You can argue till you're blue in the face about taxes, healthcare, foreign policy, energy, whatever. None of it matters. I'm sympathetic about the abortion issue (not about the gay issue), but I find it ironic that the only party talking about having an honest discussion about finding common ground to reduce the number of abortions is the Dems and Obama. Did that sentiment come up once at the Republican convention? The truth is, the Republican big-wigs love the abortion and gay issues. It's like a drug they keep feeding their base to keep them happy Republican soldiers. <BR/><BR/>I have tremendous respect for your willingness to break from the conservative Christian political herd. It takes guts to be the outcast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881186371752795468.post-59782509914911361262008-09-05T22:43:00.000-04:002008-09-05T22:43:00.000-04:00yes......my thoughts exactly on the whole "as...yes......my thoughts exactly on the whole "as a party we've failed the american public" speech. It brings into question, does the party even KNOW what it stands for anymore? He is accurate in saying it's moved away from the party of Lincoln & Roosevelt.....and me. Just like Reagan said "I didn't leave the democratic party, it left me" only, its the R's who left me. or did they right me?<BR/><BR/>I hear you're causing quite a stir on the pfm site, send some of those die-hard R's my way, I'll set 'em strait.hoosier rebornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04401432969706851303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881186371752795468.post-82386246932125120362008-09-05T22:27:00.000-04:002008-09-05T22:27:00.000-04:00Well said.

I imagine it goes unnoticed by most people. <BR/><BR/>Second, can we really call McCain a maverick when he has changed most of his maverick positions to appease the Republican base? As an Independent voter, he didn't give me any comfort.<BR/><BR/>Third, how bizzare is it that Republicans are now campaigning against the record of their own party for the last 8 years? Re-elect us again because we did such a terrible job. Weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
