Rand Paul and his father are the GOP's Dennis Kucinich, their "candidacy" is strictly for entertainment purposes because they will NEVER garner any real support.
I know. Rand Paul will go to Cleveland(?) with the same supporters his father had.
No.
I think that he is a man on a mission to change the GOP from not only being pro-life, but to end it having a social conservative platform.
If that's his mission he's a bit late. The GOP IS NOT pro-life or socially conservative and never really has been.
Paul is a serious threat.
No, he's a nuisance just like his father. The threat is the GOP as a whole.
“If you’re simply taking me to task over Rand Paul being pro-life or pro-choice, then it’s because I’m looking at his consistent statements that he is pro-life, and you are looking at other things that signal to you that he is actually pro-choice. In other words, YOUR analysis has concluded that he is pro-choice. You can find no place where he has claimed to be pro-choice, so you have gone to other things to discount his words to arrive at your conclusion.”
I don't know who wrote this, but it isn't me.
Now, I'm going to eat dinner and will probably be gone until Monday.
LOL!
Thank goodness for that! I wouldn’t trust either one of them to defend our country.
It’s from post #129, and I wrote it. But, it is extremely selective editing.
Or the occupy crowd.
So why is it a problem to know that Rand Paul is pro-choice as he campaigns for president?
Why for seven months, must I keep having to explain that to someone who keeps denying it?
:)
No it wasn’t, it captured our disagreement for 7 months, me saying that Rand Paul is pro-choice and has that as his agenda for the GOP, and you not agreeing.
You defend Rand Paul and argue for more understanding for his position.
“That is why Rand Paul’s comments about being in the medical weeds regarding ‘life of the mother’ is of concern. Some have already concluded that means he is pro-choice. You are one of them. Marlowe is one of them.
I’m still open on trying to figure out what he meant BECAUSE he is an MD. MDs would see a lot of unique medical concerns when we say ‘life of mother’ that we wouldn’t see. What are those issues?”
I know it's true........I liked your pic of head banging......you are on notice that I am stealing it......
:-)
:)
Those are your own quotes stating that you do not see Rand Paul as pro-choice.
Isn’t that defending Rand Paul?
To quote you: “”Some have already concluded that means he is pro-choice. You are one of them. Marlowe is one of them.
I’m still open on trying to figure out what he meant BECAUSE he is an MD.””
And — you might not believe this — but I am ‘secretly’ in charge of the secret vault of ancient secrets secret to all! Do you know the secret handshake?
Do you mean post #135 or 139?
In the interview, Blitzer asked Sen. Paul about his pro-life views, asking, “Just to be precise, if you believe life begins at conception, which I suspect you do, you would have no exceptions for rape, incest, the life of the mother – is that right?”
Paul, who is a doctor as well as a senator, answered, “I think that…puts things in too small of a box. What I would say is there are thousands of exceptions. I’m a physician, and every individual case is going to be different. Everything is going to be particular to that individual case and what is going on that mother and the medical circumstances of that mother.”
“It sounds like you believe in some exceptions,” Blitzer said.
“Well, there is going to be, like I say, thousands of extraneous situations where the life of the mother is involved and other things that are involved,” replied Paul, “so I would say that each individual case would have to be addressed, and even if there were eventually a change in the law – let’s say people came more to my way of thinking – there would still be a lot of complicated things the law may not ultimately be able to address in the early stages of pregnancy that would have to be part of what occurs between the physician, and the woman, and the family.”
