After a good night's sleep I'm much less cranky about the event and to be fair it wasn't completely devoid of substance. Besides finding out that every one of the candidates is a complete maniac when it comes to Iran, we also found out that every one of them, outside of Rudy, vehemently stated Roe v. Wade should be overturned.
Whether Rudy's "nuanced" stance helps or hurts him remains to be seen but on a related note, Bush announced yet another veto threat on federal funds for abortions.
In a two-page letter sent to the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, Mr. Bush said his veto threat would apply to any measures that “allow taxpayer dollars to be used for the destruction of human life.”So does this mean he vetoed the military funding bill because of the thousands of dead US troops and the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi citizens? Will he now be promoting the end of the death penalty he found so amusing as governor of Texas? Will he now commit to fully funding so-called entitlement programs that save the lives of children who live in poverty? Maybe he'll end the use of no-knock warrants in drug cases that have taken hundreds of innocent victims. Nah...
You have to love the unmitigated hypocrisy of these "culture of lifers" whose concern for the living stops at birth and then leapfrogs to preserving the life of the brain dead like Terri Schiavo only.
