"The false assumptions you make about me personally..."

I had specifically stated that I was making a reasonable presumption. At any rate, the class of people with whom I have complaint are very very clearly present in this forum, indeed in this thread.

"I understood what you meant the first time around, before the lengthy explanation. I just didn't agree. I still don't."

Ok. But a "lengthy explanation" creates, at a minimum, the possibility for debate. To say "I just don't agree" is a statement I infer means, "I can't defend my position". Or am I being unreasonable?

TO ME, those who say, "a 'mildy pro-choice' person is a RINO" are being juvenile and/or naive at the best, and falsely self-righteous at the worst, and in both cases counter-productive to the goal they claim to value.

While to say so and leave it at that would be divisive and unproductive, I am willing to debate the matter and explain my reasoning, as I feel I've done, at least in summary.

Are you? (or any other "pro-choicers are RINO's" readers?)

And THE REASON I am willing to discuss it here, is because I would like to further the Republican party, for a very many reasons, including but not limited to the fact that I would like to see abortions per pregnancies to continue declining over time.

Is that a concern of yours, as well?

PS: Whatever I appeared to assume of you, I retract it if I was wrong. Meanwhile, I have been labelled a RINO, for THE SOLE REASON that I would advocate Condi in the case where she is the only hope against Hellery. To me, THAT accusation is an infantile absurdity which is NOT reasonable as a presumption, let alone a conclusion. It is not often I feel like I'm taking on the role of "the martyr", but in this case, in this thread, I think (?) that I am taking a position which is very isomorphic to that of the sole conservative on something like The Bill Maher Show, attempting to promote an unpopular position which advances conservative values, while receiving only meaningless quips in return.
