I don't know why it should be difficult, they lie about everything!
Looks like the parties are starting to switch polarity. Democrats are starting to act more like Republicans and vice-versa.
Impossible. See my tagline.
some can see the handwriting on the wall.
Right. Ignore their actions for the last 30 years, if you elect they will change after they win! HONEST they will! They PROMISE you they will.
1) If nominating a Justice that may overturn R v W on Constitutional basis is such a losing issue, why are the Democrats "moderating" their tolerance on the issue of abortion?
2) I'd love to be proven wrong, but my gut instinct is that casey will say what is necessary to get elected then vote almost down the line against the pro-life position. If so, then he made a deal with the Democrats to do so, this is why they support him, and so would mean they have NOT moderated their views. Only once again lied to the people. Salazar claimed one thing, did another. Casey is likely in that mold. I'd love to be wrong, love to have him more like his father, I just sincerely doubt the Democrats have allowed someone with real convictions on pro-Life pro-Faith issues to run.
A couple weeks ago Howard Dean was on Hardball. Matthews asked him about abortion, all Dean would say was, "the Dim party is pro-choice". He wouldn't say pro-abortion. Matthews tried to get him to and he wouldn't; even Matthews was surprised.
If there are Democrats running with a pro life message, this might indicate that we are winning, and should continue to apply the pressure. But never underestimate the ability of a Democrat to say or do anything to get elected to office.
Casey will be a Pro Life senator just like Kennedy, Kerry, Durbin, Mikulski, Leahey and the rest of the Catholic Senators, i.e., I am personally against abortion but I can not force my views on anybody else. That is just like saying that I am against High taxes but I can't force my views on anybody else therefore I must raise your taxes to redistribute your income.
Let's face Santorum was far from perfect but he is a much better alternative to Casey.
santorum will offset the Likes of Snow, Collins, chaffee, et. al.
Life is so much easier when you don't have any of those pesky core values to worry about.
Robert Casey, Sr. was denied a chance to espouse pro-life values at the 1992 Democrat's National Convention. (Irony: That was the same year that William Weld was allowed to speak in favor of "pro-choice" at the Republican National Convention!)
The Casey family seems honestly pro-life.

Their message will change, never their stance.
It's window dressing, nothing more.
If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit.
Of course the Rats are misrepresenting their real position. But this reminds me of the Barbara Mandrell song that said, "I was country, when country wasn't cool."
Nixon ran to the right in the primary and ran to the middle in the general election. Could it be that the Democrats are really admitting the truth: opposition to abortion is NOT an extremist view in America after all
Correction: their strong PRO-ABORTION stance on abortion.
I think I need a BC powder now.
Ah. There's the lie.
Let's see if I can put this as succinctly as possible:
THERE IS NO LIE THAT THE LEFT WON'T TELL IN ORDER TO REGAIN POWER.
THERE IS NO DECEPTION THEY WILL NOT PERPETRATE TO REGAIN POWER.
THERE IS NO CHEAT THEY WON'T SCAM IN ORDER TO REGAIN POWER.
THERE IS NO CRIME OF MAN OR GOD THAT THEY WON'T COMMIT IN ORDER TO REGAIN POWER.
THEY ARE LIARS, CHEATS AND THIEVES WITH NO ETHICS, SCRUPLES, MORALS OR HONOR.
If abortion was so unimportant to them, it wouldn't have been the single most important litmus test faced by conservative judicial nominees for the past 30 years, they wouldn't have butchered 50 *MILLION* babies in the womb and wouldn't have created whole INDUSTRIES dedicated to the murdering of innocent AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!
Don't kid yourself anybody. They'll NEVER give up abortion as the driving force of their party. Along with environmental communism, discrimination (racism/sexism), AND HATING EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GRAET COUNTRY, that's the only thing that holds that party of freak-shows together. Without those four things, the whole thing would collapse of its own weight.
Godspeed
...until January 2007.
