John Heilemann's article about the devaluation of the McCain brand in New York Magazine validates a thought I've had -- that the kindergarten sex-education ad was where the McCain campaign really jumped the shark. It was so obviously contrived and cynical that henceforth McCain would have a hard time getting the benefit of the doubt.The selection of Palin. The lipstick-pig imbroglio. The ad

A recent Republican campaign ad sarcastically described as Barack Obama's "one accomplishment" his supporting a bill to promote sex education in kindergarten. During an interview of a Republican spokesman, Tom Brokaw of NBC News replayed that ad and asked if that was something serious to be discussed in a presidential election campaign. It was a variation on an old theme about getting back to "the...

These folks sound more like me than the pro-lifers I know, but they are pro-life and supporting Barack Obama. The key issues are pre-natal care, health care, and support for adoption. I would cite all of those elements plus better sex education, and pre-natal support for the mother-to-be.

This is my column today. There is little doubt that the Catholic Church, which is an institution that is highly steeped in centuries-old traditions and dogma, is often out of touch with reality. The Church’s staunch opposition to contraception, sex education, and empowering families, couples, and women are not the only indicators of the growing irrelevance of the Catholic Church. There are a number...

Fasten your seat belts. If you thought this Republican campaign was hitting below the belt the last few months, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Forget “comprehensive sex education for kindergartners,” forget “raising taxes on families who make $42,000,” forget “voting against our troops.” McCain is moving his campaign onto a level that will make Willy [...]

Susan Martinuk, Calgary Herald: So . . . two priests walk into a bar. Oops, wrong joke. So . . . two priests walk into the Ministry of Education. One priest says, "I'm registering a complaint. I don't like the way you teach sex education and talk so freely about sexuality in English, health and biology courses. The way you present these topics fails to affirm our deeply-held religious beliefs and...

The moderate-conservative blogger writes : "What I’m far more interested in seeing is the sex education models in countries whose pregnancy and infection rates are lower than ours. Regardless of which model of sex education a person prefers, I think we can all agree that the pregnancy and infection rates are too high. With that in mind, we need to find a model that actually works, not just a model...

Here’s McCain, barely able to contain his rage when talking to the editorial board of the Des Moines Register. And did he really say that he’s never lied? He ran an ad accusing Obama of trying to teach comprehensive sex education to kindergarteners that was false from start to finish. And McCain came right [...]

As I’ve long suspected, condom usage is not solely about sex education. According to the Brown Daily Herald, many teens who don’t use condoms despite knowing the dangers, fail to do so because of the decreased stimulation and/or because of their partner’s expectations. It’s not for a lack of knowledge, it’s a failure [...]

Olbermann last night on McCain's temperment: To me this was the most telling exchange, about the ad McCain ad claiming Obama was in favor of comprehensive sex education for kindergartners. (a bill supported by the PTA, btw). Q: How can you go about building trust, without, I would content, absolute 100% truth? McCain: "Because I have always had 100% absolute truth , and that's been my life of putting...
