They want the prohibitions but do not have the spine to admit it. The RNC has no plans for a Republican Party and are still hanging on to a desire for a Theocracy.

Most still feel that individual freedoms are an excuse for living a sinful life. I doubt that most Americans want a police state from D.C. and will vote Democratic instead of pushing for more Congressional legislation against sins.

The GOP would be much smarter to expose their own deep seated corruption and find candidates who know right from wrong.

You should correct your story.

The GOP brought this on and many of us want to know how far they will go to enforce their wishes?

During the past 6 years they have lost their identity, consequently their support. Bush is primarily responsible for that due to his incompetence. But their congress is equally responsible for blindly following him. The only support left to them comes from the religious base and that is waning. So, what is a republican? That’s what they have to figure out.

The last 6 years completely destroyed the time honored concept of what a republican was. They proved themselves to be anything but that. They became the “religious” party in order to win elections but reneged on those supporters. The standard small government and fisical responsibility republican watched them create the largest bureauocracy in history and plunge the nation into bankruptcy. The only ones the made happy were the gun rack in the pickup window set. The war party seems to be the only identity left and they are failng at that.

The one part of their identity that has survived is being the big business party. But that is no longer popular, even among the die hards. The candidates are floundering around trying to hold some of the framents of the base together. But they have no clear message for any of them. The RNC, not the candidates, must write a completely new platform for the party and then find a candidate other than what is presently available to fill it. Otherwise, the 2008 election will be the biggest blowout in history making the Johnson Goldwater vote look like a squeaker for Johnson. And congress will be so blue they will have to redecorate.

I realize abortion is an ugly story, and obviously unwanted pregnancy should be headed off before conception even occurs, but to the anti-abortion crowd I offer a link that might wake you up to the possibility that we are living in times of diminishing resources; i.e, arable land, potable freshwater supplies, and even our coastlines will diminish due to impending global warming causing the displacement or worse of 200 million people world-wide due to rising ocean levels.

Many if not most of these people that were conceived due to unwanted, ill-thought couplings are the poorest of the poor. So Romney and his brethren need to glue their noses on this type of information and start thinking about their politically opportunistic publicly stated policies. I believe Romny is Mormon and Mormon’s like Catholics believe in having large families. Catholics and Mormons are even against birth control which would head off the problem at the head end. Just as the lower animal populations on occasion, humans are going to populate themselves out of their habitat.

Are these are the kind of public policy-makers we need to elect in times of diminishing resources…?! If the American electorate continues to elect/re-elect these baby-kissing, chicken-in every-pot, Ford-in-every-garage, religious based, shallow pols it will be their undoing for sure.

My people are not religious. We understand that the sun is our supreme enity that, together with the earth, provides for all life. Unfortunately, we are the very few who seem to respect that. We have always tried to exist within natures framework instead of altering it. But the human race has altered it.

Nature, the sun and the earth, will now correct what the humans have done. It will remove all or a sufficient number of those that created the problem – The humans. The earth is in no danger. We are. So, arguing about abortion is nonconsequential and it is too late to address birth control even if the religions would allow it.

Those who accept and understand the reality will concentrate on survival. Those who don’t will die. The rest of this century will be a cleansing of the planet. Nature will establish a new order that may or may not include humans. This is not the first time nature has altered the balance of the planet and it probably won’t be the last. So, I guess it makes no difference if people choose to waste the time they have left arguing about things that make no difference.
