A person that I work with came up to me with a "gotcha" question...would I be so excited over Sarah Palin if she were a Democrat. I said "Yes." An outspoken pro-life Democrat with a Downs child who had cut earmarks the way she did, yes I would.
The counter was that, of course, many Democrats are pro-life...you just never hear of them.
Well, yeah, that's the problem. The whole party stands for "a woman's choice." The ones that are pro-life are silent. And why would they vote Democratic, anyway, if they're prolife? We kill over a million babies every year...every single year...and the Democratic party supports that!
The counter was that, of course, incest babies should be aborted. Absolutely.
So, what about the rest of them. Seriously, incest accounts for maybe 1%. of a MILLION or more every year. What about all the rest of them.
I think the reaction was close to...
. Certainly, I got the glare. The final counter..."Well, I don't care about that. I care about me, and how I'm going to manage. Humph."
To be fair, the person speaking is probably over retirement age, and still working. I still found that reply so telling. For the extra $5 a month in the SS check, nothing else really matters.
No wonder so many can't understand why "repigs" vote "against their best interests."
(Oh, and no cops, no bushes, no conversions. Sorry.
)
