Your constituency has never been loyal. You are a pain in the a$$. You whine, you complain and if you don't think you are getting your way you stay home on election day.
You are not considered part of the republican base by anyone except democrats, and they are always wrong. This election was not about you. It was not about abortion.
Your turnout numbers as a percentage were no greater than before. Nobody in the party held your hand this year. Nobody promised you anything out of the ordinary, and certainly no promise has been made to overturn Roe.
What Bush said, he meant.
"Your constituency has never been loyal. You are a pain in the a$$. You whine, you complain and if you don't think you are getting your way you stay home on election day."
So when you support, say a Rudy Guliani or an Arlen Specter as the GOP candidate in the 2008 primaries, you do NOT want my support, right?
Dear Cold Heat,
"What Bush said, he meant."
When he said that he was working to have all children, born and unborn, protected in law, what did that mean?
Please explain to me how protecting unborn children in law can be done without undoing Roe, either through amendment to the Constitution, or through a decision of a differently-constituted Supreme Court, or through legislation (a speculative approach) that takes the abortion question out of the hands of the courts.
How can unborn children be proteced in law without undoing Roe?
As for loyalty, I have pulled a straight Republican Party ticket since I was old enough to vote, since 1978. I have voted in every federal and statewide election from 1978 on. I have even voted for Republicans who were iffy on the question of life, to strengthen the Republican Party, to get to the point where the party would be strong enough to take decisive action against Roe.
I have donated to the last several Republican presidential candidates.
I and my wife have performed volunteer work for Republican candidates and the Republican Party.
I did my small part to elect Gov. Bob Ehrlich in the state of Maryland, the first election of a Republican governor in 36 years. Even though he is officially pro-abortion.
I have done these things because the Republican Party has been the pro-life party.
Now, it is possible to take the first steps to reverse Roe. Now is the time. It is merely the fulfillment of part of the party platform.
Do you have a problem with President Bush keeping his promises?
Do you have a problem with the Republican Party executing a long-standing part of its platform?
