I deplore slavery and have been an active part of the abolitionist movement. But this November of the year of Our Lord 1860 I am voting for Stephen A. Douglas. Now I know my announcement will befuddle many Catholics who think that Abraham Lincoln is the only possible choice if you are truly as anti-slavery as I say I am. Some of my friends ask me how can I possibly support Senator Douglas when he was largely responsible for the Compromise of 1850 and supported the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision of 1857?”<br/><br/> - <em><p><a href="http://www.splendoroftruth.com/curtjester/archives/2008/10/stephen-douglas.php">Stephen Douglas 1860 - The Curt Jester</a></p> <p>An anti-slavery Catholic justifies his vote for a pro-slavery candidate a la Jonathan Swift.</p></em>http://bettnetlog.com/post/53446889http://bettnetlog.com/post/53446889Tue, 07 Oct 2008 08:12:03 -0400Of course getting an accepted offer is just the beginning especially when the close is the end of the month.http://bettnetlog.com/post/53438456http://bettnetlog.com/post/53438456Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:37:25 -0400I thought *NOT* passing the bailout bill would cause the markets to meltdown.
