“Why couldn’t Bush ever say anything like this?”
Because President Bush wanted to go along to get along. What he failed to understand was that there are those who simply aren’t interested in getting along.
“I can assure you that if I am president, advancing the cause of life will not be above my pay grade.”
Good response. While I think it would be nice to have an ostensibly pro-creation President, I don’t think it’s going to matter much one way or the other. Life just isn’t much of an issue for the politicians. They’re much more interested in splitting up the goodies.
I continue to believe that we will not end infanticide through electoral politics. Which is not to say that legalized infanticide won’t end; I think it will and possibly in my lifetime. It just won’t be the result of anything the politicians do or say.
He looks like a cold blooded monster even to people like me, of whom abortion isn’t even the #1 issue. This vote, and his defense of it, and lies about it, need to be pushed. It’s above and beyond (or below...) the “choice” issue. It is baby killing.
And the funny thing is, only a total moron would believe the hard left would ever do anything but slander him and use the media to create a narrative that even relatively moderate Americans (and many conservatives and libertarians) would believe.
For chrissakes, there are libertarians so caught up in the IRaq War (and the whole warfare-welfare template in their head) that they think a person with anti-American, racist and Marxist ‘mentors,’ clearly wants to expand the state, set up a millions-strong ‘national service’ army of forced ‘volunteers,’ and whose party mates have not only obstructed on expanding our base of resources but have openly spoken of NATIONALIZING two of the biggest sectors of our economy!
