As I said before, the left has nothing to offer but hatred for an answer. On the average the democrats have more millionares, corruption, felons, liars, sexual perverts, and all around crooks in DC than Republicans. That said both parties could use some cleanup. Let's start with Clinton, Conyers, Boxer, Fienstien, KENNEDY (all of them), Biden, Pelosi, Frank, Hagel,,,, Rats!! There's not enough room on this page to list them all. If the moonbat left doesn't use some connon sense, I realise that's an oxymoron, in their selection of candidates the "Jackboots" will soon be at their door! They're are not called "Usefull Idiots" by the left for nothing!

It's hard for me to belive that Sieg Hile Hillery was at one time a Republican. She must have needed an abortion or smoked some weed with Bill!

Yeah, at about the same time that not-cuttin' and runnin' Bush was hiding out in Alabama while brave men were fighting in Vietnam.

As far as it goes, Fred Thompson is the closest thing to a true Republican as there is in the race.

I agree. The Republican party is a party of crooks, liars, greedy war profiteers, adulterers, conmen, sleazeballs masquerading as morally upright, strong on family values, patriotic, righteous Christians.

Fred Thompson is the most talented among this bunch of actors.

As far as it goes, Fred Thompson is the closest thing to a true Republican as there is in the race. All the other prominent candidates seem to want to straddle the fence and be all things to all people. Seriously, most people aren't fooled by the fence sitters. You have to make a stand and then you win or you lose.

Like he wisely admits, "One advantage you have in not ... having this as lifelong ambition is that if it turns out that your calculation is wrong, it's not the end of the world." The problem with most presidential candidates is that they will do anything to win the election. As in sell out the American people. Not the kind of president we should want.

Who knows whether Fred will run or win, but I can appreciate that he can take a stand that fits with his party heritage.

oleander says "If you are against abortion - don't have one."

Here's a better solution. "If you don't want to become pregnant, don't have ***, or use contraception when you do. That way you don't have to murder another person because you don't have the sense to protect yourself while practicing sexual promiscuity."

The dems used to pride themselves on standing up for the defenseless and downtrodden. In abortion, the defenseless one is the unborn child, and most dems support the woman's choice to kill her own child. Why are the dems not defending the defenseless unborn child.

The woman had her choice when she decided to have ***. All pro-lifers want is to protect the child's choice. I doubt many unborn children would 'choose' to be killed in the womb, or partially out of the womb. Let the children have a choice.

Some women claim a right to do what they wish with their own bodies. Well, go ahead, do what you want with your own bodies, but let the children do the same. Give them the opportunity to do what they want with their own bodies.

Four of these states provide funding voluntarily (HI, MD, NY,1 and WA); in thirteen, courts interpreting their state constitutions have declared broad and independent protection for reproductive choice and have ordered nondiscriminatory public funding of abortion (AK, AZ, CA, CT, IL, MA, MN, MT, NJ, NM, OR, VT, and WV).2 Thirty-two of the remaining states pay for abortions for low-income women in cases of life-endangering circumstances, rape, or incest, as mandated by federal Medicaid law.3 (A handful of these states pay as well in cases of fetal impairment or when the pregnancy threatens "severe" health problems, but none provides reimbursement for all medically necessary abortions for low-income women.) Finally, one state (SD) fails even to comply with the Hyde Amendment, instead providing coverage only for lifesaving abortions.
