Richard Nixon actually ran on a platform of stopping the Viet Nam war in 1968. I cast my first presidential vote for him because of that stance. In 1972, it was clear that he lied to get votes and I voted against him. What's the difference between that and Republicans holding out the promise of stopping abortion and then doing almost nothing to achieve that? I wasn't hoodwinked to vote for Nixon the second time because I thought he would end the war. The Christian Right has been hoodwinked into thinking that Republicans would end legal abortion.
Hi OR, I'm not sure what line of reason you are following. I was supplementing your indignation against abortion by showing that there is a definite possibility that euthanasia (death with dignity so-called) will become our national policy if HR3200 passes (either as it is, modified or broken into majority vote only pieces) because it seems to be following a similar path to the legalization of the murder of the innocent in the womb.If you are under 65 then an affluent family could provide care. Over 65 and eligible for Mediscare and I am not sure. A doctor who accepts Mediscare cannot accept payment above what Mediscare provides or he will wind up in prison. I believe that is correct.
I realize this is off topic!

As I said above, I am almost sorry I made that post about the Republicans yesterday, not because of the words I used, but because those who support abortion use it to make their agenda of murder look better by comparing themselves to the mistakes of the Republcians. I do not want to be any part of making these people think that this evil is anything but evil. You may have a point in that the best way to stop the slaughter is to work to change the Republicans back to their roots. I am too idealistic in the way I look at things sometimes."whoever", you have huuummmed that same mantra for months. First as BaptistBeliever until they took that name away from you; then as Just Christian until you got banned; then as Freedom until you got banned again; now as "whoever" or is it alatide. You need to change the tune a little each time. Instead of huuummme you might go: "God have mercy I have supported the slaughter of the unborn by voting democrat for ?? years and still do." That will do you more good than mouthing that Buddhist mantra you "huuummme".
Ok - lets say for the sake of arguement that hypocritical Republican administations played the Christian Right for fools.
What's your excuse?
You voted for the abortionist loving extremist Obama straight up with eyes open. You don't even have the fig leaf of being duped. You wanted what you got and you got what you wanted - more abortions - more funding for abortions - and even more abortions to come.
You should be very pleased at what you have helped to accomplish.
Vietnam was an abject failure and a huge mistake. Even Robert McNamara conceded such. The hippies were right, Johnson and Nixon were wrong.
I wasn't duped. I knew that neither party would do anything about abortion.
Or Ike? Because the massive build up was LBJ's baby. Yes, Ike & JFK started it, but it was a blip on the radar.Why leave JFK out ?
Tim, with all due respect, you don't even know what a hippie is. :laugh: Where was this hippie cadre that "infiltrated the schools"?
Does it matter whether the unborn child is murdered during a Republican administration or a Democratic administration? Abortion is abortion. The Republicans have lied to you and don't plan on changing the law. Why should they? This is a great campaign issue for them.

Actually I am over 65 and I am on medicare (which I have paid into all my life to date) parts A and B. I also have something called a Medigap Policy from Mutual of Omaha which is regulated by the government.
Medigap does just that, it covers whatever Medicare does not.
Together my premiums are $220/Month. I have never paid a cent out-of-pocket.
Being a veteran, I am also eligible for healthcare via the VA.
But back to the track of abortion: I made a statement to everyone a while back: Don't say euthanasia can't happen (actually it already is happening in two States).
When I was a young man if anyone would have told me that one day the Supreme Court of America would put their stamp of approval on abortion, I would have reacted with outrage that anyone could possibly imagine that the Supreme Court of America was capable of such a thing.
Look, if the most helpless and defenseless are trashed for convenience sake and the government says it's OK, is anyone else safe?

Do you agree that in Vietro Fertilization which is a form of abortion should be made illegal? If life is precious, which I believe it is, how can anyone support capital punishment or any but the most necessary wars? I believe the last one of these was WW2.
Ward Churchill is not a hippie. He is an idiot. You are off topic.That long haired guy that got fired from the University of Colorado for plagiarism is typical of the majority of college professors today. He was just dumb enough to get caught.
Most colleges or universities, north, south, east, or west are hotbeds of radical leftists. All you need do to prove this is to note how conservative speakers are treated compared to America haters like the president of Iran at Columbia University.

You repeat yourself, MP!:laugh:
Not so.
Obama did do something about abortion - just as he promised.
He increased it.
His first act in office was to fund over seas abortions.
No, I don't believe that you were duped. You got what you wanted and you wanted what you got.
What we got was even more slaughter of the unborn.
That is your victory.
Embrace it.
Own it.
Revel in it.[/QUOTE
Well said targus!:thumbsup:
