CONSERVATIVES:
EATING THEIR OWN

This ought not be. Guess what? I've bought goods and services from liberals who support abortion on demand. Does that make me less of a conservative?

Some of these rightwing PC ninnies need to figure out what's really important and stop with the peripheral stuff.

And to think--I was considering subscribing to Human Events. :(

You are ignoring the facts clearly enunciated in the column:

Frist is all over the map when it comes to abortion. He says he wants it legal, he says he's pro-life.

Moreover, he profits from it, making monthly dividends that are probably bigger than my annual salary.

So what's his real position? Does he have one? Doesn't this flip-flopping remind you of someone--Clinton maybe? Do we want another jellyfish as SML?

You have to remember that Jeffrey is writing this to try to influence Senators' decisions. Frist is not up for re-election. This is a clear case where Republicans should fight each other--they're fighting for an internal leadership position.

If Frist becomes majority leader, then mark my words--you will long for the days of Bob Dole.

We've listened to two solid weeks of passionate and over the top rhetoric about Trent Lott and how conservatives and Republicans are segregationists and racists.

Then you come on here and say that its just fine for the next Senate Majority Leader, a fairly conservative Republican, to be profiting from abortions on demand. You really consider that issue to be "peripheral stuff"? You really want to stand by that remark?

Did you have a choice?

"Some of these rightwing PC ninnies need to figure out what's really important and stop with the peripheral stuff."

What's really important? The govm'ts primary reason to exist is to protect rights. The right to life is fundamental. Well if these churlin' don't have a right to life, because their mommies and the rest of their families don't want them and the politicians are primarily interested in satisfiying the big mouths, then you can expect the same crass treatment to be given to all the other responsible citizens. Their too busy making a living in honest enterprise and don't have the inclination, or the power to coerce the resources needed to pull off these large cons.

The man wants to take and spend other peoples money for bike paths and other crap and at the same time he doesn't raise a stink about kids being killed in a business he carries policy weight in? He's after number one, the interests of Mr. Frist. The doesn't care about anyone elses rights unless he senses it will effect his position.
