"All officers of government in this country, in every branch, at every level, have as the first obligation of their sacred oath the protection of all innocent lives within their jurisdiction.
Should I be elected to the office of President of the United States, I will keep my oath.
Justice Blackmun, in Roe vs. Wade, admitted that “of course” the child in the womb is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, if they are a person.
Since it is self-evident that they are a person, my first act as President, after having sworn the oath, will be to publish a presidential finding to that effect.
My second act will be to ask for the resignation of anyone in the executive branch who will not act accordingly.
My third act will be to order the closing of every abortion facility in the country, as per the explicit, imperative requirement of the Supreme Law of the Land.
'No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.'
'No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.'”
-- Tom Hoefling
If the shoe fits...
Seriously, driftdiver, for you to say that Ronald Reagan was pro-abort when he signed the 1967 bill like Mitt Romney was pro-abort is to make an assertion with a serious logical error.
The result of that error is a bad distortion of then-Gov. Reagan's record, and an undeserved amelioration of Mr. Romney's record as a long-time, enthusiastic supporter of a general license for abortion.
If you understand that, you have intentionally lied.
If you don't understand that, go educate yourself.

Nor am I intimidated by your nonsense, I am however bored by it.
You can’t refute the argument, so you seek to distract by attacking the poster. pretty darn lame
You should ask to have your post 51 removed for obscenity.
I didn't say you'd shown disrespect. But it's out there.
“...— as it happens, I also think your opinion is misguided.”
That's fine. That's pretty much what I think about folks who won't vote for Gov. Romney even though they know the Kenyan anti-Christ is an abomination for our country.
But although I don't mind disagreeing, I try not to be disagreeable.
I see too much of that between both sides.
“Looking at this thread and discussion versus insults, it seems to me the ledger on insults is FAR heavier on the ABO side...”
I'm not sure I'd agree. It looks ugly all over the place.
But mostly, I see anti-Romneys attack pro-Romneys and pro-Romneys attack anti-Romneys. I seldom see folks take others to task with whom they agree.
A little policing of one’s own side might make some difference.
“I believe that the fact that it is that way, that ABO folks are reduced to insults and bullying, is indicative that ABO is a bad strategy based on bad assumptions.”
I don't think I fit your pattern, here. Like the appearance of a black swan that disproves the theory that all swans are white, my presence might undermine the argument that there is something intrinsically flawed about supporting a vote for Gov. Romney.

Refute the argument? LOL, I haven’t even address ‘the argument’. sitetest appears to have you pretty well covered so I wouldn’t interrupt your tantrum, that’s all. And wipe the spittle off your shirt, you look a mess.
Oh so Reagan didn’t sign the bill into law. wow thats news you should call CNN.
or you are not telling the truth
is that the best you got?
I still haven’t addressed ‘the argument’. You seem to be getting more frustrated. Go have a cup of tea and a cookie, it’ll do you good to step away from the monitor for a spell. You’re seeing things that aren’t there.
Just that Ansell is a woman, and that she is secretly a Mitten. a smitten Mitten.
She'll deny it of course, but it's obvious to all of us she's a big Romney bot....
:-)
LOL!!
I never even saw that coming...XD
Indeed you do NOT, and folks like you, who I hope make up the majority of the ABO side, are folks I'm proud to call fellow patriots. Though I hope your black swan analogy isn't a little too close for comfort -- black swans are the exception, not the rule.
And frankly, lies and deception and denial and bullying are tools that I see ABO folks using frequently. On the other hand, folks who refuse to vote for Romney may get a little heated and emotional, but I don't see them being deliberately deceptive (as we've seen driftdiver be here with his "Reagan was pro-abortion" claims) nor do I seem them denying that it's a big gamble and that Obama is one bad dude. I think those of us who reject Romney are doing it with our eyes wide open; I also think that many who are willing to vote for Romney are doing it with their eyes squeezed shut.
The Kenyan anti-Christ is an abomination for our country.
So is Romney for the Republican party and the principles of conservatism, and therefore for our country.
I think a strategy of making whichever one wins as weak as possible is better than risking a landslide for Romney via ABO. That landslide we all know right now would be an anti-Obama mandate -- but six months into his term, many would be working hard to make that forgotten; Romney and his powerful AND WELL FINANCED cadre of Republican moderates would be framing it as a popular embrace of Romney's "progressivism," and the ONLY ones to fight that misconception would be the very ones who voted for him. Romney would view himself as "progressively" leading the GOP "into the 21st Century" with regard to "being responsible" and accepting global warming hoo-hah, while conservatives, who are not remotely as well funded as Romney, watched in helpless frustration as he advanced it with the help of moderates and Democrats.
There's a huge risk the same would happen with the issues of state-run health care, abortion, activist judges, and the homosexual agenda. Conservatives would be powerless and surprised at the positions Romney would take. They'd be kicking themselves for gambling that this guy, who is so lacking in character that he's perfectly okay with advancing abortion and extending homosexual "outreach" to 12-year-old kids, wouldn't betray them. Romney looks like a very bad risk to me.
God bless you, sitetest, and it's a pleasure FReepeing with you.
Thats the second time you’ve offered unsolicited advice. Keep it to yourself.
And you know, it's so sweet ... you two guys deserve each other!
*ducking*
I commend you EV. 400+ posts on a vanity thread for your campaign pledge. You certainly spurred a wide-ranging discussion.
Still don’t have an answer to the OPs thread do you.
What is the OPs thread?
Is it okay if I refer to you as a Romney supporter? Is it accurate for me to say that Romney is your candidate?
Got an answer?
Wow, when you go romneybot, you go all the way, you didn’t just embrace him, you embraced all of the catty nastiness of his most devoted followers.
Is it ok if I refer to you as an Obama supporter?
Incidentally ... if you’ve got something to say, say it in a post and not a FReepmail, because I usually delete, unread, any univited FReepmails from folks who are hostile adversaries on threads. :^)
