I would argue that :She sounds like a treat. Not relevant to reducing abortion, though.
If the issue is to reduce abortion, then the democrats would seem to have a good plan in place to do so. Provide resources for pregnant women who cannot afford a baby, reduce poverty and increase jobs so these women are empowered to choose life in the first place.
The republicans on the other hand need to turn out the base. Why would they give up their golden promise (which they have not yet come through on)?
perhaps, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, you're seen as a troll because of your posts? I've read several by you that if you didn't clarify to me you hadn't decided I'd swear you were a hard-core McCain supporter and general republican apologist.
And your problem with Barrack is that you are a racist. LOL. Maybe?
saying that they've decided to vote republican .
I would argue that :
2. encouraging family values instead of Hollywood values would reduce sexual promiscuity, thus unwanted pregnancies;
Reagan fiscal policies were successful.
Reagan fiscal policies involve cutting the federal tax on the average family down from 12%, which is incredibly high.
is the Obama supporters
watching the convention last night, became clear I am closer to Obama than McCain on most of the big issues, don't like the higher taxes, but also think it's the only way to reduce the deficit
but the Obama supporters need to chill out, really can't stand the way they pounce on every little news nugget about Palin or McCain, they way they hypocritically go into a rage about troopergate, yet have lame explanations for Whitewater, Biden's Plagiarism, Obama's Rezko connection, and they're so humorless about everything
some of the Mac supporters do the same on their side, but they have a lot more self-control

I am so there with you on that. I hate hero worshippers.

Spot on.

When they're acting like neo-cons? Truly disgusting

I'll credit McCain for being a stand up guy, as I will Obama.
But some of their self appointed volunteers and supporters are totally over the top.
They have BOTH made it very clear that they do not like this politics by ad hominen attack.
Still, much thanks to the media which simply loves dirty laundry (esecially if it involved sex in any way shape of form) our political process is an embarrassment to every decent American on BOTH sides of the aisle.
I am trying to make the point that reaganomics may have worked in a 1980 climate but that we have a different set of economic variables on the table now.
Reagan fiscal policies involve cutting the federal tax on the average family down from 12%, which is incredibly high.
Federal tax on the average family now is 6%. To keep up with Reagan's policies we have to borrow money from CHina.
there's no more fat to cut from that bone.
I don't agree with that at all, unless there is a major war or something. Economies thrive on stability and fairness. Clinton did well by not messing with Reagan's policies until later in his term. Why should someone who's rich pay a higher percentage then someone who is not?Agree, they were very successful. But so were Clinton's. Different economic policies work at different times. Adding 6.6 points to the top tax rate in 1993 was not damaging like some thought, economy was fine, and the budget was balanced, albeit with some help from Newt Gingrich killing every spending bill he could get his hands on. Had Clinton added 40 points and taken the top tax rate over 70%, might have had serious problems.

No kidding. Conservatives haven't been in control of the GOP since the glory days of Reagan and Newt.And the GOP has gone from trying to kill the Dept of Ed in the 90s under Newt, to expanding it massively in the 00s with No Child Left Behind under W. Party has lost its way on budget issues.
