Out and Down

This is an exert from an interview with John McCain in 1999 regarding Roe vs. Wade

Q: In 1999, you said, "In the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in American to undergo illegal and dangerous operations."
A: That was in the context of conversation about having to change the culture of America as regards to this issue. I have stated time after time after time that Roe v. Wade was a bad decision, that I support the rights of the unborn.

Q: If Roe v. Wade was overturned during a McCain presidency, and individual states chose to ban abortion, would you be concerned that, as you said, X number of women in America would undergo illegal and dangerous operations?

A: No, I would hope that X women in America would bring those children into life in this world, and that I could do whatever I could to assist them. Again, that conversation from 1999, so often quoted, was in the context of my concerns about changing the culture in America to understand the importance of the rights of the unborn

The problem Busby, you just dont get it. you can sit here and blame Obama supporters for Hillary down fall. but the bottom line, obama supporters didnt do it. Hillary did it to her self. Did she not think her making up stories will not catch up to her in the end? or Agreeing not to count MI and FL , but come back almost a year later whining about why we are not counting them? Or how about telling americans she is against NAFTA, but yet held meetings fro it, come on , stop blaming others for her faults. if anything you guys should be happy with hillary. she put up a strong fight, but yet you guys want to be nasty and start blaming others.

and for the hillary supporters who are now going to vote for mccain, please do so. we dont need voters who vote on pure emotions, we want voters to actually read these polices that these candiates set forth. i am voting for the best policy that t the canidate has to offer, not on emotion.

If hillary was the canidate, then my vote goes to her. but in tihs case its going to obama. since they both have the pretty much the same views. why would i want to vote for some one who has totally opposite views then the canidate i prefer? its obivious that hatered has clouded your judgment. so i am glad y ou guys are going to vote for mccain, i dont want to be associated with ppl with so much hate, that they will vote against their canidates views.

I am a staunch Obama supporter, but the MSM needs to leave Hillary Clinton alone. This is getting really ridiculous. Hillary Clinton deserves to be recognized for what she has done for this party: mobilizing women voters like never before, drawing attention to the needs of the middle class, and for making Barack Obama a better GE contestant because she was and IS a fierce and tough competitor. There is no doubt in my mind that she may be depressed after coming so close, but that is not something that the media needs to gleefully anounce in a two-page essay. Mrs. Clinton is entitled to process this loss IN PRIVATE. She deserves a lot more empathy and respect than what continues to be directed at her, and she deserves to decompress from this hard-fought defeat on her own terms. Shame on the media ... once again!

Ugh...another article treating Hillary's collapse like it was a general election loss. Wake up people, she lost the primary, it's over, and it's not nearly as big of a deal as the Clintons, their supporters, and many in the media are making it out to be. Maybe some of the political junkies out there enjoy talking in circles about it all...just some. But I think the average American has moved on.

Anybody else tired of the Clintons. It was getting nice when they took their little break from everything. I'm afraid it won't stay that way for long.

The issue of Hillary's fake love-fest will pale in comparison to Obama's connections. Around most of America, east coast, west coast and midwest....Obama is being viewed as a huge phony....the most extreme left wing candidate we have ever had to this point....but with a nice smile.
Obama's "close 20 year relationship" with a bigot named Reverand Wright is being discussed at the water cooler by Americans every day more and more. And that reverand's "close relationship" with one of America's biggest racists, Louis Farrakhan, who was given a lifetime achievement award by Obama's church. (hello?). Birds of a Feather, folks.. Most of America is starting to figure it out. Especially Hillary fans and Jewish voters.
Remember, this is the same nation that re-elected a very unpopular George Bush only 3 1/2 years ago during an unpopular war. Also remember that Kerry led Bush 51%-44% in July....and he lost. And now....at only 46%-44%....the Obama Fever Gap is wearing off fast.
- John McCain will win this election.

this is to nins and sj and sharednews this a comment rebuttle ....a child has a soul at conception that is stated in the bible !! as for woman they can do what they want with thier bodies i don't care but it is the woman who does things like abortion and sleezy sex with many men that will have to pay in the end i was NOT refering to little girls that got molested or a woman who got raped or was in danger of dying for the pregnancy i was how ever speaking about all those sleezy women who don't use any method of birth control and get abortion on a regular basis they do exist and they are on these blogs if your offended then too bad but i will not compromise my thoughts on this horrible thing that goes on in this country watch a video of a late term abortion and see the poor child try and fight off the doctor thats trying to kill it the poor child actually tries to get away for the scaple and vacume device

Why would she be unwilling to admit defeat? Maybe because her run was derailed by a news media which ridiculed and belittled her at every opportunity? She was the only decent candidate the Democrats had. Thank God I'm a Republican. But if Obama wins, it won't be long until even the Dems regret their stupidity.

Democratic Disenfranchisement: The Final Report
The Final Report: Democratic Disenfranchisement

http://politicallydrunk.blogspot.com/2008/06/democratic-disenfranchisement-final.html

NOTE: Hillary Supporters, beware. Obama supperters are so desperate about this site ( www.blog.pumapac.org ; check it out) being available to us Hillary supporters that they are now starting to make up posts they say are on the above mentioned site; check out Posted By: sjpersonal @ 06/12/2008 6:39:00 PM blog below. SJ, shame on you.

It has been the stated goal of the religious right to appoint conservative judges to overturn Roe vs. Wade for years. Bush is on board with this plan. Every single judge that Bush appointed to every single Federal bench that came open during his tenure was a right wing Christian conservative. The Democrats were stymied when the GOP controlled congress, and Bush got to appoint two right wing Supreme Court Justices.

First Bush appointed John Roberts to replace Sandra Day O'Connor when she stepped down. When Chief Justice Wm. Rehnquist died in 2005, Bush appointed Roberts as Chief Justice, and then filled O'Connor's empty chair with Samuel Alito. Both Roberts and Alito are Catholic, and both are outspoken against abortion.

Bush has appointed two of the nine Justices, including the Chief Justice. The current Supreme Court has been sharply divided on a number of high profile issues, including abortion rights, affirmative action, eminent domain, gay rights, the separation of church and state, sovereign immunity, and states' rights. The number of close votes in cases involving these areas suggests that a change of one or two key justices could completely shift the thinking of the Court on such issues.

Right now there are four Justices who are elderly and will soon either retire or die. The next President will get to appoint at least two new Justices. If the next President is McCain, those two will both be conservative right wing Christians. McCain has publicly PROMISED to do this, and explicitly said that his goal is to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Most Americans, even most Republicans, value the separation of church and state. That clause is in our Constitution to protect us from exactly what is going on in America today! Allowing any religious group (especially a radical one) to control the interpretation and application of our laws in the highest court in the land is NOT democratic. Nor is it wise.


I don't care if you are a disappointed Hillary supporter or an undecided Independent or a life-long Republican or are pro-Obama. ANYONE, regardless of stripe, needs to vote against a candidate who had declared his intention of appointing partisan judges. Judges are supposed to be impartial. That is the basis of our legal system. Without that, you might as well live in a dictatorship, without recourse to law.

TO NEWSWEEK BLOGGERS (specifically if you are NOT an Obama supporter; although beware of a few Republican bloggers in democratic clothing in some cases):

If you are a very good blogger that brings detailed info to the forefront about your candidate to support your candidate against an offense said about your candidate by a blogger or if you bring detailed info to the forefront about the opponents candidate (including source info: with links) to discredit their candidate they do not like it at all to the point of getting NASTY and resulting in you getting targeted to be e.g. a White Supremist. Racist. compared to Hitler. You name it!!

MY SUGGESTION: Next time you get a degrading blog from The O TEAM or ANYONE else for that matter, ask them to give you an example of one of your blogs that confirms what they are saying as being racist, et al. Depending on the accused blogger, in most cases they wont be able to give us an example. That is my plan moving forward. In my case, all of my blogs I have never gotten into name calling, racist attacks, only opinions backed up with source info / links that (some) Obama supporters just go nuts when they see them (or they can be Republicans just doing the same under Democratic clothing.) Hard to tell most times but I have my thoughts / opinions / suspicions in that area as to specific bloggers that are part of that (group O Team effort) of bloggers that have non-flattering (to put it mildly) comments about non-Obama supporters. Just though I'd share. --Sharenews : - ).

Take a break with her family, Hillary may emerge later as a powerful figure in promoting universal health coverage. Obama, if wins the white house, will have a much tougher job as he is not as qualified as she is. He will need all the help for cleaning up Bush's mess. He will need her help.
