I’m not opposed to the death penalty for violent criminals.

Planned Parenthood promotes socialism, so I can’t support their activities. And BTW, every single one of the aforementioned group of “students” favor a huge welfare state, and you’d be lucky to find more than a handful who are opposed to abortion. Twice as many of them means twice as many votes for more welfare and twice as many votes for utterly unrestricted taxpayer-financed abortion (that is, to the extent they go the voting route — rioting was a more popular route in NYC in the 60s and 70s, and it was quite effective in getting them the greatly expanded welfare system they demanded). Vicious circle, ain’t it?

You’re still repulsive.

It's probably a combination of two reasons:

1. There aren't any New Yorkers who care enough about the U.S. Constitution.

2. No gun rights group like the NRA wants to challenge this in Federal court out of fear that a ruling against them in trial and/or appellate court would establish a bad precedent.

"There must be public funding for abortions for poor women," Giuliani says in the speech that is posted on the video sharing site YouTube. "We cannot deny any woman the right to make her own decisions about abortion."

Okay, maybe somebody can explain away the dichotomy of this statement. If it's a right that the government must fund the exercise of, when can I expect a government program to provide sidearms to those who can't afford to exercise their Second Amendment rights?

These are the words of a "strict constructionist"? And some of you people want me to vote for this clown?

So would you support government funding of Mr. Microphones to ensure that the poor can adequately exercise their First Amendment rights?

Your post is:

1) ridiculous
2) self defeating

Except for those minor flaws, it’s par for the course.

Why do you find that so far-fetched?

Point #2 was apparently the reason why the NRA had refrained from getting involved in the recent District of Columbia gun rights case -- even to the point of refusing to file an amicus brief in the case.

No - I fully expect him to stand by his words - he always does.

He didn't stand by his words "to love, honor, and cherish...forsaking all others, until death do us part" spoken to both of his two previous wives.

I agree that a Romney/Thompson ticket would be very powerful.

So he always stands by his words, except when he doesn’t.

“Name a single POTUS who did anything to stop abortions?”

See http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/11/20031105-1.html

That is just ONE example. Many exist.
