We need to hold on to Dem principles, but we also need to take back out...
identity.

Rush, Hannity, and most of the media has labeled Democrats as pro-abortion, gay loving, hippies that hate Christmas, God, Jesus, America, and fighting terrorism. We can cry and sream about Democratic values all we want, but if we don't defend ourselves from these bogus attacks we will continuouly be thought of as outrageous liberals.

I think it's time to stop running away from Clinton, and start using him and his Presidency to fight back.

On Christmas I was told by my mother that I will be going to a party where I will meet this right-wing guilt ridden wacko. My Mom said she used to be Miss Ohio. I guess at some time in the eighties she was a big slut who used abortion for birth control. I guess now she travels around to these right-wing churches telling her story of when she had these abortions. I hope she confronts me or my wife about it.

I am going to say "Well, you should have really loved Bill Clinton then. When he was in office the number of abortions fell to a twenty five year low. Since Bush has been in office, abortions have steadily been on the rise." I can't wait to see her reaction to this.

See, I think the Republican wackos are people full of guilt. They just say these things to feel better about the way they think. Kinda like "support the troops". They know that this war is a disaster, but they don't want to believe that America and Bush are doing anything wrong. They don't want to believe that Clinton was one of the greatest President's of all time.

What do you think?

2. the percentage of people who use abortion for birth control
is extremely low, just becuz "Miss Ohio" did doesn't mean that everyone who has an abortion does. That may be her story, but she can't and shouldn't speak for others. This is what that rw church wants people to think though that people get abortion on demand as a form of birth control.

Are you a minor? otherwise why would you have to go to this thing?
