For the sake of Tower I am not detracting from the sliminess of the R party, they seemingly are far worse in every aspect than the just sleazy D's.

you REALLY must curb this crazy impulse you have to change the focus of the topic at hand. Repeat after me: pro-lifers are aligned with REPUBLICANS!

We were talking about paying people to protest and other such things. Thus, I spun it nowhere. Nice try though

BTW - if the D's start to lose big on this issue, let's just see how fast they adandon their support. History demonstrates the D's cave when they are losing - see Walfare Reform Act

the precise focus was REPUBLICANS paying pro-lifers to protest and YOU said the Dems did it too, which was off point(AND unnecessary!). Now, Im sure you have your reasons for your comments about the evil Dems, but wouldnt it make more sense to start a new thread with the PROOF? just a thot.

as for your second point: If the Dems DO abandon abortion rights, I will abandon THEM. They will NEVER regain their former glory if they cast off one by one the historical planks of their platform. Those very aspects of personal rights and concern for the marginalized members of society are what differentiated them from the Republican Juggernaut. The rabid Fundamentalists are ruining this country with their single minded quest to restrict EVERYONE but rich white males. (as it was in the beginning, it is now and ever shall be.........) what passes for religion nowadays makes me want to GAG. with a spoon.
