90% and the vast majority of those were not significant policy issue related but casual senate business.Why is McCain called a "maverick", anyway?
95% of his votes were in line with what Bush wanted.
Do what you will with your own body. The baby is not a part of your body.I see your point, trust me. BUT no one, especially the government, should be able to tell me what to do with MY body. It is up to the person to decide if they have the mental fortitude to carry a child that is a by product of rape or incest.
Then please stop the Government from funding Planned Parenthood.Whether I choose to have a child or not is none of your business or the government's.
Its not their body thats being melted by acid, ripped to pieces by a vacuume, or torn and sliced to pieces by scissors.For me it's simple, I am pro-life for myself. Meaning, I couldn't see myself having an abortion (unless it's life or death). It's my child, no matter how it was conceived. But pro-choice for everyone else. Meaning, I respect their right to choose, it's none of my business, and I have no rights over their body.
I find it odd that you would celebrate and proudly declare that nothing anyone says will cause you to reconsider the support of mass murder.This is a complicated subject, we can debate this all day, BUT nothing anyone says will change my mind.
Either you are right and he is wrong or you are wrong and he is right.I'm Pro-life too, just so you know. But I want the right to choose. So we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I'm right from my side and you're right from yours.
My former best friend is homeless.blaming the homeless for their own situation is a culture kept alive and well by the conservative elements of society.
In other words:you're 5 years old and you live in Zimbabwe. you are dying because of a lack of food and the water you drink is tainted. your parents have been killed by the government and you live in a makeshift refugee camp on the border with another family. Where's the choice there?? that 5 year old chose that life? can that 5 year old just 'fix himself up' how can you choose the help the unborn but not the living infants? because they're not American? if not, then do you advocate that abortion should be illegal only in america but acceptable in other countries, because non-american babies will be killed?
They do. Crisis Pregnancy Centres.Advocate or legislate? why not instead of making the abortion solution law or government responsibility, why not just make it something that missionaries and charities take care of?
That is a pure canard. Americans help the rest of the world far more than you seem to think. Many, if not most, of those who go and help and give are Conservatives who would also be Pro-life.and why not advocate good choice rather then law. because the American government could do a massive amount to alivate the suffering of innocents in this world, but its voters just dont care one bit. its all about abortion.
That is pure nonsense.here's the bottom line. there is a complete lack of consistancey when you say you are 'pro life' and against abortion because you have a moral objection to the infliction of death upon the innocent defenseless and those with no choice. BUT IGNORE through one issue voting, every living innocent and defenseless person on the planet.
She imposed a windfall profits tax on the oil companies in Alaska.Yes, because we need someone under investigation for abuse of power who's got an oil lobbyist as a lieutenant governor (not to mention the campaign donations) as our VP.
No offense, but I seriously wonder which of you are the greedy and which are the deceived.
Yes it is. I would not want to have a leader that we are afraid to make fun of, I think that would be a sad day indeed for Democracy. This process should not be taken so seriously as many do, yes it's important, make a good decision, vote well, but don't let your life be consumed with it, it's as bad or worse than any other type of media sensationalism.
Do what you will with your own body. The baby is not a part of your body.
Then please stop the Government from funding Planned Parenthood.
Its not their body thats being melted by acid, ripped to pieces by a vacuume, or torn and sliced to pieces by scissors.
It's the babies.
I find it odd that you would celebrate and proudly declare that nothing anyone says will cause you to reconsider the support of mass murder.
Either you are right and he is wrong or you are wrong and he is right.
You can't have it both ways.
My former best friend is homeless.
Why? Because he refused to actually do anything with his life.
He was given opportunity after opportunity.
He refused them all.
He could get a job. He doesn't.
The Homeless in the Tenderloin of San Francisco are almost entirely drug addicts and alcoholics. They spend their Social Security and Welfare each month on drugs and booze. They could stop. They don't.
Quite a few have mental issues and need help. They are the ones we need to focus resources on.
In other words:
I can't win this debate, so I have to appeal to emotional stories.
I know that talking about pro-lifers in America not helping the unaborted babies... because that would be quickly proven false.
Hey I got it! Lets criticise American pro-lifers because they are not omni-potent and can't help everyone everywhere!
Conclusion: Since we can't entirely help every 5 year old in Zimbabe, lets not protect babies here!
They do. Crisis Pregnancy Centres.
That is a pure canard. Americans help the rest of the world far more than you seem to think. Many, if not most, of those who go and help and give are Conservatives who would also be Pro-life.
That is pure nonsense.
She imposed a windfall profits tax on the oil companies in Alaska.
Not the actions of someone influenced by a lobbyist.
And who, praytell, is conducting that 'investigation'?
Erm. Obama isn't a muslim. Seriously, do your research.
No, you are definitely not. The more I find out about her, the more the idea of her anywhere near the White House scares me.Am I the only one who finds Palin terrifying? lol
Am I the only one who finds Palin terrifying? lol
Ad hominem. I never disparaged you or tried to marginalize you with loaded terms.wow! you missed the point more then any of the other fundamentalists on here!
Anyone who believes that abortions is someone's "choice" is defending it.firstly, you seem to think i'm defending abortion or something? not sure where you got that one from.
I doubt it.you are completly failing to see my point
Or your charicature of it.which is the lack of consistancy and logic with conservative thought.
No Conservatives advocates no government. That is Anarachy which is generally more on the liberal side.*conservative thinking*I advocate small/no government,
That is a straw man of small Government.the government has no right getting involved in my affairs.
Second Amendment.if i choose to a gun (or a surface to air missle as some members here have expressed), i should be able to own one.
Conservatives spend more money and more time helping charities than Liberals do. Liberals generally expect the Government to do the charity work for them.If i dont want to get involved in charity or the support of welfare, thats my choice, i shouldnt have to.
I agree that we should be able to choose what school we want.I should choose what school I want, not be forced to spend my taxes on state ones.
That is generally because most Conservatives believe that private healthcare works far better overall than public healthcare.I should be able to choose to fund my own healthcare, not have it taxed out of me against my choice. etc etc etc."
False dichotomy based on a straw man.HOWEVER the 'choice' to have an abortion is something the government should control absolutly?!?!?!?! with no say by the citizens?!?!?!? they either have a degree of control or they dont!! if the government has no say in your life, then why should they control that???
That is not the obvious rebuttal.now............here's where the problem is. the obvious rebuttal is that 'unlike education/health/guns/taxes which affect adults, an unborn baby is defenceless' yes!
Again, Straw man, false accusations, false dichotomies, misrepresentations of the opposing views, ect.However, if you belive that defending the defenseless is a government concern (which you do if you think abortion should be a legal issue) then why dosent the government defend ALL those who are defenseless in society? it is completely hyprocritical to say you belive in the legal defence of those who cannot support themselves yet be so passionatly opposed to government efforts to help those that cannot support themselves!!
Yes. If it is the will of the people. Because this is a Democratic Republic.i'll leave on this point..............do you belive that America should be pro choice if its citizens vote pro choice?
Definitely not. I really, really hope that she doesn't end up in power.Am I the only one who finds Palin terrifying? lol
