So you would approve a dictatorship....so long as the dictator agreed with you?

BlackElk pretty much restated the long held Republican position in favor of a constitutional amendment protecting life. It's in the platforms. Yes, the dems are opposted, and since he hasn't supported it, it's reasonable to assume that Ron "take the kid across the state line to Planned Parenthood" Paul doesn't suupport it either.

You should read the platforms if you're going to post about Republican positions, since they're not much like Ron Paul positions, despite his attempts to somehow arrogate his 1% or 2% to being representative of the GOP.

There's nothing about dictatorship in the platform.

You are incorrect. I took BlackElk's post that he wants a federal bill, not an amendment.

FYI you are even more incorrect about Ron Paul not supporting a Pro Life amendment.

See here

I have become increasingly concerned over the years that the pro-life movement I so strongly support is getting further off track, both politically and morally. I sponsored the original pro-life amendment, which used a constitutional approach to solve the crisis of federalization of abortion law by the courts. The pro-life movement was with me and had my full support and admiration.

Foot in mouth?

The Republicans sure have acted on it, didn't they? How about taking the approach Bush did, making speeches about life, appointing pro-life judges, and signing the partial-birth abortion ban? Waiting for a Constitutional Amendment means more babies die when at least some of them can be saved by overturning Roe vs Wade, or supporting Paul's HR 1094 which would have taken the federal courts out of it completely.

Ron "take the kid across the state line to Planned Parenthood" Paul doesn't suupport it either.

Nice smear. Paul voted against it because knew the bill would have been shot down by some lefty judge anyway. You don't have any idea on how to advance an agenda, do you? I'll take the Paul approach over the hail-mary approach Republicans want to use as bait for the conservative base every presidential and mid-term election.

Nor was there anything about dictatorship in my post to which reference was made by Grunthor. I think Grunthor is trying to be fair, wants me to be what he considers "fair" to Dr. Demento. I think I am quite fair to Dr. Demento but I disagree with Grunthor on that. I also suspect that Grunthor is not a fan of paleoPaulie but Grunthor can speak for himself on that more authoritatively than I can speak for him.

You hit the nail on the head in observing that paleoPaulie would have no problem with the Planned Barrenhood Express taking young girls across statelines to states where aortionwould be, ummmm, "federalistically" allowed. After all, what's another 50 million to infinity sliced, diced and hamburgerized babies compared to disagreeing with paleoPaulie's eccentric "libertarian" "constitutional" imaginings????

Soon enough, paleosurrenderman will be an obscure historical footnote soon forgotten as the irrelevancy that he is and always has been.
