I’m starting a new category for archiving. Going back to the original reason why I started this blog in the first place, I want an easy place to find what has gone on in the news since I started blogging. I’ve tended to get away from writing about the news because everyone else writes about the same things I would write about. That betrays my original intent though, so I want to attempt to get back to doing it.
The new category is “Republican Betrayals”. When it comes time to go to the polls in 2008, and I’m shouting from the hilltops that a vote for the Republican candidate is a wasted vote, that your voice won’t be heard and your issues ignored, I will have a link that you can click on to bring up all the ways you’ve been stabbed in the back since re-electing Chairman Bush.
Here’s the first one, which I warned about before the election and gave as one of many reasons not to trust Bush or give him your vote. Just as I said, his guy Arlen Specter, who did end up winning reelection to the Senate from Pennsylvania, is warning Bush not to appoint pro-life judges that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Specter is destined to become the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I seriously believe that Bush had that in mind all along. He has been using abortion as a reason to elect him, that he’s pro-life, but has never promised to do anything about it. He said in 2000 that he would not use an abortion “litmus test” in appointing judges. In the lack of real issues in 2004, he never, to my knowledge, had to take a stand on the issue. I believe that he never had any intention to do anything to end abortion and deliberately supported Specter so as to preserve the holocaust that continues to murder millions of the unborn.
The votes haven’t even finished being counted (technically), and the Republicans are telling us not to get our hopes up.
So Christian, stop using this issue as a reason to vote Republican, they have no intention of changing the status quo.
