Rice pointedly declined to rule out running for president in 2008 on Friday during an hour-long interview with reporters at WASHINGTON TIMES, top sources tell DRUDGE. Rice gave her most detailed explanation of a 'mildly pro-choice' stance on abortion, she would not want the government 'forcing its views' on abortion... She explained that she is libertarian on the issue, adding: 'I have been concerned about a government role'... Developing late Friday for Saturday cycles... MORE...
Yeah, that happens all the time, damnit, Howlin...FCOL.
Anything to hold onto the Death Culture around here...
:-)
Ummm, yeah, the one issue where the candidate says murdering innocent babies is OK.
If you don't want an abortion, don't have one.
If you don't like slavery, don't own a slave.
Teach your children it's wrong.
Is that what you did? "Hey kids, murdering little babies is wrong, kinda, but not enough to keep you from voting for a murder advocate".
Hiya Apes.
No, the president can't overturn Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court can. And who chooses the Supreme Court justices? The president, to be approved by the Senate. A pro-abortion president nominate pro-abortion justices. Acting like the abortion views of the president are irrelevant is ridiculous.
Fine...if Ashcroft runs, I'll vote for him...If Jerry Falwell is the Republican candidate...I'll vote for him.
As long as the Democratic Party remains controlled by leftists, I will vote Republican.
Will you join me?
Amen.
Without pro-lifers, the GOP would flat-line in short order.
Roe v. Wade could be "mutated" into something far worse if you had an Hillary Clinton appointed court ~ you might see a Chinese style population control program installed building on Roe v. Wade as a "mandatory" standard.
I wonder though because everyone seems to be forgetting that Dubya 41 was pro-choice and switched in order to run for president, or was it to be Reagan's vp? Either way, if it was between Hillary and Condi, I'd be voting for Condi. No way I'd let Hillary win.
>>Abortion is NOT something the Federal Government should decide. It's absurd to clog the courts and throw those in prison that choose it or practice.
Sure, good idea.. We'll just keep the government out of newborn killing too... It's absurd to clog the courts and throws hose in prison who choose it or practice it.
Why stop there? Let's allow toddler killing. It's not a federal issue after all...
A moronic response.
It was maybe a little provocative.
it does have advantages......I'm pro life myself but also think there are exceptions......I still think this is more a State issue.....I'd rather have a strong CIC and someone strong on terror........if we get a weak Pres on that cause many voted a 3rd party and we are attacked because of it, well abortions won't mean a whole lot if we can't defend our country......
I certainly won't vote for Rice in a Republican primary, and I will vote independent in 2008 if she is the nominee. I don't see the "there" there in her "candidacy" that others do. But she could wind up the nominee. Why? Republicans hate being called "racist" or "sexist." And they think Rice would make them immune to such "charges." The GOP needs a backbone transplant.
This thread is a great reminder of the importance of primaries, and the need for the party to stay the hell out of them and let the voters decide.
If some of the people on this thread are our "friends", the Stupid Party is in deeper trouble than I previously thought.
And smart Republicans don't insult fellow Republicans with that Democrat slur.
"Yes, it means that she condones murder of the most helpless."
Where are you getting that from?
No. It means she's carefully weighs the Life of the Child against the Liberty of the Mother. I beleive abortion should be allowed in the case of Rape, Incest, or risk of death to the Mother. Most of America does too - Republicans, Democrats, Independents.
I understand this fact but take their number away and you have yourself lost candidacy.
