Then President Bush is "for the slaughter of human life in the womb"?
Meet the Press 11/21/1999Mr. Russert: Would you want to know the views of a potential Supreme Court justice on abortion…?~ At Pella Central College Rally, Pella, IA - 01/20/2000Gov. Bush: …The most important view I want to know is, are you a strict constructionist, Mr. Jurist?
Mr. Russert: "Would you fight for a constitutional amendment to ban abortion?"
Gov. Bush answered: "I would support a constitutional amendment with the exceptions of life, incest and rape. I want to tell you something, though, the country is not ready for a constitutional amendment."
Question: On abortion, if a friend or relative sought—who was raped sought your counsel about—and pregnant because of that rape sought your counsel about abortion, what would you give them in terms of advice?~ Roundtable Interview, This Week, 01/23/2000Bush: I would say that I—first of all, I believe that—I believe in three exceptions when it comes to abortion
Donaldson: Let's talk about your stand on abortion. You have always had three exceptions - rape, incest and the life of the mother. You still have those three exceptions?Bush: Yes I do.
Donaldson: Look at the words of the platform from four years ago. Here they are: "The unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation to make clear that the 14th Amendment's protections apply to unborn children." It does not say, "With three exceptions."
Gov. Bush: Well, it doesn't say, "Without three exceptions," either…
Did he allow multiple voting?
We will defend the dignity of all Americans against those who would undermine it. Because we believe in the privacy and equality of women, we stand proudly for a woman's right to choose, consistent with Roe v. Wade, and regardless of her ability to pay. We stand firmly against Republican efforts to undermine that right. At the same time, we strongly support family planning and adoption incentives. Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare.Strong at Home,

Violence was turning her hometown into “Bombingham” as Alabama’s governor George Wallace fought a federal court order to integrate the city’s schools. The Ku Klux Klan bombed the homes of blacks who were beginning to move into white neighbourhoods. Among the targets was the home of Arthur Shores, a veteran civil rights lawyer and friend of the Rices. Condi and her parents took food and clothes over to his family.And this:With the bombings came marauding groups of armed white vigilantes called “nightriders” who drove through black neighbourhoods shooting and starting fires. John Rice and his neighbours guarded the streets at night with shotguns.
The memory of her father out on patrol lies behind Rice’s opposition to gun control today. Had those guns been registered, she argues, Bull Connor would have had a legal right to take them away, thereby removing one of the black community’s only means of defence. “I have a sort of pure second amendment view of the right to bear arms,” she said in 2001.
In a pleasantly meandering conversation over lunch in San Francisco last summer, Condoleezza Rice, then still provost of Stanford but already unofficially what she now is officially, George W. Bush's senior foreign policy adviser, was asked her thoughts about gun control. "I am," she answered crisply, "a Second Amendment absolutist." Growing up in Birmingham, Ala., in the early 1960s, when racial tensions rose, there were, she said, occasions when the black community had to exercise its right to bear arms in self-defense, becoming, if you will, a well-regulated militia.
Post your statistical source please.
Howlin's alter ego appears again!
This thread is soooo two days ago! ;-)
Excellent post...now if only the RINOs would leave!
You've been SPANKED!
Ain't that the truth!
Sounds like she is on the right track regarding the 2nd Amendment....though I wonder if she would have signed the Clinton "Assault" Weapons Ban like her boss promised to do. She still wouldn't get my vote due to her Pro-Abortion views. Anyone that thinks the murder of innocent human life is acceptable is pure evil IMHO.

First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton Remarks at NARAL Anniversary Luncheon January 22, 1999
~ Hardball With Chris Matthews 05/31/2000Matthews: [Clinton] said he was going to make abortion safe, legal and rare,…So why ban it ?Gov. Bush: I think the key is, is to change the culture first and foremost. I don't think anybody is under—I don't believe people believe it can be banned. I believe we can do everything we can to make it, as the president [Clinton] said, more rare.
~ Larry King Live, 12/16/1999:
Bush said "We need to convince people that abortion is—ought to be rare—…
"Pro-choice" is a liberal left-wing construct. Either you think the slaughter of innocent human life is acceptable or you don't.

Does that go for President Bush's acceptance of the three exceptions?
Well god luck with getting the south to give our votes to a Senator who can't even carry his own state for the party.
Are you threatening me?
