Sorry, the tense was wrong, I should have said “Alternatively we could have…”Um…the election is over…the Democrats won. Are you giving post-election voting tips, because time machines haven’t been invented. BTW…the latter half describes all politicians from both parties.
No prob…I just hope the replacements aren’t also corrupt. It’s a bipartisan disease.
Agreed- one of the main reasons the Dems were deservedly booted in '94.
You’re right; he’s not committed to life–he only says he’s pro-life for political expediency.
Say what you want but unless you’ve been living under a rock you know that Bush’s tax cuts have created more revenue coming into the country and the deficit is going down much faster than predicted.Actually, Bush is even worse than a ‘tax and spend’ liberal, he’s a ‘tax cut and spend’ conservative. Not only does he spend more money than the government takes in in revenues, but the he goes and reduces our revenues further.

Umm… I don’t know if you are providing this example for my benefit or others, but if you’re attempting to lecture me on economics, I really don’t need it. I have a master’s degree in public policy and am very familiar with economic theory. However, I might suggest that you consider in enrolling in a course on civil etiquette. Insinuating that people are ‘mentally-challenged’, ‘been living under a rock’, and condescendingly saying some people need elementary examples to understand economic principles is rude and very un-Catholic. I would suggest that you tone down your rhetoric if you are sincerely interested in engaging in a dialogue about issues.
and there have been plenty of attacks like those since 9/11, especially on US military targets, whats your point?
6 years out of office and clinton still gets blamed… strange, i dont recall anyone ever blaming reagan or bush the first whenever problems occured in the 90’s…
no, congress didn’t need to go to any court. they have both the process of judicial impeachment or the states rights clause to invoke if they so wished to end abortion. the fact that they did not proves once and for all they don’t care about abortion
Some of those “moderates” IMO are Rockefeller Republicans. I was glad to see Chafee go and would like to have a few more gone as long as the congressional changes were coming. The GOP senator from Montana was one of the biggest earmarkers in the congress and it is good to see him go. I would admire the Dems if they did something about earmarks, but I sure will not hold my breath for any party doing anything about that.
My condolences. This points up the problem in the Catholic Church. If all Catholics were pro-life there would be no problem with abortion. Fact is, there are more pro-abortion Catholics than not, and that really hurts.
the supreme court violated a state law by forcing it to consent to the court, overriding the state legislator. congress has its right to declare that court order null and void, and the states themselves can also do as such within the law, and there is nothing the court can do about it. and yes a justice can just as easily be impeached as any president or senator can
…wasn’t in the last 4 years of the Clinton administration, now, was it?
It’s a very different thing to have an attack on a state’s property abroad than an attack on your homeland. You’re not responsible for the homeland security of other countries.
Do you judge it by a list of laws, or do you judge it by the actual number of lives lost? I know which I prefer - and the statistics are clear that the abortion rate has come down far more slowly since the Republicans were controlling everything than at any other time in the last 20 years.
Not to be outdone, the Bush administration put the instructions for making nuclear bombs on the internet for everyone to download.
I’m sure you would. An interesting idea that Clinton created 9/11 though. Was he flying planes that day?
It didn’t stop them trying it with the definition of marriage though, did it? Was that just a stunt? And if not, then why not do the same with abortion?
