Ronald Reagan has words for the Soc Cons.
“A man who is 75-80% on my side is a valued Friend and Ally, not my enemy”.
Curious Social Conservative,
What in the last 40 years have any GOP President done to stop the ever increasing number of Abortions?
I know this falls on deaf ears at with 100%ers but the fact remains, We are a Constitutional Republic that rests on the notion that the people’s Representatives in Government know how to compromise and negotiate. Your chmaping Cruz's record demonstrates a total inability to actually govern anything.
This notion that Cruz will ride into DC and dictate his 100%er terms to everyone else there is simply wishful thinking.
Really think Clinton, “Cult of Sanger and Abortion”, is going to REDUCE the number of abortions or is she going to do things that will massively increase them?
This “Never Trump” meme is the behavior of petulant children looking to spite everyone because 100% of theri desires were not granted. It has nothing at all to do with anything resembling principals or reason.
Magic state wands of fiat are not going to work in today’s America towards a desideratum of social conservatism. The pretense should have gone long ago, but it certainly is gone now.
In a pregnant moment (no pun intended, or maybe I should intend a pun) Trump spoke of revisiting Roe v. Wade. Of course to hear this is to ask how.
There are small-L libertarian takes that elevate the life of the unborn, even if they still fall shy of a full on personhood doctrine. By wisely following freedom, we can get close to where a clampdown might theoretically get us, and yet it will have a far larger carrot quotient and a far smaller stick quotient in it.
I notice the irony of a column by Sullum yesterday, supposedly elevating libertarianism in matters abortion and managing to arrive in Diamond Hard Heart City. What good is a liberty that’s based on hate? Yet he finds he has to hate. Actual moral reason might yet persuade these people.
“Never Trump” also means “ Never Cruz”
Oh they may pay lip service to a Cruz candidacy but they hate the guy and will find Hillary much easier to work with in maintaining the status quo
When you boil it down, how many times have any of us gotten 100% of the promises made during the can’tpaign? If some are so foolish to believe all the BS swirling around, well, that’s on them. Will “the wall” ever get constructed? Questionable. Will trespassers be sent packing by the bus load? Probably not. Will there be a huge economic recovery? Questionable. Will there be the possibility of some positive change? Could be. One issue voters, if you choose based on that single issue, you’re gonna be disappointed. But, I sure as hell don’t want sanders of hildebeast carrying on what the lyin’ king has started. Will I be able to put my flag back on the flag pole after November? Or will it stay folded in the closet.
