No intimated. For example I pretty well explained why you are wrong on why Republicans lost in 2006 in an earlier post. As far as to how much weight we should place on a candidate's position on abortion, especially considering the president's power to affect abortion, we've been through that already. We're not going to get anywhere. I've tried to agree to disagree but with your rude, obnoxious personality, you can't do that. We may not be debating personalities but that's no reason why you can't be a respectful person. I admitted I lost my cool and apologized. Everyone does occasionally. But that was 3 weeks ago!!! I haven't lost my cool with you tonight I'm sorry your terrible personality problems won't allow you to accept the apology and move on and keep you continously harping on repentant people's mistakes like you've never made a mistake before. But I forgive you, you probably can't help it. You're mother probably didn't give you enough love as a child.
"No intimated. For example I pretty well explained why you are wrong on why Republicans lost in 2006 in an earlier post."
This should read, "No I'm not intimidated. And we did debate earlier.....
Feel better now. Your mother and my mother have no place in our debate.
You owe me an apology.
>>>For example I pretty well explained why you are wrong on why Republicans lost in 2006 in an earlier post.
What you offered was only partially right. The GOP lost control of Congress in 2006 because they ignored their conservative base. Democrats never stood with Bush on Iraq, and independents abandoned Bush on Iraq in 2005. If Bush had kept his eye on his conservative base during 2005&2006, the GOP could have weathered the gathering storm better, and probably would have held the Senate, if not the full Congress. There were obvious warning signs on the horizon and many conservatives spoke out, but they were ignored. From outrageous federal spending and expanding the welfare state bureaucracy, to illegal immigration, the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, the overall response to Hurricane Katrina and the outrageous Dubai Ports World deal. Not to mention the overall poor handling in the battle for Iraq. Bottomline. The President is ultimately responsible. Bush failed Republicans. Hastert, Frist, Boehner, Blunt... they all failed the GOP. Devastating loss. An historic loss. End of story!

You sound like a good pro-choicer. I can understand liberals agreeing with the current abortion law. I don't know of any conservatives who agree with the current abortion law.
Giuliani believes a woman has every right to kill her unborn child, under any and all circumstances. Not just the exceptions for rape, incest, or the life/health of the mother, but all circumstances. That is called supporting abortion on demand. For any decent person, its morally repugnant. Most Americans don't agree with Rudy that abortion under any circumstance is right. Giuliani also opposes a ban on partial birth abortion. Again, a repugnant medical procedure that most Americans don't agree with Rudy on. Taking a partially born child, and sucking its brians out, is something right out of the Third Reich!
You say a President has no control over the abortion issue. I disagree. Bush signed into law, a ban on partial birth abortion. The courts overruled that Presidential decision. Instead of standing with millions of other pro-lifers against the killing of 47 million human lives since 1973, you'd rather stand with someone like Rudy Giuliani. Someone who has no problem whatsoever with killing the unborn life. Pathetic!
Here's Pres Reagan's official record on the abortion issue. Aside from the ban on PBA, Pres Bush`s record is about the same.
*Reagan supported legislation that would allow for a challenge of Roe vs. Wade, while promoting a Right to Life amendment to the US Constitution.
*Reagan adopted the "Mexico City Policy" halting federal aid to private groups promoting abortions abroad.
*The Reagan admin cut off funding to the United Nations Fund for Population Activities because the global agency violated U.S. law by participating in China's mandatory abortion program.
*The Reagan admin adopted regulations prohibiting federally funded "family planning clinics" from promoting abortion as birth control.
*Reagan himself introduced the issue of fetal pain into the public debate over abortion.
*The Reagan White House blocked use of federal money for research using the tissue of aborted babies. A forerunner to banning partial birth abortion.
*The Reagan admin helped win approval of the "Danforth Amendment," which said federally funded educational institutions could not be guilty of "sex discrimination" for refusing to pay for abortions.
*The Reagan admin was key in enactment of laws protecting the right to life of handicapped newborns.
*Reagan designated a National Sanctity of Human Life Day, to recognize the value of life at all stages.
*Reagan was the first Prez to address the annual WashDC March for Life. An annual event Reagan always spoke at.
Reagan was America's first pro-life President, post Roe v Wade. His essay, "Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation" spelled out Reagan's strong pro-life position. Rudy Giuliani doesn't support Reagan's agenda on abortion or Bush`s agenda on abortion. Rudy says, you wanna kill your unborn child... GO FOR IT!
