while a state senator, three times opposed legislation that would have protected babies who had been born alive from being aborted anyway, I can't see that there would be much difference.

***
Perhaps the Nice Senator from Illinois would like to change this. If so, he'll need to make sure his positions are informed by his faith, rather than the other way 'round. A good start would be to apply his prodigious intellect to thinking of a principle, accessible to all, on which to hang his claimed personal opposition to abortion. I can promise him, and you, that they exist.

My Comments:
Nice post, Paul.

And should anyone want to continue to believe the fiction that the junior Senator from Illinois is "nice", they might want to read Jill Stanek's response to Barack Obamination's USAToday piece
