This will set off another firestorm on FR, of course. However, when George W. Bush ran for office, he said over and over again that he would have no abortion litmus test. Roe vs Wade is not going to be overturned - not by this President or any other.

Why no litmus test!? Why!!!? The leftists and liberals have a pro-abortion litmus test for all their nominees, but for some reason the conservatives are too stupid to have the same. One would think that a principled conservative would only support a nominee who doesn't think that that pureeing a baby and sucking it into a sink is a cool thing. Grisly murder is grisly murder and a litmus test should always be applied.

And if we're not attempting to overturn the demented and unconstitutional Roe v. Wade, then what the hell good are the Republican Party, the Republican majority in the House and Senate, and the Republican President and Vice President in the White House!!? More pork for our side!? Screw that.

The Republican Party, every 4 years at the national convention, reaffirms as a plank of its platform - its very core mission statement - the desire to overturn Roe v. Wade. Yet you say that they shouldn't even try, that the effort should be abandoned, that Republicans should only pay lip service to the goal but to, in reality, cease being the party that respects the sanctity of human life because that is more pragmatic.

You want to dehumanize it and call it an "issue" - as in "one-issue abortion voter". Well, those babies - those human beings whose hearts beat, whose brains function - are being murdered at a rate of 1.3 million per year. They're not just "issues" - they are defenseless, innocent human beings who are being slaughtered - sacrificed on the altar of convenience and lifestyle preservation.

You RINOs need to go find another party. Call it the Conservatives Who Think Abortion Is Just Dandy Party or something. Whatever - but you're not Republicans.

Pro-choice "conservatives" are not conservatives. They are merely Party Members. Party uber alles. They turn with the wind. They are the first to roll over for the liberals if they think it "helps" the Party.

The Bushbots are a funny lot. If Bush says "yes", they all agree 100%. If he changes his mind and says "No", they agree to that 100% too.

That argument is self-defeating. Think about it.
