Torture: The New Abortion
An Op-Ed by Rosa Brooks in today’s L.A. Times suggests that the litmus test for nominees used to be the abortion issue, but now is torture.
Why can’t we just call this a compromise? The Democrats can have their abortions as long as we get to torture terrorists. I think that’s a pretty fair trade.
Brooks sarcastically asserts that the reason Rudy Giuliani is the current GOP favorite is because of his endorsement of torture, in spite of his pro-choice/pro-gay marriage positions.
She’s exactly right about that. Republicans are willing to do whatever it takes to win the war on terror and Democrats are not.
I hope the new litmus test for nominees is torture, because I could never support any candidate that doesn’t have the guts to do what’s necessary to defeat our enemies.
You can’t fight a wolf if you’re gonna act like a sheep. The Democrats have shown that they’re a bunch of sheep and shouldn’t be trusted to defend this country under any circumstances.
Joe Lieberman was the only Democrat left with any balls and they kicked him out of the party.

Why is Gay Marriage such a big issue? Check out our trailer on Gay Marriage. Maybe it will shed some light on the situation. Produced to educate & defuse the controversy it has a way of opening closed minds & creates an interesting spin: http://www.OUTTAKEonline.com
I used to be in favor of keeping marriage between a man and a woman, but I’ve since realized that in the scheme of things it doesn’t matter. Since 9/11 the vast majority of Republicans have had a major change in priorities. Trying to keep gays from getting married is a silly issue and an enormous waste of time.
Republicans need to get over the whole gay issue and focus on terrorism. Gay people are not going anywhere so it’s time to get over it. I don’t believe Gay Marriage will be an issue at all this time around. All the polling suggests that it doesn’t even appear on the top 20 most important issues. The 2 issues that will be front and center are illegal immigration, and the war on terror.
