And ejonsie22 has been pretty darn straighforward all these months. Fred has his positions. We either agree with them or not. No sense in trying to make them something they are not. He may still win. He’s got solid positions on many things. I just think the federalism when it comes to the protection of human life is the absolute wrong path. An unborn child is still a child.
I agree.
I am looking for the win on this, not who's idea is best per se, or who is the most "right".
The Federalist approach may well save more lives quicker seeing as how our frontal attack is really not getting very far.
Am I speculating on all this when it comes to Fred? Yes, however I base it on two simple facts:
One he does have strong federalist leanings, but has been pro life on the national stage.
Two, he did back the partial birth abortion bill, which seems to 'betray" his federalist stance.
So where does he really stand?
He is pro life, of that I am sure.
I also think he is looking for the win as well, via any means possible. If that means pulling back on the rhetoric and looking at various options, all the better.
Sad fact is to get the win in this case literally means selling the pro life agenda to a nation that has been hardened by years of liberal thought. They need to be persuaded not preached to. I think FDT can do that given a chance. We are not getting very far the way things are going right now
It's war, and it's time for combat tactics...
