Dick Cheney due to health reasons decides to withdrawl his name from the ticket in 2004 after a very successful term as Vice President. He figures he can still stay close to the President and advise him in any way possible, but not have to deal with the every day hustle of being the Vice-President of the country. So who would President Bush pick to be his new VP? I think Condi Rice would be a wonderful choice but I dont know if this country (especially the Republican Party) is ready for a VP who is black, a woman, and from the South (Alabama). I also love Powell but would he and Pres Bush be able to work hand in hand as P-VP? Donald Rumsfeld is a terrific Sec of Defense and I think he would make a great President one day...maybe him being VP could lead us to 8 great years of a Rumsfeld Presidency after 8 great years of Bush. Other candidates that come to mind would be Tom Ridge, Liddy Dole, Ashcroft, and dare i say it...JOHN MCCAIN ( i know, i know, but i think the Bush-MCcain ticket would be a shoe in). My pick would have to be Rice, she is worth her weight in Gold. She is a genius, works well with Bush, and would really be great for the country. And what would the naysayers say after Bush nominates a black woman to be his right hand WOMman?? I think they would just have to throw up the white flag! GO DUBYA!
When people feel mortal, their thoughts go to what awaits us all after death...having faced serious illness myself, and once a very close brush with death, I have an unshakeable conviction that Love and Life await us who love God...
I don't know how a baby-killer could have that kind of peace...I don't know what they imagine awaits them at the point of death...and all of us will die.
Bark? Demoniacs? --Oops! Demoniacs has too many letters....
Screw proper...I've seen what works for Jesse Jackson et al.
you need to save that post for future posting at all abortion threads - it is that good.
So much blood on their hands. How sad.
All legislation is legislation of morality. It regulates acts of the human will, and thus, by definition legislates morality. The proscription of murder is a moral proscription. Every other law encourages or discourages some kind of behavior.
In this case, the law should protect a class of people from being murdered -- ie, the unborn.
According to the 2000 national exit poll by the Los Angeles Times, 14% of voters considered abortion one of their top 2 issues. 12% of Gore voters considered it one of their top 2 issues vs. 17% of Bush voters. This has been a consistent pattern for a very long time nationally.
Being pro-life is a WINNING issue for the GOP.
Let them leave with Jeffords. Those people didn't vote for Bush, and he still won. And so did pro-lifer Rick Santorum, in PA of all places, even though Bush lost there.
And you don't seem to know what a Catch 22 is, either.
And what exactly do you mean by "fight for our freedom?" It makes no sense at all.
And really, can any of us be free as long as the killings continue?
Rudy fits the second part but IMHO is too "moderate".
Dan Qualye fits the first part but it would be a difficult election.
Santorium (sp?) is a possiblity. I'd like a 50-55ish year old, charasmatic conservative.BUT WHO?
