Of course not. I’m against abortion. It’s because we just aren’t civil to one another, and again, I don’t mean you. You are civil. In general, most of us snipe and name call, and to an outsider, we must look like the most horrible bunch of people on earth.
Well, that’s fine, Grotto. You, like all of us, are entitled to post your opinion, and you are not required to like me or agree with me. I respect the views of all on this forum. I’m willing to listen to why I should vote for someone else, but it can’t be abortion, abortion, abortion all the time. I need more reasons than that. I’m already against abortion. No one has to convince me of that. Cruz says he is against abortion. Fine. But I can’t stand him. Someone would have to give me some good reasons to vote for him other than the fact that he says he is against abortion.
Here is the problem Lily. You say you are against abortion but you also say defensive remarks that contradict yourself. The contradictions are stronger than the declarations. I like you too, but I do not like your misinformed opinions. They are harmful. So I must call you out but do not wish to be uncharitable. I speak as one who has fractured the funny bone more than once.
Given that she is for abortion and you are not. Given that she is not trusted. Given that she has no coherent economic policy. Given all of these negatives, how could a Catholic support her?
I’ll admit, I wince every time she talks about “women’s rights,” but on matters of economic policy, foreign policy, I trust her. I see a coherent economic policy that I don’t see with any of the other candidates. I like Sanders, but I don’t think his proposals are workable. I think life will improve in the US under a President Clinton, and when life improves, more women keep their babies rather than abort them. Health care for the poor improved under Obama and abortion declined by thirteen percent. That is a good thing.
What is coherent about her economic policy? Do you think giving special breaks to Wall Street firms is really going to help the economy?
How about the fact Cruz is in favor of the North Carolina bathroom law while both Clinton and Trump are opposed to it? I can’t think of a more pressing issue of our time and Cruz’s conservatism and common sense shine through so admirably on this issue. Now you can cast your vote for Cruz with pride for a true (North) American.
That is pretty pressing, MB! I will have to give Cruz some more thought. Thank you!
How could her foreign policy possibly be worse, short of nuking western European capitals?
No, but it will help her economy. As president, she will be even more valuable to them than she was as Secretary of State, and the value of Bill Clinton’s speeches will increase exponentially. Good for his economy too.
Nobody has implemented pay to play better than the Clintons. I am not sure how one could defend it though.
It’s impossible to defend on any grounds because, besides being corrupt, it’s inefficient from the country’s standpoint. It costs the country massively more than the amount of the payoff to the politician. Direct theft from the Treasury would be much cheaper.
For perhaps the first time ever, MB, I can’t tell if you’re joking. I do know, however, that I hope you are…
I felt the same way!
Just saw this article, which confirms how much the Clintons are on the take. As Wally from Dilbert has said: “What is the point of having power if you can’t abuse it”.
From the article:
And who knows what fodder email hackers have to blackmail her?
I recall a lawyer friend of mine telling me how often he gets offers of cash from clients and potential clients. Their idea is that if they pay in greenbacks, the lawyer won’t have to report to the IRS and will give a discount for it.
No matter how much one may like her stance on the issues, this is the reason she should never be president. I would vote for Bernie before I voted for her. If I were a liberal, that is.
I would vote for Sanders before her as well.No matter how much one may like her stance on the issues, this is the reason she should never be president. I would vote for Bernie before I voted for her. If I were a liberal, that is.
