I mute the TV when her and the ilk like her come on, what in God's name make people act like her? The moron that called Rush from Ithaca Friday they are Bush haters and just coo-coo.

Gadzooks! Don't you know Picksley has twice the dead voters Hooterville has?

Cut Dad some slack, Sam. He just took a dose of Cialis on another thread...

"The strident voice told us that if Roe was overturned, the Republican party was in deep trouble and out of power."

While we Republicans certainly appreciate Mz. Ratner and the MSM attempting to assist our party's success, we've done quite well over the past 13 years without them, thank you.

The REAL reason these talking points exist has nothing to do with abortion. The Dems couldn't care less about that issue, other than using it to scare women into voting for them. No the real fear on the part of the Dems is that if Roe is overturned, two things will happen: (1) The sun will rise in the East tomorrow (i.e., the country will be just fine and the Dems will be fully exposed for their lies that they used for decades to scare this country); and, more importantly (2) the Dems will lose their strongest card in their deck (i.e., being the courts) to turn this country into the pig-sty that Europe has become. Even worse than that for them, a couple of conservative rulings on states rights and we could wind up with a federal government that only does what the Constitution allows (and requires), which is essentially national defense, border control, foreign policy, and federal courts (roughly 30% of today's federal budget).

That is the real Democratic fear - the end of an oppressive federal government. Abortion is just a convenient tool to keep that government in place.

With Alito and Roberts on the Court, we need just ONE more justice, and we very well may see that day - and the Dems FULLY understand that.

.....That is the real Democratic fear .......

My take was she was expressing that fear by making the three year olds threat "I won't invite you to my birfday!"

I am repulsed when Jews, of ALL people want babies killed soooooooo badly they are blinded to anything else. It truly makes me sick.

Those particular Jews are Jews by accident of birth, not by faith; kind'a like Hitler was Christian.

Sounds like Cindy Sheehan...

What do the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor have to do with it?

The strident voice told us that if Roe was overturned, the Republican party was in deep trouble and out of power.

So, from this we are to assume that in Ratner's view one should compromise on a deep core issue like protecting human life just to hold on to power. It's what seperates most Republicans from Democrats. I am willing to see the Republicans out of power if it means Roe V. Wade is overturned. People like Ratner are such shallow thinkers they can't comprehend the underlying message of their statements. In any case, I think the Republicans would gain from Roe V. Wade being overturned. The country and millions of babies would gain, as well.

You hit all the right nails on the head.

I'm sure you were being sarcastic, but the way history is taught in school today, you never know!

[small voice in the wilderness]

;) Yes, an obscure reference to Bluto's Animal House tirade!

[Chanticleer]

Ah, yes! How could I forget? :-)

Well, Ellen, you know what they say: When your adversary is hell-bent on destroying himself, just get out of the way and let it happen!

Well, there are millions of Americans who will not even consider voting for a Dem because of Roe.

When your adversary is hell-bent on destroying himself, just get out of the way and let it happen!

That's why we do so enjoy Sen. Swimmer's, Francois Kerri's, Dizzy Dean's, Howling Hillary's, et. al., rants.
