Rudy to Pro-Lifers: Get Over It [Rich Lowry]
Wow. Rudy puts a Pete Wilson/Arlen Specter spin on his own candidacy:
Giuliani made his sharpest case for moving beyond social issues this weekend in Iowa, telling The Des Moines Register, "Our party is going to grow, and we are going to win in 2008 if we are a party characterized by what we're for, not if we're a party that's known for what we're against."
Asked about abortion, he said, "Our party has to get beyond issues like that."
Got that pro-life Republicans?
Loud and clear
Here's the deal. We had Reagan 1 (pro-life), Reagan 2 (pro-life), GHW Bush (pro-life), Clinton 1 (pro-death), Clinton 2 (pro-death), GW Bush 1 (pro-life), GW Bush 2 (pro-life)...and we still have abortion.
Why do we have an abortion litmus test when apparently a POTUS can do absolutely nothing about abortion?
I see this attack on Rudy constantly and it has never made sense to me.
