They could have whined about life being unfair, and endorsed a 3rd party. NRTL is a group of adults possessing common sense. I agree with them.
NRL backed George W. Bush to the hilt (the annointed insider candidate of 2000) then Bush signed McCain-Feingold into law.
NRL parked its national support for Fred Thompson last fall with some state affiliates going for Huckabee.
NRL always supports political insiders but they would have looked like hypocrites to have endorsed McCain last fall since they trashed him over McCain-Feingold.
I think the Thompson endorsement was a ploy to stay out until McCain could win, now they can endorse by saying what everyone is saying, “What choice do we have?”
Pro-choice or no-choice that’s it. They should have a backbone and express from a staunch position that none of the candidates are acceptable. THE TRUTH! When you vote for or endorse a person whose core values(or lack thereof) you disagree with, then you have made yourself forever complicit in the acts of that persons tenure and violated your own conscience.
We will get one of them..I will go for McCain because the alternatives are so horrible.
McCain is NOT pro-choice.
THE TRUTH is that National Right to Lfe has endorsed John McCain in EVERY senatorial election.
This 2008 presidential endorsement was a no-brainer.
Well, The abortion issue is important, of course, but there is very little a conservative president can do. Best case appoint judges that overturns Roe, since most legislation is challenged under Roe. There is some budget manuvers of course. But the role of the federal government is and should be limited.
However when it comes to the economy the president is amazingly powerful and McCain is a disaster. He is a de facto socialist.
They supported Thompson when that made sense and they support McCain now, and that makes sense. Big deal
Too bad he supports abortion in the form of Embryonic Stem Cell research.
Abortion is Abortion is Abortion.
His hands are not clean in this matter.
He'll be a far sight better than EITHER Obama or Her Heinous!
Ms Q, What is worse: being shot between the eyes with a .45, .44 or .357?
We’re screwed - anyway you slice it.
The other problem besides the moral aspect is Embryonic Stem Cell Research is not necesary or scientifically useful. Most of the useful Stem Cell Research is on adult cells. Plus there is no federal ban on ESCR. And even if we were to support ESCR, it should be done with private money, by companies not the government, using private risk capital.
McCain does not get science or economics.
McCain’s ignorance backs him into all kinds of socialist decisions.
We are also at a point, with the Supreme Court, where we have a good shot at turning back some of the liberal idiocy of the last 30 years, and by not voting at all, or voting third party, we'd be allowing people like Lawrence Tribe on the Supremes. I don't believe that John McCain would be selecting barking moonbats for the Court.
Wake up america
1) McCain is a democrat. He is only running as a Republican
2) McCain’s judges will be approved by the gang of 14 and his boy Schumer. Some suggested Rudman.
3) McCain is incapable of fighting the WOT
4) He is a de facto socialist.
5) Worst of al, he is not smart.
We will never win the WOT if we treat the terrorists as if they are captured conscripts from the 3rd Panzer Division. We need to ring their necks until they squeak like a rubber ducky.
McCain wants them to get lawyers.
Actually he wants them to be transferred to Ft Leavenworth. He is too dense to realize this means the ACLU.
McCain was never my guy, but I’d MUCH prefer him, who would have Republicans running Departments and agencies in DC to either of the Marxist the Dems. are running. You talk about coddle the terrorists!
Hogwash! All of it.
