You are right about the new Dems in the Congress. Emanuel did a masterful job of selecting candidates to run against incumbent Republicans who were more in line with the thinking of the majority of Americans. But don’t expect them to have any influence over the far left wing of the party. If they want to be given committee assignments, etc., they will keep their mouths shut and do what Mrs. Pelosi says.
You are right about that. People from all around the country come to Wichita KS for abortions, and are willing to pay big money for late term abortions.It’s cuz we’re now known as the “abortion capital”, instead of the “air capital”, these days.
If Sen. Brownback is any indication of Kansas political leaders. I say keep 'em coming!
I’m with James 1441 on this one. I keep hearing this line “vote Republican and support life.” But other than the Partial Birth Abortion Ban (which was great), what else have Republicans done for pro-life. Some of them talk a good game, but in their 12 years of House rule, 11 years of Senate rule, and a Republican president for six years- what have they done. Seems to me like the some Republicans just use the pro-life issue to get votes, but don’t make it much of a priority.
Casey claims to be pro life, although he won’t ban morning after bill. But still he claims to want Roe V Wade overturned. Why not give Casey the benefit of the doubt there when it comes to Roe.
Missouri even went beyond favoring the destruction of embryos for stem cell research. By enshrining it in the state constitution, they took the issue off the table entirely for current or future discussion. A loss not only for life but for political discourse.
I don’t know what papers you have been reading, but I’ve seen nothing about the Democrats wanting to dismantle the intelligence community. To the contrary, I’ve heard a lot of talk about implementing the recommendations of the 9/11 Committee to better protect our country. That’s where our focus should be, not Iraq.
You’re comparing Bush to the great biblical prophet Noah? God had Noah build an Ark to save all of God’s creatures, not to go to unnecessarily go to war with a neighboring tribe and destroy the lives of his people.
This one will be repealed. When it’s back on the ballot in '08 it will have honest ballot language and will easily be defeated. Unless of course it gets outlawed in the federal courts first.Amendments can be repealed…I’ll drink to that!
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.
Yes- that’s language that is bound to change hearts and minds…:ehh:
I’m not sure why it has to be one or the other on some of the issues you mention. There is always a middle course which is why having a government that governs from both sides is generally a good thing. You take the best from the conservative side and the best from the liberal side and you get a pretty good deal. Hopefully, this will happen.
Actually, revenues increased 30%…why? Because the tax cuts increased revenue. Why? Because the tax cuts helped the economy recover.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.
Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Allows babies born alive during abortion attempts to get the medical care they need rather than be left to die on a cold counter.
Agreed. It’s just sad that so many decided to cut off their nose to spite their face and vote democratic instead of choosing a candidate who might actually do what they know is right – i.e. a 3rd party
Agreed. I’ve believed this for quite a while now. I’d love abortions to stop. Making it illegal will diminish it but it will not eliminate it completely. Only by moving our culture to one where human life is truly considered a sacred thing will abortions stop. That’s a difficult task but through the prayers of our Mother si se puede!
