Re: Are all black men brainwashed?
Of course I know that she doesn't speak for the entire party, but this conversation started out why minorities and women don't vote for the party more. The fact is, the party didn't denounce what the pro lifer at Susan G. Komen did. Pro lifers/Conservatives didn't say "we don't want to shut down PP, we just don't want money funding abortion." It's like they don't even try to appeal to women or the middle, just their base.
If they actually did say it like that, that would have been a moderate position and something could have been reconciled to make sure abortion wasn't funded with taxpayer dollars and women in need of healthcare, were not going to find themselves with no access to it.
The party doesn't come off as moderate or even seem to bat an eyelid at the concerns of women and health needs. Cpwill thinks is a joke, "special needs" or something like that.
The ProLifer who did that doesn't represent the Republican Party, Congress or you or me. And neither does the Susan Komen Foundation.
SheWolf, I can see you're very passionate about this, and I don't think I'm going to change your mind. In this case, on this topic, I'm just going to agree that we disagree.
