Parental Con

Thursday May 19th, 2005. This is show # 99.

BEST QUOTE OF THE SHOW:
Technicalities don't undo the fact that you're giving your approval for the slaughter of an innocent child. And Priscilla Owen has been dragged through the blood of unborn children by our Christian leaders who've lost sight of the prize. They're confused. I'm not saying don't vote Republican. I'm saying our Christian leaders need to reasess their political strategy because it has backfired.

Of course, it would be better to just admit that you want to overturn Roe vs. Wade, and less error prone, BUT...what do these semantics matter so long as the Republicans are allowing the democrats to filibuster the nominees anyway? Even if Bush had made the nominees swear an oath that they'd overturn RvW (and who knows for sure that he didn't!), the democrats would still be filibustering.

Christians have been using this strategy for 25 years.

Reagan and Bush Sr. weren't concerned with the courts the way Bush II is.
It's the Christians who were concerned with the courts.

We're wasting our time fighting against the filibuster because, even if we win, it's only going to result in more pro-abortion judges on the bench.

Exactly, Jefferson. Christians take the bait when RePubs say they're pro-life. Then the Reps turn around and do whatever they want. It has to start with us and what we do.
