abortion:
This is the one issue that probably cost the Republicans the election. Palin was the women’s hero until she opened her mouth about abortion. Most of the women in this country feel that they the right to say what happens to their bodies, not anyone else. Their hero Clinton was defeated and they were leaderless. They went to the only person who seemed willing to guarantee their rights. This election wasn’t decided by the Democrats or the Republicans. It was decided by the women in the middle many of whom are independents.
If the Republican party had played their cards right, McCain would be in the White House now not Obama. They blew it. Every time abortion is going to be brought up and the Republicans stand against it, they will lose. Its time that the party permanently table this discussion and focus on the more important issues ie. the economy, foreign policy. Women were given the right to vote, the right to choose. Leave it alone.
You are absolutely right about secession. Tearing this country apart over a one term President is not the answer. We are all feeling this pent up frustration, it doesn’t have to turn to rage. Channel your energies toward the next election and start taking back our government. Obama is already tripping because of his appointments. Nobody wants to be his Sec. of Treasury, that’s unheard of. That used to be the easiest plum position one could have. The Freeman fiasco disclosed his real politics. Afganistan is becoming Obama’s Iraq. Our position there becomes less tenable every day. All our enemies are conspiring to make us withdraw from there with our collective tails between our legs.
Its just a matter of time. Our only worry is how much damage can this administration inflict on this nation in the mean time. Is the damage going to be too great for us to fix? Will the Obama administration leave this nation too weak to defend itself? Can our economy make a recovery?
