When the Congress initially passed the law banning Partial Birth Abortion, Billy Clintoooon vetoed it.

It was the New England Socialist Republicans that provided the margin of defeat for an override. Those Socialists were Snowe, Jeffords, Collins, and Chaffee (the father), all REPUBLICANS at the time.

These Socialists along with Spectre are the reason that I believe President Bush has NOT had a majority in the Senate!

In New Jersey, Christie Witless vetoed the state legislation that prohibited Partial Birth Abortion! So the political division should be Conservative vs Liberal, NOT Republican vs Democrap!

So true!

(". . . socialist along with spectre . . . " - good one [hehehe])

That's NE politics and outside the NE, the ideological lines are more defined. When I talk of republican/conserv. and Dems/libs I DO tend to lump them togather based on ideologies and most importantly, who one VOTES for on the ballot. Generally speaking, the Northeast politicians are the exception. Elsewhere, a lib is a lib is a democrat and, likewise with the republicans. (i.e. the lib generally VOTES for the dem on the ballot and, the conservative VOTES for the republican on the ballot).

As one talks politics to others, one has to convey why you vote for one political party candidate over another. A 1-2-3 issue oriented argument is too restrictive and limits political ideology. To me, the party with the majority wins the day be it at the State or Federal level. Winning the majority Legislature and Congress puts a stamp on propagating conservatism throughout this country the greatest. If I'm basing my vote on an individual candidate based upon 'abortion' only (granted this is a big issue with me) I may NOT vote for the republican ticket candidate and, end up losing the majority to the democrats. The horrors now occur: A democrat controlled committee, re-districting issues, legislature and/or congress, etc. etc. to propagate their destructive ideologies upon the citizens.

I could go on but, the list is long . . .
