The other half of the republicans are too busy denying global warming, and discriminating against homosexuals.

Perhaps after voting Bush into office on a promise to reverse Roe V Wade and an amendment in the Constitution, the religious right found themselves without either or even a glimmer of a chance. Maybe these poor duped souls are looking to issues that really matter this time around.

For most Republicans (and most Americans), abortion is not a make-it-or-break-it issue. The press tends to stereotype members of each party according to positions strongly held by a vocal minority. It gives the pundits something to talk about that is not too complex for their feeble minds.

OSCAR:
"For most Republicans (and most Americans), abortion is not a make-it-or-break-it issue."
This is only true once the candidate campaigns in the general election. But before a candidate faces the general election, the candidate must first win the party's nomination. And the more politically-active voters who attend campaign events, townhall meetings, debates, primaries, and caucuses well in advance of the general election tend to be more extreme than the average independent swing voter. It's no wonder that all of the Republican candidates are trying to cast themselves as the second coming of Ronald Reagan in order to win the core Republican base by demonstrating their conservative views on social issues.
Each candidate has a team of pollsters measuring voter reactions to determine how to win over the most voters. There's a reason why a record of conservative actions on social issues always comes up during public debates between Republican candidates.

Tennessee has two Republican senators, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker. Neither of them has ever called anyone, anywhere a "baby killer." If we go around the country we can find Republican officials in state after state who have never engaged in such rhetoric. You are invited to identify all the prominent Republicans who have used such language here.
In fact, they don't use such language, but you choose to perpetuate that lie because you think it brings political advantage to your side.
That makes it very difficult for anyone who reads your comments here to maintain any respect for your opinions.

Did you watch the debate last evening?
It was funny when lightning struck the building and shorted out Giuliani's microphone when he was trying to explain his stand on abortion.

What's Clinton got to do with Giuliani. He's been out of office for years! Rudy would be just as bad or worse if he were elected. Like JohnQPublic said if it hadn't been for 911, he would have been long forgotten! He's a waste! Looser.

No surprise here, conservatives don't seem very well informed about anything. And what they do know they are hypocrites about.
Abortion rates have risen significantly under Bush, after going down under Clinton. Yet all these so called "pro-lifers" support Bush and bash Clinton.
It just goes to prove that they don't really care about life, they just care about controlling other people's lives.

Freelance reporter Matt Lepacek, reporting for Infowars.com, was arrested for asking a question to one of Giuliani's staff members in a press conference. The press secretary identified the New York based reporter as having previously asked Giuliani about his prior knowledge of WTC building collapses and ordered New Hampshire state police to arrest him.
This is the exact question that must be asked over and over again at every event where either Giuliani or his advance team show up before the conventions next year

Can the once liberal party of Lincoln, now run by reactionary Southern Red State Morons, stomach a candidate with such liberal social views from a blue state such as Guiliani? I think that the GOP is headed for another hardline right-wing Southerner. John McCain's anti-abortion, hardline views are the moderate center of that party.

The reason the Republicans are pro-life has to do with the coalition they have pulled together. It includes social conservatives therefore it is pro-life. If it included feminists, it would be pro-choice. Rudy obviously thinks that a different coalition that includes feminists instead of social conservatives may be in order.
It may work. After all, are the social conservatives going to vote Democrat? The worse they would do is not vote. The social conservatives are just a bunch of suckers anyway. Bush has done almost nothing for them yet they still love him.
