Unprincipled endorsements risk aborting prolife cause - ALAN KEYES
Loyal to Liberty ^ | May 7, 2010 | Alan Keyes

Posted on 05/07/2010 6:53:08 PM PDT by EternalVigilance

Fiorina said abortion rights would not be her litmus test for approving a Supreme Court nominee.

In November, while speaking at an event sponsored by the conservative magazine the American Spectator, Fiorina said she “probably would have voted for” Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to the court. Sotomayor has said she considers abortion rights to be an issue settled by the court.

On Friday, Fiorina said, “I do not believe where a potential judicial nominee stands on that issue is a qualifier or an unqualifier [sic].”

She added that while “many, many voters are going to conclude while that is a very important issue, it is frankly a decided issue,” she said.

“The law is clear in the state of California, where there is a constitutional guarantee to the right to an abortion. So why are we talking about a theoretical issue?”

Carly Fiorina is a “golden parachute enriched” endowed competing to be the California GOP’s nominee against leftist Democrat Barbara Boxer in November’s general election. She claims to be pro-life. She has been endorsed by such reputedly pro-life groups as Susan B. Anthony’s list and the California Pro-life Council (the California affiliate of National Right to Life as well as Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn. Yet nothing in her public life or statements justifies these supposedly prolife endorsements. Indeed, the publicly available evidence utterly contradicts them. Her supposed prolife stand reminds me of Obama’s infamous birth certificate. Though the available evidence doesn’t justify what we are being told about it, we should accept it as a fact because others claim to have seen what we cannot.

Carly Fiorina has been endorsed by the National Right to Life, the California Pro-Life Council, and the Susan B. Anthony List. She is pro-life, pro-traditional marriage,

And a candidate who can win unlike yours.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. Getting Fiorina, if she has a good chance to win, is FAR better than getting a perfect conservative who has no potential as a candidate. In many areas we can demand both from a candidate, but we’re talking California. Fiorina is not my favorite or even close, but she’s the best we’re likely to get in CA and far better than six more years of Boxer.

Maybe if she wheels some cabbage patch dolls smeared with red paint around in baby carriages she’ll get a pass.

You didn't vote in 2008? If you did, I presume you voted for the least worst candidate.

What has Alan Keyes ever won? Some people lead by example and others just run their mouth. He’s no more credible than Jesse Jackson.

I may be wrong, but I think Fiorina is basically pro-life.

She’s adopted the fake McCain language almost verbatim, (including the Ron Paul pro-choice for states nonsense). And I believe her about as much as I believe McCain. Which is not at all.

Good post, I agree 100%. What is truly frightening is that many can't see that flogging a dead horse is an activity best left for idiots. Devore can't win, heaven knows he's had every opportunity to get traction ... so, next step, what do we do? Whine about principles and let the RINOs or democrats take over. I wouldn't call Campbell even a Republican, yet we have a moron like Keyes supporting Campbell indirectly.

If Keyes is your poster boy, boy! Good luck with that EternalVigilance.

What sort of moron attacks one republican in a race when the other likely winner is PRO ABORTION!

Well, I guess she’s got you fooled.

Of course, perhaps you want to be fooled.

Maybe you should point out to your buddy that Campbell’s campaign page is proudly pro-abortion. Bit selective in criticism, eh?

Whatever. Personally I don’t even like any the choices.

You don’t accept how hypocritical Keyes is in attacking the second placed runner in the primary, when the first placed currently in the polls is PROUDLY pro-abortion, no reservations.

And you think I’m fooled! Your a joke man, and manipulative to boot. Don’t trust manipulators personally, sorry.

Winning has never been a good argument for Keyes either.

You ignore the fact that conservatives supported the opponents of those candidates.

DeVore does not have the money to compete against Boxer and he's been in the race for 11 months. 11 months and he has raised only $300,000 to show for it. In fact, he's actually in debt about $100,000.

If DeVore couldn't raise money from the Tea Parties and grassroots, how can he defeat Boxer.
