It would be great to have a conservative political party that attempted to do what it was elected to do. It’s just not going to happen. The politicians won’t allow new parties to access the ballot let alone flourish. An example you’re familiar with is the LP. It’s been around since 1971 and they’r e still on the never ending hamster wheel of ballot access. There will always be insurmountable roadblocks thrown in their way. Because that’s what politicians do when they want to stay in power.

The dilemmas this country faces are primarily spiritual and cultural. Politics is a suckers game. And like any other suckers game the only way to win is not to play.

I see the newly minted rat Senator from Alabama, evil Mr Jones, voted with the Satanist.

Not surprised at all. And if it weren’t them some other Designated Mavericks would take their places.

The gop has been in power several times since 1973. They have had countless opportunities to meaningfully restrict or end infanticide. They haven’t done so. We’re coming up on 45 years since Roe vs Children. That’s long enough to judge a strategy.

Politics is a suckers game.

When did the filibuster happen? I didnt see a filibuster.

Besides, I think our tax dollars would be much much much more effective if we offered anybody ten kilobucks to voluntarily get snipped. Many problems solved

Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted THUMBS UP to killing babies.

RNC, keep that in mind next time you send me some crap in my mailbox asking for money...or have some boiler room phone operator dialing my cell or house phone.

If the LIFE of the UNBORN really mattered to the Church in New England, they would have done away with at least one of their 12 Pro-abort Senators

All 12 are 100% NARAL ProAbort
Zero prolife

There will always be another delay, another excuse, another reason why we get thisclose to seeing some meaningful results. But never do.

This year will be 45 years since Roe vs Children. If the politicians ever had any intent of ending this, they would have already done so. We’re being scammed. Politics is a suckers game.

“Drop dead”

Soon enough. In the mean time I’ll continue to call out politics as the scam that it is.

What’s telling about this issue is the necessity of euphemisms like “pro-choice” to sanitize an horrific procedure. It’s the object of that particular “choice” that abortion advocates avoid discussing.

The dims are complicit in the killing of innocent babies. Just as bad as Herod.

I think folks think the libertarians have a few good ideas but they’re weird. There is incentives for disgruntled conservatives to stop worrying about Rhinos and whether or not they support a conservative agenda. i think of abortion and illegal,immigartion for two issues.

Collins and Murkowski joined the filibuster.

They are women whose allegiance to their own sexual identity compel them to accept that women’s “rights” trump any rights that an unborn child might have.
