Conservatives: Would you vote for this man for President?

Posted on 05/14/2009 7:54:47 AM PDT by MadIsh32

Here goes: This presidential candidate talks pro-life, but has a mixed record on abortion, including passing legislation as governor removing restrictions on abortion. In addition, the person he wants as VP is outspoken in his support of pro-choice, warning against candidates who would throw women back into back alley clinics. He talks about Christian faith, but also openly admits he very rarely goes to church. He has been a supporter of 2nd amendment rights, but also openly endorsed the Brady Bill. He wants to balance the budget partly by tax cuts, but mostly by cutting spending back to around 19% OF GDP (roughly what it was back in the 60s). He also wants a committee to oversee and review gov't regulations, and either repeal, scale back, or allow regulations based on cost benefit analyses.

I never said I was “pro-life”. Just said I believe abortion is murder.

I see. I hope you realize that by attempting to parse words, you've made yourself out to be quite the monster. Margaret Sanger would be proud of you.

"Reagan in his day was angered by Conservatives who didn’t get it, but he brought them around on both sides of the isle."

Ronald Reagan *was* a man's man as well as the other attributes you credit him. Hands down.
He was also one of --if not the last-- true "statesman" the Republic's had.
We drift aimlessly without his wisdom, patriotism and common God given decency.

Now while I'd never be fit to carry RR's water?
He & I share the one point, emboldened above.
When I pinged you fellas, I was *POed* maximus, so if I need to explain my motive?
That's it.

"Thank you my friend. I appreciate the ping to this thread very much Landru."

And I the privilege of hearing your POV, again. ;^)

Wow, if Sanford is considered a RINO “Paul clone” we may never win an election again.

LOL at that characterization. God I cannot wait till people like you are long gone and my generation (the 20somethigns and younger) can reclaim the conservative movement as being for individual liberty and a small limited gov’t.

I am now more then convinced that President Reagan would not even get the nomination from the GOP in today’s political climate

The double talk in this thread has more then convinced me of it

AS a 12th generation American and having over 12 5th great grandfathers fight in the American Revolution.
Several 3rd great grandfathers fought in the Union Army in the Civil War.
Relatives in WWI & WWII, some came home in boxes.
and on through my dad in the Korean War, and several relatives in Iraq and Afgh. right now.

Your parents came here thanks to Americans who built and fought for this country.
Don’t be a smart ass, you have no clue what the real world is about nor will you with your child like attitude.
