2. absolutely agree. Anti-Choice until birth. I don't know that I'd call it love though.
It's more of a power issue for them. They want to control women and their wombs.

3. Republicans love you as long as they can suck money out of you.
Republicans are parasites.

4. That is not true of republicans.
Edited on Wed Mar-07-07 12:11 AM by Elwood P Dowd
They love you until you are born, go off to a war for corporate profits, and then get killed or wounded. That's when they tell you or your family to eat shit and die.

5. Disagree. It has nothing to do with 'love.'

11. You're exactly right!
They only care that you are born. Love has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

6. Disagree: Bushveiks only love Der Fuehrer and The Not-See Party
Der Fuehrer and the Not-See Party love money and power and lording it over the peasants, moving them like chess pieces that bleed, and whom everyone with BREEDING knows are little better than animals anyway.

I'd put the sarcasm tag, but I wasn't exactly being sarcastic.

I was channeling the monstrous, evil, and possibly murderous (who ordered some of the killings, I wonder, is Babs Livia to Pooppy Augustus?) Babs Bush in that last half-sentence.

10. Republicans only love the almighty dollar
They don't send us off to war for control and empire so much as they do for gains in the oil market. That's why there was no plan for any of this, we just wanted to take control of the oil wells and give that control to our corporate political "donors" as well as use it as a negotiating tool with the rich Saudi allies who also pump cash into the GOP coffers.

It reminds me of the scene in Aliens when Ripley confronts Burke. "You know I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a percentage".

12. Her opposition to abortion is based on control
Not on respect for life.

By the way, I'm pro-choice and pro-life. It's perfectly possible to be both even if they think otherwise.

15. they only tolerate until you are no longer useful to them
it applies to everything. it's why they love money so much -- it's one of the few things that is regularly useful directly just for them. when another currency is higher and is difficult for them to get note their displeasure. they don't like it because suddenly money is helping another person that isn't them. it's still money, but suddenly it isn't all about them and their selfishness. it becomes an "enemy," hence their sudden competitiveness and fear against said currency. also note how those who have easy access to said currency end up disagreeing and find absolutely nothing wrong (because their selfishness is still being served).

you are only as useful as long as you serve them. after that you do not matter. in fact, if you are too useful, you become "the enemy."

16. All Pro-Liars Are The Same, No Matter What They Call Themselves
I don't care what an antiabortnoid calls itself - it doesn't matter; bottom line is that they are all alike: they hate facts, they hate women and they don't give a shit about children that aren't their own.

17. Republicans Are Negligent Proxy Parents
Republicans are negligent proxy parents. They oppose abortion, yet they constantly vote to cut funding for clinics and health progams that would support infants' and mothers' health and nutrition while in the womb and afterwards.

Yet they STILL call themselves "Pro-Life" :argh:

18. Once you're born all you are is a burden
It amazes me how they want to take away everyone's ability to NOT conceive a child - they want to ban abortion, they don't want sex education - yet once that precious little baby is born all they do is piss and moan about how much it costs. That darling little bundle of joy instantly becomes a problem when the mother can't afford health insurance and has to go to the emergency room which drives up health cares costs for everyone.

Do they think because they give pretty speeches and walk around shaking hands and wagging their fingers people will just stop giving in to one of humanity's most base instincts?
