Good post. Succinctly lays out an actual strategy for legally reducing, then banning abortions.

When murder of an unborn child takes place, it is black and white. No race pun intended.

Rape and incest are the most horrible things imaginable, but the unborn is still a child.

He’s doing it on every Fred thread here. Do a Fred search, then sneak into each one and throw in an out of context quote and a smart assed comment, then bolt the thread without responding to replies. Friggin’ coward.

I smell DNC more than R competition in some of these trolls.

Fred is going over the heads of the DBM and getting traction with their Reagan Democrats, and there’s hopelessly no dirt they have on Fred.

Carville is panicking.

You’re preaching to the choir, here. I’m proud of South Dakota’s initiative, despite the exceptions left in due to the hardness of men’s hearts.

Maybe my pings will slow down his searches. Or maybe the prayers will.

I only realized that you are a doctor after I posted. Of course, I’m preaching to the choir. Sorry!

looks like Thompson is hitting the huckster where it hurts.

Absolutely. If he takes second, the moderator will be forced to ask him some QUESTIONS during the next debate. Maybe the drooling maniac Paul won’t be invited. It’s probably too much to hope that Hunter will.

"Hemmer just asked him about being a “stalking horse” for McCain. Fred said that that was just Huckabee’s talking points. To think that he had been doing everything that he had been doing, day and night, for someone else’s campaign is LUDICROUS!!!"

That won't stop the "accomplice" theorists. Nothing beats a nice conspiracy theory, especially when it's built from dark little innuendos that are almost non sequiturs and are posted anonymously on Internet bulletin boards.

To me, Thompson is the one candidate in the field who the whole party can unite behind. Guiliani, Romney, McCain, Huckabee all have some attractive positions and personal traits but they each also have records and proposals that alienate some large portion of Republicans. Republicans can all stand behind a solid conservative. Thompson and Hunter are the only two and of those it looks like Thompson is the only one with any momentum.

Exactly. To win, a candidate for ANY party must motivate the base. Failure to do that means you lose, period. Rudy McRomney will all fail to do this because of past positions that are better suited for the Democrats. Huckabee is a sick joke of a candidate - it is incredibly clear that he's wearing his religion on his sleeve in order to deflect attention from his base, and any thinking conservative has to ask, "WHY?"

Hunter may be better than Fred on a couple of issues, but they are about 95% in agreement and only Fred is close to being electable. Hunter will make an excellent Secretary of Defense in the Thompson Administration.

Conservatives should vote for Thompson because there simply AREN'T any other conservatives among the top 5. McCain is only doing well now because of crossover Dems - what does THAT tell anyone conservative? Either they like his policy positions (which is a huge red flag), or they know that Hillary will clean his clock.

Vote Fred, before the party fractures and Hillary wins.

Exactly. It's sad, because the public isn't even aware of victories such as the ones you posted. And statements like, "would allow parents to choose to abort their grandchildren", sound like something Huckabee would say.

IMO, education will do more to stop abortion than government can in the long run. For instance, all teenaged girls should see a video of a NICU and see those "fetuses" fighting for their lives. Rehumanize our unborn children. It would probably change a lot of hearts and minds than trite hyperbole.

"Huckabee is a sick joke of a candidate - it is incredibly clear that he's wearing his religion on his sleeve in order to deflect attention from his base cronyism, the fact that he showed more sympathy to a rapist than to his victim, the hundreds of thousands of free gifts he accepted and used while governor, the fact that he signed legislation giving scholorships and grants to illegals, his son's seriously troubling behavior etc., etc., and any thinking conservative has to ask, 'WHY?' "

Fixed that for you.

I was hoping that a surrogate would do the nasty work for me. :>)

My first choice is Duncan Hunter. But I doubt he will still be in by the time the primaries come to California. My second choice (and a VERY close seconds!) is Thompson. In short, I would vote for either one. In fact, I would vote for almost any republican over a demorat (although I’d be hardpressed to vote for either McCain or the Huckster).

Luckily, the surrogate actually managed to make no typos...or at least, no OBVIOUS typos.

Some more fun facts:

I stopped reading your thread responses, if I want to listen to a record skip I'll ask Oprah and Rosie over to dance by my turntable.

#4, I've read all your posts on this thread and think the following is an appropriate response them...
I suggest you take heed and be very very careful in posting disinformation and/or half truths about Fred.

Have a nice day Mitt-shill.
