Legitimate Rape and Abortion- Republicans back-pedal

[Woodruff]

In other words, you want to have your cake and eat it too. I guess the abortion issue isn't actually as important to you as you claim.

Nope, I want the government to not provide things it can't afford and it isn't Constitutionally authorized to do.

You mean like foreign aid to Israel? I don't recall you saying that should be eliminated.

It is the federal government's roll to establish relationships with other nations. If you don't like an agreement with another nation, vote people into office who will change or remove those agreements.

Oh please, quit the histrionics. Akin has his fair share of defenders, even on this site.

Taking up arms against his critics ain't exactly a good way to indicate that you don't believe in his nonsense.

by "defenders" do you mean people who agree with his rape comments? cuz i haven't seen anyone defend those.

all i see is republicans saying "wtf we don't believe that" and democrats saying "YES YOU DO, you're all equally stupid"

Funny how your argument changes when it's something you like. You're no more a Constitutionalist than Phatscotty is a Libertarian. Foreign aid is unConstitutional and is not something that we can afford.

Then you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.

What part of the constitution does it violate?

Foreign aid is unConstitutional and is not something that we can afford.

If you're against foreign aid, why the focus on Israel?

[GabonX]

And why would anyone take this thread seriously?

Abortion rates drop thanks to free birth control. Isn't that what religious folks want?:

As long as the money is provided by private donations and not public dollars/mandates.

Because, yes you may not have a vote, and taxdollars are needed for an unfunded war you do not support, but good grief, lets not do anything that might actually be good for society. as long as i am not inflicted with it, i dont want to pay for it....

Support for government spending on A comes with government spending on B, C, and D. That's how it works. We have plenty of well-intended voters going for the goodie-two shoe feeling of welfare entitlements, but they forget the whole package deal of political promises and forget about logrolling (political vote swapping).

Most voters that support government spending for whatever simply don't understand how politics works.

Why do you think Sym chose to insert some Akin commentary in this thread?

What could his motives be?

A better question is...Where in the Constitution is it authorized?

Because I'm aware of Night Strike's position regarding Israel.

Becuase these people have a lot of power in our country right now.

Your question makes no sense. The Constitution authorizes...if something is not authorized by the Constitution, then that is precisely how it violates the Constitution. You yourself have used this very statement in these fora. So....where in the Constitution is foreign aid authorized?
