Republicans, on the other hand, claim (for example) to be anti-abortion, having it on their stated list of planks; yet, during the six-years they were the majority (with Bush in office) they didn’t even so much as propose federally illegalizing abortion...
the accomplishments of George W Bush
Banned Partial Birth Abortion - by far the most significant roll-back of abortion on demand since Roe v. Wade. Reversed Clinton's move to strike Reagan's anti-abortion Mexico Policy.And the best chance to overturn RvW in decades now that we have young and smart Chief Justice of the United States Roberts and Justice Alito. I'm happy I could help educate you.By Executive Order (EO), reversed Clinton's policy of not requiring parental consent for abortions under the Medical Privacy Act.
By EO, prohibited federal funds for international family planning groups that provide abortions and related services.
Upheld the ban on abortions at military hospitals.
Made $33 million available for abstinence education programs in 2004.
How is that significant? Partial birth abortions ARE murder; and how is “executive order” being credited to the party?
>It is hard for me to believe I got you to say rats “honestly” don’t care what you think, and you find that refreshing.
It is refreshing to the back-stabbing lies... IE better to be stabbed in the back by your mugger than betrayed by your ‘friend.’
The unwillingness to argue/debate, or even recognize ‘non-personal’ (ie non-positional) authority is a different matter.
What REALLY burns me though, is inconstancy in law. Either something IS legal, or it is NOT legal. That one can have a state constitution forbidding a class of laws, and state statutes making those infringements is, in a word: OUTRAGEOUS. (See: http://www.conwaygreene.com/nmsu/lpext.dll?f=FifLink&t=document-frame.htm&l=query&iid=66b036fd.eebbfe6.0.0&q=%5BGroup%20%27nmc%20artii-6%27%5D & http://www.conwaygreene.com/nmsu/lpext.dll?f=FifLink&t=document-frame.htm&l=query&iid=66b036fd.eebbfe6.0.0&q=%5BGroup%20%2730-7-2.4%27%5D )
That the state ISN’T ‘called’ on it, and it hasn’t been challenged in the ~20 years it’s been law, is preposterous.
And we have EXACTLY the same thing with our Congress, Executive Office, and [to some degree] Supreme Court regarding our Federal Constitution and the Federal Laws.
Pelosi is on-record with responding “Are you serious?” to questions regarding the Constitutional authorization for health-care reform. Detestable the disregard for the highest law of the land, and a detestable contradiction of her oath to that Constitution. In all though that’s far more honest a reply than the balless-wonders we have in Congress called Republicans. (Hell, DeMint is pretty much the singular guy “taking the attack” to the other side form what I’ve seen.)
>That is their superior selling point for a conservative like you.
Who said I was buying? {I made a comparison that I would rather vote for Obama than McCain; that doesn’t mean that I _REALLY_REALLY_ want to vote for Obama; it says I REALLY REALLY DON’T want to vote for McCain.}
I’m only saying that it’s better to have poison labeled as such than as “Life Giving Refreshment!”
Or do you think that is acceptable and desirable to mislabel your product?
