How people casually put politics over the lives of babies still somewhat amazes me.
I live in NJ. Bret who is pro life lost in the primary. I would be hard pressed to vote for Forrester who is pro abortion.
Please read The Pennsylvania Treason (Arlen Specter)
and some great posts too. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1273280/posts

"I have often asserted that, for the pro-life movement, the only practical distinction between the Democrat and Republican parties is that one is an enemy who will stab us in the chest and the other is a friend who will stab us in the back.
Tuesday's Republican primary in Pennsylvania proved my point. Hard-core abortion enthusiast Republican Arlen Specter was being challenged by pro-lifer Pat Toomey for the U.S. Senate. As the incumbent, Specter was predicted to win easily. But as Election Day approached, the polls clearly showed that Toomey was closing in fast and had a legitimate shot to pull off an upset.
That's when the GOP's power brokers pulled out the heavy guns. President George W. Bush personally rushed to Pennsylvania and implored Republicans to get behind the candidacy of ... Arlen Specter. Equally amazing, Pennsylvania's other senator, Rick Santorum, also chose to walk away from his long-espoused pro-life principles. He joined Bush on the campaign trail and urged voters to defeat the pro-life challenger."
The rest is great.......
You going completely away from my point. Do you understand the basics of a simple reciprocity agreement like "I'll stump for you, and you stump for me" or not?
If they play that bluff, they will be sad.
It will not come to that. The Pubbies will not nominate any of these borts. Uh, unless they see the light, real soon.
You don't have to vote all all in NJ in November. And doesn't your state have a nominal "Constitution Party" on the general election ballot?
Insults are chump-change -- the real money is in proving me wrong.
So tell me, why didn't McCain get the nomination in 2000? And what will change in '08 to make him the nominee?
Why won't Allen be nominated?
One wonders who is doing the dreaming, as Arnold is Constitutionally prohibited from running for President, and the feelings of both Rice and Guiliani on certain issues have already been well publicized.
Give me George Allen.
If that is what the GOP thinks, then they had better think again.
I doubt that this premise is true. (that Republicans are bidding farewell to pro-lifers)
They know who voted for them in the last election!
Dear sinkspur,
"Bush is the most pro-life president this country has ever had,..."
True, but it ain't saying much.
"...and has taken some difficult and heroic pro-life stances."
Bull.

Do you speak for everyone? I voted for him for many different things. Yes, I'm concerned about the borders, but that's not my ONLY concern! You don't speak for me, and you don't speak for everyone else on this board either! I'm sure they all have their reasons for voting one way or another. But I feel safe enough to say that there are a lot of people who would agree with me; on or off this board!
Call me disloyal to the Republican Party, but I am a pro-life conservative FIRST.
"Of course the GOP knows that if Hillary runs in 08 then "most" "Republican" people will vote for ANYBODY (including pro-aborts like Condi or Rudy) that would run against her."
That's what they THINK, but Perot's third party is how we got Bill Clinton.
"I live in NJ. Bret who is pro life lost in the primary. I would be hard pressed to vote for Forrester who is pro abortion."
Is the Constitution Party running a candidate in NJ, do you know?
Yes, I fully understand the principles of reciprocity.
How well are you acquainted with the holocaust of abortion, the growing tolerance of euthanasia, the increasing acceptance of “gay marriage” the culture of death in general and how it is destroying the very fabric of our society? The Republican form of government we currently have cannot last long in such a depraved condition.
These matters trump principles of reciprocity when agreed upon with baby killing politicians.
It is more important to stop the carnage than it is to not break the "I'll stump for you, and you stump for me" pact with devils such as specter.
Are you more afraid of offending RINO pols like specter than of offending God?
The GOP used to be the party of small government, so it wouldn't surprise me to get betrayed on abortion, too.
Pope Mourns Death of Cardinal Jaime Sin
Philippine Prelate Was Defender of Democracy
VATICAN CITY, JUNE 21, 2005 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI said he was "deeply saddened" by the death of Cardinal Jaime Sin, the retired archbishop of Manila who died at the age of 76.
..."Cardinal Sin insisted that religion had a role to play in the affairs of the state, a conviction he summed up at his retirement ceremony: 'My duty is to put Christ in politics. Politics without Christ is the greatest scourge of the nation."
"The cardinal also organized protests against the state's attempt to curb population growth."
