Roe vs Wade keeps people safe. Getting rid of it means more back alley abortions and more deaths from unsterile enviorments. <BR/><BR/>Romney would be a horrible choice as far as putting Judges in. They would all be former priest and I would move to Canada. <BR/><BR/>Roe vs Wade will never be removed cause it's safe to have it and the big issue, its about privacy, not abortion.<BR/><BR/>Oddly enough, most people who want it gone dont even know that and knowing is half the battle!<BR/><BR/>Lovenly Always,<BR/><BR/>JOhn StruckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650982.post-27794177012887697732008-02-05T03:53:31.774Z2008-02-05T03:53:31.774ZMarty,<BR/><BR/>Here's where the Court argument falls apart - BCRA has to go; what are the chances that a President McCain would appoint a justice who would vote to scrap one of his proudest accomplishments? I'm Catholic and getting rid of Roe v. Wade is obviously crucial; it is hardly the only issue involved, however.<BR/><BR/>Judges are a crapshoot, of course - Reagan put O'Connor and Kennedy on the Court and Bush 41 put the odious Souter there. Obviously a President Obama or a President Clinton would put execrable people on the bench, but my sense is that a President McCain would be prone to doing the same thing. Just a guess, but my sense is that a President Romney would be more likely to put more people like Roberts and Alito on the court than a President McCain would.<BR/><BR/>As for your question about not voting for Bush because he signed BCRA - you have half a point. If the choice in the general election is between McCain and Obama or Clinton, I'll vote for McCain. But I don't have to vote for McCain <I>yet.</I> At this point I can vote for someone I like better and I'll continue to exercise that right as long as it's possible to do so. And if I and other like-minded people can cast those votes and convince enough other people that we have a better candidate, maybe I won't have to vote for McCain in the fall.Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650982.post-72200308673912090512008-02-05T03:28:08.741Z2008-02-05T03:28:08.741ZI still think I would love to see Edwards cross over and do a McCain-Edwards ticket. <BR/><BR/>Edwards would make a great VP and now that he pulled out, putting his weight behind VP running might not be a bad idea.<BR/><BR/>Lovenly Always,<BR/><BR/>John StruckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650982.post-87975427535641644952008-02-04T15:08:24.247Z2008-02-04T15:08:24.247ZFrom a completely financial point of view, it seems that moving away from oil is not the worst course of action anyways. Good synopsis of McCain...<BR/><BR/>-AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
