The bill was defeated BECAUSE IT CONTAINED THE ABORTION PROVISION -- read this morning's Wall Street Journal; what is this man screaming about?

"The bill was defeated BECAUSE IT CONTAINED THE ABORTION PROVISION "

Yes but I believe the provision that it contained was that people who end up getting fines for their participation in pro life demonstrations cannot file them off in bankruptcy.

Because the LEADERSHIP in the GOP was not the basis for its defeat, and only an aggressive Anti-Abortion sub-caucus prevented the GOP LEADERSHIP from forcing this detestable legislation through. So the upshot is clear, and really inarguable: The GOP can't take much credit for it's defeat.

I get the impression that he's complaining that Trent Lott didn't hold a noon press conference with a brass band to announce that the GOP will kill the bill because of the abortion-protestor provisions.

Of course, the people who attack libertarians for failing to support the GOP without reservation or complaint will soon be ALL OVER this clown, right?
