Well, you're wrong. My top priority is to restore adherence to the principles I discussed above. And politicians like Thompson (and Giuliani and Romney and McCain and Paul and Huckabee) are unmoored from those principles, as signified by their claim that states have any right to decide the abortion question, and alienate the most important unalienable right of all.
By being belligerent on the subject...you are indirectly leading to abortion not being stopped at all.
The HLA will not pass now. It just won’t.
While you “stand by your principles” your principles will get crushed by the world falling down around you.
It’s no different than the crowd that said Thompson’s SS plan wasn’t good enough because he didn’t say he was going to scrap the whole thing on January 21, 2009, all current retirees be damned. Too bad that platform WILL NOT WIN and even if that candidate won, such a plan wouldn’t be passed.
