Minnick has received money and support from NARAL. Evidently the abortionists consider him their man. Sorry, I can understand the wish to support a few Democrats to avoid the all-Republican label, but this just won’t do.
If the Tea Party starts supporting abortionists, then the hell with it.
Think again, you “leaders” who did this. Think really hard. Do not destroy the Tea Party in order to make a token move to appease the press.
I am anti abortion and would never consider voting for a Democrat, because (look at Stupak) even the ones who say they are anti abortion will cave. Stupak probably was threatened with the loss of everything he holds dear in that conference with Obama, including his cat and dog.
That said, the tea party does not have an anti abortion platform. From what I understand they have a simple, fiscal responsibility and traditional founding fathers against government tyranny platform. They are a “big tent”.
This is why I consider myself a member of the Constitution party.
Seven Principles of the Constitution Party are:
1.Life: For all human beings, from conception to natural death;
2.Liberty: Freedom of conscience and actions for the self-governed individual;
3.Family: One husband and one wife with their children as divinely instituted;
4.Property: Each individual’s right to own and steward personal property without government burden;
5.Constitution: and Bill of Rights interpreted according to the actual intent of the Founding Fathers;
6.States’ Rights: Everything not specifically delegated by the Constitution to the federal government, nor prohibited by the Constitution to the states, is reserved to the states or to the people;
7.American Sovereignty: American government committed to the protection of the borders, trade, and common defense.
I will vote for any candidate that promotes these things, I don’t care what party they are.
