Decision to address conference is labeled 'a diplomatic faux pas'

WASHINGTON // Assistant Secretary of State Ellen R. Sauerbrey, whose socially conservative views came in for scrutiny when President Bush picked her for the diplomatic post, is being criticized for her plan to speak at a conference in Poland for opponents of abortion and same-sex marriage.

Nineteen members of the European Parliament have asked Sauerbrey to reconsider her scheduled appearance at the World Congress of Families next month in Warsaw.

The members of the European Parliamentary Working Group on Separation of Religion and Politics say that several people scheduled to speak at the three-day conference have taken positions that clash with the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.

In a letter to Sauerbrey, they point to Roman Catholic Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, head of the Pontifical Council for the Family, who suggested that condoms were of limited use against the spread of HIV - comments that were swiftly condemned by the World Health Organization - and Steven W. Mosher, whose Population Research Institute says that Muslims and other immigrants are contributing to the "demographic destruction" of Europe.

2. Show's the type of people republicans pick

Before the dumb butt republicans picked her to run for governor in Maryland she was a stupid nut running around congress in Maryland.

They showed a meeting of congress on PPBS one time when they were debating a subject, I forget which. The representatives all stood up and gave them views, and got to speak several times. Every time Sauerbrey got to speak she kept mentioning that they did this is in Mass. they did that in Mass. After about three turns the speaker said...Ms. Sauerbrey, for your information we all happen to be in the state of Maryland and not Mass. That shut her up. She is stupid..stupid stupid. Typical republican.
