No, that's not "Calling names" but I don't believe in splitting hairs. In my opinion, both have the same effect.
I don't believe in splitting hairs either, so rest assured, if I wanted to call you names, I would have done so plainly. I did in fact suggest you may be happier in another party, but I didn't make any recommendations as to which one, and I would not advise you to change parties, that is an individual decision. So my friend, I disagree with your opinion that they have the "same effect". Just like you, I believe in changing the hearts and minds of people and do not think calling them names is an effective method of getting my point made. However, the bigger issue is "is there any connection between abortion and breast cancer"? I would like to talk about that issue.
As for "My Party". Yep...I do think I own it. I support it 100% without fail. Because of that, I am part owner. That being said, I would never say the same thing to a passionate advocate like you. I only say that type of thing to those like the poster I said it to...For obvious reasons.
By the way, thank you for the kind words you sent my way. I know I'm asking some hard questions for you to respond to, but I must continue. I am confused about your part ownership option, how can you say you support the republican party 100% when the pro-life plank is the official position of the party and I understand you to be leaning towards "pro-choice"? Please do not accuse me of putting words in you mouth on this. My opinion is that you are both unhappy with the methods of the pro-life crowd and since you have indicated that you leave the issue up to the republican canidate, it could be ASSUMED that you are in fact pro-choice. Don't forget, your parties leader, G. Bush ( you know, the guy who once said "you are either with us, or you are against us") is pro-life last I heard. I wonder if you are really 100% agreement with your leader on this and all other issues for that matter. If not, you better rein in your party now or it may become disorganized and fragmented. And also, how do you know that some of the "one issue windbag freaks" (as you call them but you are not really name calling) that you take issue with don't also support it (the republican party) with the same 100% as you do, thus giving them the same rights and privledges of ownership as you?
How do we get this discussion back to the link between abortion and breast cancer?

To be honest, I don't think that's possible. Look at the post that started all this (The guy saying "God willing, abortion does cause breat cancer). It was post number 3 or 4?
But I wish you luck. Personally I usually stay out of these threads for one basic reason... Abortion will never be outlawed.
