It wasn't that bad. DFC just called Zo an "Uncle Tom." Worse than that has been said.

So if murdering a baby inside the womb is ok, than shooting the parents is ok too… I mean, what's the difference except for the fact that the baby harmed no one and it's just dandy to suck it's brains out, collapse its skull and flush it's still beating heart down the toilet, the parents on the other hand planned murder in the name of a "right" that doesn't exist.

"Just because it's your body do you have the right to murder a child inside of it? "

Yes. Not a pretty scenario, but I think women do.

"Before you retaliate with the obligatory "It's my body…" screed may I remind you and everyone reading that less than 2% of all abortions have anything at all to do with rape, incest, or the life of the mother. >98.5%of all abortions are murder in the name of birth control."

It's over-used. But that doesn't make it any less of a right.

Government has been intruding into our personal lives and our bodies for centuries. If it's your body do you have the right to kill other people with it? the right to steal things with it? The right to sell the children your body produces into slavery? Do you have the right to sell (well… rent out) your body on the street? of course not.

Just because it's your body do you have the right to murder a child inside of it? Before you retaliate with the obligatory "It's my body…" screed may I remind you and everyone reading that less than 2% of all abortions have anything at all to do with rape, incest, or the life of the mother. >98.5%of all abortions are murder in the name of birth control.

I've actually had people tell me that they didn't have a choice "Then charge them with rape" was my answer. Their retort was "Not THAT, you know… sometimes you just gotta… ya know?" and of course my answer is "Why is someone who can't control themselves in be bedroom expected to be smart enough to walk into a voting booth with a clue?"

I usually get hit at that point, but hey, you know? Sometimes you just gotta call it like you see it.

See my reply above. It's not enough to say what you stand for. They don't care. They go ahead and do what they want anyway. Yes, there are some politicians who are principled and stand for what they say,. But too many in both parties have taken us to this point. It is simple realism to be aware of that fact. Being an independent is a way of saying to them: "You need us to win. You better not take us for granted."

Too often the pols take their party people for granted. They tell them what they want to hear, then do something else. That simply can't be allowed anymore.

Zo and yourself may be principled, but so am I. I am not going to make them feel they automatically have my vote because I registered with their party, They are going to have to work for it.

That's fine except Republican voters gave us decades of Arlen Specter and people like Olympia Snowe. People like John McCain and Bob Dole as presidential candidates. Governors like Arnold Schwarzenegger instead of Tom McClintock. The voters have not voted in real conservatives, nor have they held RINOs feet to the fire,. I'm glad they're starting to, but talk is cheap.

All parties know they need independents to win. They take the faithful for granted pretty much. That is the problem with being too allied with a party. These guys need to learn the hard way who put them there and who can send them home.

Don't do it! Join a respectable organization, like ACORN. The republican party is a disgrace, a shodow of the proud Americans of the past. Today, it's political "who ors" like Snow and Spectre and many others, who care more about themselves then the country.
Join the Conservative party. No republican has every won without the conservatives. Kick the rinos to the curb, it's now or never!

I agree with the whole video up until the "womb to the tomb part". That seems like government regulation to me. If life is valuable, he's saying the government can step in and make abortion illegal. That's a valid opinion to have. But to me, saying that "life is valuable", and saying the government can legislate to make that so, also means that the libs can step in and start regulating what we eat or otherwise consume.

For example, smoking. Liberals love to put restrictions on that. And if Obamacare goes through, we will be TOLD what we are allowed to eat and drink, because our unhealthy lifestyles might put a strain on the resources of the taxpayer. They will say "life is too valuable to be eating potato chips." Hell there's a story on BG today that says the FDA is going to make beer/energy drink hybrids (whatever those are) illegal if they aren't "safe" enough.

I understand that people are against abortion. I just don't agree that government intervention into someone's body is ever a good idea, because you never know when the thing you fought for, might work against you someday.

"What Conservatives Are For", in my opinion, is absolute minimum of government intrusion into our personal lives, and our bodies.
