Something you never thought you'd see: Democrats recruiting pro-lifers!
Well, I am disappointed in Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. Speculation abounds that she may run for the Republican nomination for President in 2008. In this vein, she has told the Washington Times that she is "mildly pro-choice." What if I attempted to tell people that I was "mildly racist" or "mildly bigoted." Saying you are "mildly pro-choice" is essentially saying that you are "mildly pro-death." Between the current love affair with Rice and Rudy Guiliani (a man who also got the Mayoral nomination of the New York LIBERAL Party), the GOP is the party that is showing that they aren't learning the lessons of the 2004 elections.The Democrats, however insincere they may be, are getting it! They are looking for pro-life candidates to run in tight races. In several cases, such as Rhode Island, the Dems are running a pro-life candidate against a pro-abortion Republican opponent who is vulnerable in 2006. (What do you want to bet the pro-lifer wins?)
As a Catholic and a Christian, there is no circumstance justifies me to support a pro-abortion candidate, regardless of party, when there is a pro-life alternative, regardless of the pro-life person's position on anything else. If you are pro-life, you will likely get my vote. If you are pro-death you absolutely will not get my vote. There are many other Christians and Catholics who think just as I do on this score, and these people saw to it that George W. Bush was re-elected. If the GOP abandons the pro-life ship, will the Democrats take the survivors? If Rice or Guiliani get the 2008 nomination, could this be the beginning of another paradigm shift in U.S. politics?
