Seems that failure to vote Republican to certain posters means voting for abortion. Sickening, isn’t it?didn’t say that, bob…watch the spin, there. It is my right as an American to choose a candidate for elected office. I also have the right to privacy and the right not to disclose who I voted for. I know what separation of church and state actually means.
No, it’s the other way. Voting for a candidate, regardless of party, who supports abortion means voting for abortion.
President Bush, in signing a bill which outlawed torture, including what is known as a “signing statement.” This states his interpretation of the law. In that signing statement, he said that outlawing torture would indeed be the law of the land, but that he could break this law if he found torture to be in the interest of “national security.” This is all part of public record and can be easily verified. The president, therefore, supports torture. By the logic of many posters here, anyone who voted for him thereby supports torture.
Actually, I raised the issue of torture to demonstrate what I see as flawed logic (see post above). I could have substituted any issue, even something as relatively unheated, like funding for insecit research. I did not have to use an issue involving human dignity, but chose that one because I think most of the posters here oppose torture. I do not believe that “waterboarding terrorists is morally equivalent to killing the unborn.” I made no such assertion.You miss the point. The point is not to start a thread about torture, but to raise a smokescreen – pretending waterboarding terrorists is morally equivallent to killing the unborn. So it’s okay to vote pro-abortion.
Exactly-as has been pointed out numerwous times by numerous posters.
No, you didn’t – you raised it as a smokescreen. It’s the old “Johnny does it, too” argument that didn’t work on your mother.
Then why raise the issue?
President Bush did not run on a policy of allowing torture and President Bush’s party does not call for torture in his platform. There is actually no comparison.
Well I’ll bet that comes as a surprise to everybody in this thread.’ So you will vote for Republicans and you won’t vote for anyone who supports abortion which I assume means basically you don’t vote ,. BTW -the way the only one who has mentioned Satan in this thread is you
I disagree with your characterization of the Republican Party. But then that’s what politics is all about. Regardless of what one thinks about the Republican Party they do not have a party platform that calls for taxpayer-funded butchering of children, one simply cannot get around that
For what? For stating the truth?
There we go with the forced abortion and slavery accusations. Of course they are not true but when put in a corner that canard is always pulled out. I assume your purpose of bringing this up is to try and change the subject as you are faring badly in this discussion.
Ah, but that’s where the satanic lie comes in. I don’t vote for anyone who’s pro-“choice.” I just refuse to vote Republican, period. That means that I’ll either be an undervote or I’ll vote third party pro-life. Get it?
The 2008 Republican convention, where the planks to cover up the corporatist, anti-working person agenda are thrown on top to provide cover, hasn’t happened yet.
Your hatred of the republican party is noted. of course it has nothng to do with the morality of voting for pro-abortion canidates but if it makes you feel better have it.
I said I will NOT vote for Republicans. I won’t vote for anyone who votes for abortion. So, that leaves me as either an undervote or voting pro-life third party.
No, I called your lies satanic in nature.
You are, of course entitled to your own opinion. You are not, however, entitled to your own set of facts.
That’s because they oppose taxpayer-funded ANYTHING. It’s not motivated by a pro-life sentiment or belief, it’s motivated by a deep hatred of anything done by the government and taxes. It flows from a belief that the worst possible evil is a tax.
For calumny.
Again, you are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own set of facts.
I recommend you take your own advice.
Interesting he refers to the evil in the Republican party 2008 platform-which of course is not yet in existence.
But he doesn’t let that little fact stop him.
Do you actually expect the Republican party to change its corporatist, anti-working person ideology this year? I certainly don’t. In fact, I expect them to throw more and more snow over the putrefying dunghill to hide the stench.
Ah, what an insightful argument, backed by extensive cites.
I thought we were talking about their party platform -not your personal unsubstatited opinion of what they stand for.
Um…not so much.
I get it. You won’t vote for any of the Dems or Repubs. I’m not aware of any prolife third party candidate yet, but it could happen. Failing that, you won’t vote. That’s not the worst idea I’ve seen on here.
