Given the track record of legal abortion here in the US and our export of death abroad, it's the Republicans who have all of these individual Deathist Utopians beat, hands down. After all, abortion is a GOP policy.

One can assemble some facts to support this, mostly characteristic of the northeast liberal segment of the party who are actually the low-tax versions of the Democrat party. I don't think you can sustain your case against the entire party. If you disagree, maybe you should go join the Democrats and convince them to oppose abortion.

We have to start somewhere. And it's in the GOP, even if Bush is making some wrong moves. He won't be there forever. But we'll still be around. And we can still throw the monkey wrench into the plans of his advisors.

Of course, at this point, I'm leaning againts voting for him in 2004. He's been less than advertised to date. And it would be better to defeat our own candidate than to allow him to continue the slow path to socialistm and globalism and his abortion policies. In the end, we have to focus on principles and policy goals, not personalities.

I speak solely of the leadership ... as buttressed primarily by the "I'm personally opposed BUT" politicians who stump using their pro-life personal beliefs but consistently vote in favor of abortion ... whether it's the ratification of Roe by the GOP Senate during the 2000 campaign or their passage of the Schumer Amendment.

I couldn't care less about "personality".

All I know is that man who doesn't vote by his alleged personal convictions has no principles worth noting at all.

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, don’t cut off your nose to spite your face, don’t, don’t, don’t!!! A vote for anyone else, remember Ross Perrot, is a vote for the party of Satan.
