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.

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.

Like flip-floppers Romney and McCain, Rudy is banking on our dim memories and indifference. All three seem to have a more cynical view of voters this time around assuming we don't really take anything they say seriously so they can say pretty much anything they want.

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.
