“My apologies.”
No problem.
“I think you’ve reached your conclusions honestly.”
Thanks.
“I’m actually shocked to find myself disagreeing with you so strongly.”
It happens. I’m happy to go over point-by-point why I think what I think, as long as we don’t make it personal.
“My Best to you.”
You, too.

When I stated my belief that a Hillary presidency would insure as many abortions as possible (a notion which you summarily dismissed as "crap"), I was talking about what she'll do to the SCOTUS is she gets the chance. (Remember! To the Clintons, 43% of the popular vote is a mandate.)
With a Hillary presidency, we have her assurances:
"It is time for a new court."
There is no doubt what she means by that. Kennedy votes with the constructionists far too often for her liking, and she will appoint more Breyers and Ginsburgs, assuring a long, long life for Roe.
With Rudy, there is an opportunity for constructionists. He has stated that he will appoint justices in the mold of John Roberts. He has stated that he is "okay" with the overturning of Roe.
Do I believe him? I don't know..but this means that the chances exist for less abortion under Rudy. This means the chance exists for less infanticide under Rudy. This means that the chance exists for the overturning of Roe under Rudy.
These chances do not exist under a potential Hillary presidency. No matter what Congress does to mitigate abortion, Hillary will veto the measure and Congress will not be able to override...at least not in the first two years of her presidency...probably not ever.
I'll take chances for life over assurances of death any day...particularly in the short term. The long term strategy of waiting for Hillary's popularity to nosedive after two or three years is the anti-active stuff of pipedreams.
I want Fred Thompson to be our nominee. If he's not, the seeds you and others are sowing here have the potential to do irreversible long-term damage to the country. As soon as The Electoral College is abolished and Socialized Medicine is enacted, conservatives can kiss their wishes for smaller government goodbye. A new Reagan Dawn will be postponed by decades.
You don't need a crystal ball to see it. You just need to be able to play a little chess.
