National Review Online: Giuliani Won't Be The Moral Leader Republicans Need

[cbs_oliver]

Only the unborn are safe from the hate and murderous inclinations of the "religious" right.

There isn''t a single Republican candidate that isn''t profoundly spiritually corrupted.

It''s too bad, but they have taken a wrong turn and seem unable to come about.

[fairandbal]

The GOP''s ground on Morality is all smoke and mirrors... Anyone who votes GOP in 2006 in reality supported the war and killing of tens of thousands.... call that pro life?

Jesus reality in teaching was in regard to social justice and the poor, not about protecting the super wealthy which is the sole regard of the GOP leadership. (remember the quote "it''s easier for a camel to pass through they eye of a needle...")
The ONLY reason the GOP uses the abortion debate is to capture the fundamentalist vote, they have no interest in actually abolishing abortion.....

Reagan anchored this cause to his faith, quoting the words of Christ: %u201CSuffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of God.%u201D He insisted that, %u201CGod%u2019s most blessed gift to his family is the gift of life. He sent us the Prince of Peace as a babe in the manger.%u201D

If only you con''s would quote the words of Christ in reference to war or compassion for the poor. Instead you follow the rich, who trick you into voting for their economic programs that by design benefit them only, while they give lip service only to your dream of forcing your beleifs on others.

How terribly sad for you, your credibility and our country.

LOL. You gotta love this: "There is no candidate - none - in the history of presidential politics as radical as Hillary Clinton on abortion."

If that isn''t preaching fear to the fearful. I''d love to see a lineup of the people who receive this magazine. They''ve got to be among the 24% that still support Bush.

[ultomatt-2009]

I see this sign all the time at pro-life protests...

Abortions kill babies

Now don''t get me wrong, I wish there weren''t abortions, but the reality is as follows...

Illegal abortions kill mothers and babies

That''s the reality. The fantasy is that you can stop it by making it illegal. That was the tacit agreement in Roe v Wade, that it is a sad reality of life that mothers and babies die when abortions are illegal, and thus it was made legal to, and this is admittedly ironic, save life. Abortions have been going on since the beginning of time, and they will continue, legal or not.

My mother told me, shortly before she died, that she had had an abortion long before I was born, and she nearly died, because she had to go to a butcher to get it done, and she suffered a serious infection from the procedure this quack did on her...illegally. I know she felt shame for doing it, but it was done, and the crime that was committed very nearly saw the death of the mother and baby...and this is going to be the norm for abortions when they''re made illegal.

I know there''s no way to bridge this gap, but this is about reality, and compassion for desperate young women who do desperate and unfortunate things. That is a fact. And the fact is, making abortions illegal again will only increase the dangers to mothers and babies. Making them illegal will NOT stop them from happening.

Which GOP?

Lincoln''s?
Roosevelt''s?
Eisenhower''s?
Nixon''s?
Reagan''s?
Bush''s?

Each one is distinctly different.

More hypocrisy from the so called "right", who, as usual, could never be more wrong. Next!

[rayuk-2009]

Here we go again! The nutty NRO going against the grain. Over two thirds support abortion and want to keep it legal. Why must we listen or read anything these nuts have to say. They are a part of the cancer on America.

[bm6005]

Strange, they don''t like abortion but love WAR!! This is why I have been an atheist. I''m a recovering christian!

[fairandbal]

Ron Paul is the ONLY hope for this country and he''s failing to make inroads with the ''we love the Iraq war'' GOP party. Please everyone, we MUST encourage Ron Paul to start a third party campaign right now. It''s the only hope to save this country!!!!

[macusweil]

GOP would like to see all the ''breeders'' kept in forced pregnancy such that they can field a large enough army of poor and former middle-class for their goals global mass destruction.

[walt1944-2009]

The editors of the NRO feel that Giuliani is not the answer to keeping the Fascist Republicans in power as they would much rather have someone like the Great Emperor Bush II in charge. Their argument is that Giuliani is not pro-life, yet you have a wars going on which are certainly NOT Pro-life, AND the Emperor is continuing his vetos on SCHIP (original and revised) with the blind support of the Fascist Republican congressmen, which put millions of children in peril.

It appears that what the Emperor and the Fascist Republicans are saying is that we MUST HAVE babies, but the government won''t help to take care of them.

Go figure!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

[terrapin78]

Right-wingers lecturing on morals. What a joke.

[bm6005]

What a joke; what exactly would the repugs know about morals! Perhaps lying us into a war, having low life hypocritical congressional reps, not supporting S-Chips. I could go on and on but I have limited time on this planet!

[oleander8]

If you don''t believe in abortion - don''t have one. What anyone else believes or does, is none of your business. Congress and the supreme court can pass laws until their bellies turn blue - it will not stop abortion - it will just make it dangerous.

[mswolfestock]

I have some questions for anyone who claims to be "pro-life:" HOW MANY UN-ABORTED BABIES HAVE YOU ADOPTED? HOW MANY SINGLE MOTHERS HAVE YOU SUPPORTED? All of the anti-abortion people are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. They claim to have a lot of interest in a tiny clump of cells but once those clumps of cells become babies, the so-called "pro-lifers" are nowhere to be found. You hypocrites can tell me not to have an abortion when you show me your family full of adopted kids. I promise that I, as a pro-choice supporter, will never tell any of you hypocrites to have an abortion yourself if you don''t want to have one. IT''S ALL ABOUT HAVING THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE, REMEMBER? Oh yeah, you hypocrites are welcome to change your mind about legal abortion when your under-age daughters come home pregnant. You''re welcome to change your minds about legal abortion when your sister gets date-raped. You''re welcome to change your minds about legal abortion BECAUSE YOU ARE THE SAME HYPOCRITES WHO DON''T WANT TO FUND HEALTH-CARE AND WELFARE BENEFITS FOR ALL THOSE UN-ABORTED (BUT UN-WANTED) BABIES. YOU ARE THE SAME ONES WHO DON''T WANT TO GIVE WOMEN ACCESS TO RELIABLE BIRTH CONTROL. YOU CAN''T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. If you hypocrites were in favor of access to affordable birth control for all women, then the number of abortions would be drastically reduced, and isn''t that what you say you want? RIGHT TO LIFE, YOU''RE A LIE - YOU DON''T CARE IF WOMEN DIE.
