Say Planned Parenthood decided to stop providing abortion and just provided the other services in order to keep public funding. Would that make you happy?
The logic is solid. The point is, it is really tough to say what one would or would not do before having to actually make the decision. And as I said before, maybe McCain had to say what he said due to the fragile nature of the relationship with Pakistan. While they have not been a Great Britian in terms of support in the War on Terror, they have helped a little. See arrest of KSM. They have also not helped. See killing on OBL.
"As President, I will close Guantanamo, reject the Military Commissions Act and adhere to the Geneva Conventions. Our Constitution and our Uniform Code of Military Justice provide a framework for dealing with the terrorists." - Sen. Obama - Aug. 2, 2007
"This is me following through on not just a commitment I made during the campaign, but I think an understanding that dates back to our founding fathers, that we are willing to observe core standards of conduct, not just when it's easy, but also when it's hard." - President Obama, at the signing of an executive order to close Gitmo within one year, Jan. 22, 2009
Last I checks, Gitmo was still open. KSM was being tried by a military tribunal.
Do we know if McCain would have stood by his statement? Or was he making a statement to appease a crappy ally in a crappy part of the world.
No the tickets will stop. What trooper is going to want to get out of a cool air conditioned car, so they can write a ticket wearing sleeves and ties in the heat.
John, I had you a teacher about 10 years ago. You erased any doubt in my mind that the communist party was alive and well in the valley. So long REDSO.
Biden snubs are getting old
Dave,
Don't take that crap from them. I like how you stood your ground.

bin Ladin was killed while Obama was president, not because he was president.

My suggestion to Jihad, buy a gun and get training on how to use it.

How will Dem chairman top Chamber chief?
Paul,
And the Democrats aren't voting in lock step with their leadership?
And last I checked, we were in a Republic, not a Democracy.
