I'm hoping this Flynn boomlet is a head fake. I'll support the Trump ticket no matter who he chooses but I don't get a good feeling about this particular candidate.

Maybe we are completely surprised by who is actually chosen.

I don’t think that is correct. Perhaps you have authority?

Isn’t it peculiar how we’ll insist the president and VP have to appear to be ProLife. George Bush gave more funding to Planned Parenthood than any president in history. Romney was is about as ProAbortion as one can get, in action.

But, like I was saying, we’ll insist that for our candidates’ words, but not their actions. All the while, refusing to address the root of the problem - women..1/3 of them are murderers and we’re too feminized to confront these evil people and demand they stop their killings. But, boy, we sure can “pretend” to be concerned by insisting our candidates pretend. Talk about stupid exercises in futility.

Do we want a Democrat who supports abortion a heartbeat away from the Presidency?

A registered member of today's democrat party? NO

“Exactly as I was saying in the thread where people were lobbying for him. He’s a democrat for a reason. He might be great on national security, but we don’t know his positions on other issues. Now we know his position on abortion, and just as I suspected, he’s not pro-life. Do we want a Democrat who supports abortion a heartbeat away from the Presidency? “

Does it matter for this election? Does gay marriage matter for this election? Neither one will get touched regardless of who the President is. This election is about trade, border protection and national security. Social issues can wait.

Trump may not care about abortion per se, but he cares about winning, and he seems to have got the message that he needs pro-life voters to win this election.

That may have been the case during the primaries. No matter what Trump does or say he doesn't seem to lose his die-hard base. So a case could be made for Trump reaching for social liberals in the general election. So he could pick a social liberal with a macho front like a general. God help us all.

Donald Trump will make the correct decision.

That's the cult-of-personality thinking. The personality can do no wrong, all deeply held beliefs must be subjugated and altered to align with the personality.

I don’t see that Submareener is a member of a personality cult.

Tump has made some statements about social issues. In particular, he has said he will apoint pro-life SCOTUS justices, and the freedom of religoius expression is vital; in connection with the fags going after Christians.

Oh, he also said he thinks a future SCOTUS should overturn fag marriage.

In America, our constitutional protections rest on the Founders' premise that each and all individuals are "endowed by their Creator" with the unalienable right to both life and the liberty to enjoy it, or, in their words, "the pursuit of happiness."

The sole reason these rights were deemed unalienable is that both are derived from the Creator--not from the mother or father, and not from government or judicial decision. What is "granted" by human decision also can, by implication, be withheld.

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them (life and liberty)," said Thomas Jefferson.

"The world is different now. . . and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address

That understanding underlies every other consideration embodied in our Declaration of Independence and every protection of our Constitution. It is the very basis of our rights to life and liberty, of laws to protect them, and it distinguishes ours from other forms of government.

When we fail to acknowledge that foundation of our liberty, then we risk liberty itself for future generations, for where does the right to choose who lives and who does not really end?

That is why the question is of vital importance in each election. Already, we have deprived millions of their Creator-endowed rights to life and liberty, and our nation must be weaker for their loss. We need leaders who understand the implications and potential consequences of departing from our founding principles.

In recent decades, technological advances have enabled us to observe the characteristics and actions of God's tiniest creations in the womb. Unlike previous generations who could not see, we have no excuse for imagining that these are mere blobs of tissue labeled "fetuses." In their early weeks, we now can see that they are living babies who will continue on to possess life and liberty if we do not "destroy" both. Indeed, they are simply smaller versions of ourselves.

At the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC on February 3, 1994, Mother Teresa stated: "And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"

Questions on the economy, taxes, threats from terrorists, health care--all are considerations at this election time. One, however, is basic to all others for me. Who will best protect the underlying premise of our Constitution--and the lives and liberties of millions yet unborn?

Promises are illusive and cheap. This voter will examine each candidate's previous voting record carefully on all issues, because past actions are the best predictors of future decisions.
