Big man...Big Man!
Giuliani, who stands up for abortion rights, stands up for gay rights, stands up for stem-cell research will appoint judges who believe otherwise just so 25% of the country will vote for him.
Really Rudy, if you're so damn tough, loose being real instead of winning being fake.
I'm looking at you too Hillary.
Thompson's endorsement of federalism on Meet the Press today is the path the Republicans need to take if they want votes from people like me.
They love to use the Bible to defend their anti-choice, anti-gay positions, but Thompson shows why Republicans should really be opposed to Roe vs. Wade, because it trumps federalism.
Thompson supports states deciding on gay marriage and abortion, and so do I. I'm pro-choice and strongly pro-gay marriage, but I think this fight should be taken to the states.
I endorse a country where all 50 states legalize abortion and gay marriage, but through state jurisdictions and not federal jurisdictions. What isn't implied or stated in the Constitution is left up to the states. That's why if we lived in the 1950's, I'd probably be a conservative Republican.
Thompson has quickly jumped into the front as being my favorite Republican. I'm still going to probably vote Democratic next year, but I feel comfortable with someone like Thompson.
Abortion is kind of a big deal to the Republicans, Rudy.
They've been winning people with that issue since the 1970's. It's why Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) became a Republican and it's why Rep. Walter Jones (R-North Carolina) said he wouldn't switch parties.
On the other hand, Republicans do like scaring the crap out of everyone by traumatizing them with memories of 9/11, so Rudy fits that mark.
Would this guy make up his mind already?
I don't know, they say he's a great decisive leader, but how great and decisive can he be if he cannot even come up with his stance on abortion.
I must say, I am not a big fan of abortion. I tend to be more conservative on that topic than most who fall in the same place on the political scale as me.
Yet, I understand why it is legal and I don't pass judgement on women who should make the choice, and I abhor the theocratic fascists who use abortion to warp the minds of people like me into becoming, well, theocratic fascists.
For the first time since 1973, the Supreme Court has ruled to narrow abortion rights a bit, by upholding a federal law banning abortion after the first trimester. To be quite honest, that doesn't concern me in the least. If you should choose to have an abortion, choose to do it in the first 12 weeks or don't have it at all. I think most agree with that concept.
Ironically, the bill leaves out the one reason most think abortion should be legal, a woman's life. If there is proof that a woman will die if she does not undergo an abortion (and therefore, chances are, the baby will die too,) then there should be the exception. However, for any reason, I don't see a problem here.
Really, why would anyone want to go through or even perform a procedure that is so barbaric?
Nevertheless, the theocratic fascists are going to be claiming victory here. That it is the first step in turning America into a Christian police state. Next they'll be banning all abortion, overturning Lawrence v. Texas, sending homosexuals to "reeducation" camps, stripping non-Christians of their rights and replacing the Supreme Court with a Cathedral. To prevent this, I will almost defenitely vote Democratic in the next Presidential election.
Yeah, I know it's a little bit paranoid, but I just don't trust theocratic fascists. I'll give them this, but I'm not going to give them much else.
