It’s not right when the government is not supporting the founding documents of this country — when it comes to the unalienable rights, which includes life. That’s so fundamental that it comes within the first few sentences ever uttered by this government of the United States.
No amount of weaseling around will get out of that fact that this is a right that no government can take away (although they may attempt to; it’s just not their right to do so and it has to be fought against when it’s done). To act negligently and not act to protect life is taking that life, when it’s the government’s duty to do so, as our founding documents state (the whole purpose of forming this new governments, along with other grievances).
As far as who I’m supporting — I’m waiting to see what good candidate the Republican Party produces that I can support. Let me know when they do that. I’ve been looking...

What percent of what I want should I “settle” for? I’ll put up some numbers by way of example.
Hillary 0
Giuliani 10 (fought tax cuts, anti-life, gay rights, anti-2nd...)
McCain 30 (but he is plain crazy.)
Romney 30 (I don’t believe he has changed his positions from when he campaigned in MA.)
Huckabee 35 (pro-tax, pro-illegal immmigration, nanny stater)
Thompson 90 (CFR - he apologized for being wrong about it. Impeachment - he voted for/against based upon the legal definitions and the evidence, not on the article that most agreed had the best chance of convicting.)
Hunter 90 (I just cannot give him 100 until he shows more appeal.)
Why should I vote for the under 50% candidates and weaken the party?
With all due respect sir, I don’t think any candidate will be up to your standards except Jesus Christ Himself and He’s not running last time I checked.
We have to consider the net effect a potential President has...and that is a function of policy AND electability.
Demonstrably false. The Declaration of Independence was passed by the Third Continental Congress, and the government of the congress was the Articles of Confederation. That government was overthrown by the Constitutuinal Convention with the state governments, about a dozen years after the Declaration.
While the Declaration of Independence is unquestionably the most eloquent statement of the basis for human freedom ever penned, it’s not the law.
It falls somewhere in the old statement that you can lead a mule to water but you cannot make him drink.
I didn’t make it. But I think it’s perfect.
If the founding documents are not adhered to, just as the original founding fathers found it necessary to form a new government to protect those unalienable rights, so too may other people in this present day and age find it necessary to do whatever is necessary to protect those same God-given unalienable rights which our country was founded to protect.

That’s just nonsense. FRed has a 100% pro-life record. Go FRed, GO!!
I can guarantee you one thing - If the election comes down between a New York Mayor against a New York Senator, I will not vote at all. I've lived there. And I will tell you another thing - I voted for Schwartezennegar here and after the fact found out he didn't campaign for ONE SINGLE REPUBLICAN last year.
Those days of loyalty ended just about a year ago for me.
So? are you leaning toward a candidate? Republican? or Dem?
Or will you sit this out? and cast your fate to the wind?
Not according to this fellow:
So you wish to put women who have abortions in the future in prison. That is a standard to which few would rally.
Sure. Yeah. OK...and I'm the tooth fairy.
Gee, I hope you are not advocating violence to stop abortion. That would solidify it in society for years.
OK, I’m a bit suspicious these days!
Welcome to Free Republic!
Well, if your husband botches your murder and we all find you in a state where you can’t speak for yourself, you may be glad for some intervention... at that future time. Let’s hope your husband never opts to murder you (or perhaps he should succeed if he tries... LOL!)....

...and would you like to explain why this, is a "must pass issue" in a presidential race?.
Me thinks that this nation has more pressing issues to be observed, than a life/death/life issue witch should be resolved on the state judicial level.
I heard that as well. All of them are pulling on the roooty er pulling for roooty.Disgusting imo
exactly. He should have sent the state police, or called out the national guard if necessary.
