Hopefully, this will finish him off.

Perhaps life is good in the ‘campaign’ of the Mittster, but it definitely is not for all those alive unborn children Mitt assisted in allowing the slaughter of with taxpayer funding in Massachusetts. What a guy, what a pro-life (Mitt’s life) guy. Those alive unborn must have been ‘leftovers’ or ‘extras’ like he stamped the alive embryos in IVF clinics not implanted in human uteruses. We just haven’t learned how to have Mormon-think, er, Mitt-think, have we Reaganesque.

Assuming I have any idea what this convolution means, let’s extend it to a TRUE MEASURE of conservative thought.
Why, precisely now, not generally, why are the stalwart pro Life chest thumping conservative candidates for President not out firebombing abortion clinics at night when there is no danger of killing anyone? Why aren’t they on the sidewalks blocking entrance and getting arrested? And why aren’t you insisting that whoever your favorite ultra pro Life candidates are do this? Why do you acquiesce in the murder?
Let’s toss out the answers. It’s against the law. So what? What sort of TRUE PASSION is stopped by an immoral law? How can you possibly support a candidate who isn’t even willing to go to jail for his commitment to principle and passion?
Need maneuvering room? Sure, here is some. Because as president maybe he can do far more for the unborn than he can as a passionate firebrand blocking a sidewalk.
Now, after that is assimilated, let’s consider the two scenarios. One person won’t compromise his principles. He sits on that sidewalk and he blocks entrance. The other rationalizes his own abject failure to do so by claiming that he does not do so because being in jail is not an attribute the electorate finds attractive. Convenient rationale, that, and it lets the manufacturer of it sleep in comfortable hotel rooms rather than jail cells.
The point of all this is what? It is to show you the politics has a spectrum. it is not absolute. YOU have failed to refuse support to a candidate who does not make some personal sacrifices for the unborn. YOUR candidate has a squishy position on abortion. It is rightward of many other positions. It is leftward of some.
