True, but for a while here the talking points of the Condistas was that Condi Rice is "libertarian" on abortion.

Libertarian in that she wants the states to decide whether they should ban it or not and the federal government should not be involved in that decision.

Unfortunately I see there's some freeper on this thread still trying to sell people on the premise that Condi's pro-abortion views are "Exactly the same" as Bush's views on abortion.

They are the same and no one has found any statement of hers indicating anything else.

"The president has been in exactly the right place about [abortion]."

Since WHEN has Libertarianism called for states to decide whether or not to ban abortion? I was not aware any libertarian think tank has stated such a position on abortion. I can site hard-core liberatarians who favor abortion on demand and hard-core libertarians who wouldn't ever allow abortion and yet they're all libertarians. I suppose all the hard-core Libertarians who are for banning abortion nationwide, like Ron Paul, are not "real" libertarians in your mind, eh?

I have. Rice says she's "pro-choice" and would NOT change the current laws on abortion. Bush says he's "pro-life" and would do so. Those are their EXACT words, and those are the FACTS, whether you like them or not. I'm sorry their exact words don't match your agenda here, but that's not my problem.

>> "The president has been in exactly the right place about [abortion]." <<

And...

Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said Bush deserved “great credit” for his leadership during the war and praised the work of the military.
--- Daschle Praises Bush

So following your twisted logic, I guess we should be thankful Tom Daschle has the EXACT SAME VIEWS as Bush on the war in Iraq, eh?
