Republicans for Choice endorses John McCain
republicans for choice ^ | February 2008

Posted on 02/06/2008 7:54:30 AM PST by sickoflibs

Our first choice, Rudy Giuliani, did not win. He ran a campaign with a risky strategy and it didn't work. But our number two choice did win...John McCain. McCain came in second in a survey of our membership.

While he is personally "pro life" he has time and again reached out and worked with people across the spectrum. We know we can work with him to create common ground that will allow moderates and conservatives to come together to rebuild the GOP.

RFC joins with Rudy Giuliani in asking our supporters to consider McCain as they go to vote over the next few weeks.

John is a true American hero with strong and consistent values. He will provide the leadership that will rebuild America's confidence in itself and among our allies worldwide.

I am sure they will along with the New York Times and every liberal commentator that endorsed him and told Republicans he was ‘the electable’ one.

Well it’s like if Democrats nominated Leiberman because he was electable, a moderate, nop, not happening, only one side picks the guy who loves the other side’s ideas and it isnt the rats.

It should also be noted that the Log Cabin crowd specifically attacked Romney.

Here's Hillary's record. Notice how it matches up exactly with McCain's.

HILLARY'S VOTING RECORD

2007: 100 percent
2006: 100 percent
2005: 100 percent
2004: 100 percent
2003: 100 percent
2002: 100 percent
2001: Because only one choice-related vote was taken in 2001 – to confirm John Ashcroft as United States Attorney General – no numerical score was given for the year. Sen. Clinton voted pro-choice.

We really need Hillary to win, don't we. John McCain is a bad, bad man.

Gee, and to hear all the hate-filled bashing of Mitt Romney on these boards, you would think he would have gotten the endorsement. Looks like there are quite a few Freepers [sic] who have been lying their butts off about Romney. Guess what?

ABORTIONISTS PREFER McCAIN

Republicans have made their bed. Now they shall lie in it. btw, how many Supreme Court Justices will Hillary seat in her first term?

What are you babbling about? It's Romney voters that were duped into thinking Willard was pro-life or conservative or had ANY chance of winning.

Romney is a Massachusetts liberal that the majority of conservatives are never going to believe is conservative. Nor do many of us want to sellout our integrity and support a man that has flip-flopped more than Bill Clinton and John Kerry combined.

It's people like YOU that blow it by backing Romney instead of Huckabee, who FAR more conservative.

“HA-HA-HA Huckabee voters, duped again, not to worry, Hillary cares about you”

And I am sure that Hillary will make a very Pro-Choice President (unfortunately) after she beats McCain. I wonder if Huck supporters thought about this when they voted for him?

The ironic thing is that if McCain is nominated, conservatives will have no choice.

While Senator McCain (like Governor Romney) supports funding for embryonic stem-cell research and has supported fetal-tissue research, the rest of his voting record over the past 25 years has been pro-life:

See also the National Review article “Pro-Life, Pro-McCain”: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NDAyYjVkNmU3MGIzODQ4ZGU2Y2M1OGUzYWQwM2VhMDk=

If “Republicans for Choice” want to endorse a pro-life candidate such as McCain, then that’s fine with me, as long as they stick with him in November when they realize that he’s pro-life and the Democrat is pro-abortion.

This is a Log Cabin Republican’s dream, or should I say Dem-lite?

A vote for McCain is a vote for the next Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court. McCain is not pro-life: he expressed his real pro-abortion views in 1999, and has resented having to court pro-lifers ever since. His resentment will fully manifest itself in horrible USSC appointments if he ever gets elected President.

McCain is not a conservative.
McCain is a consensus-tive

HA-HA-HA Huckabee voters, duped again...

Both the so-called pastor, Huck and Pro-choicers love McCain.

For choice of what? Flavor of ice cream? Color of socks? Where parents can send their children for school? I thought Huckabee was the strong school choice candidate.

We know we can work with him to create common ground that will allow moderatesliberals and conservatives to come together to rebuild the GOP.

Fixed.
