One does wonder how one becomes this nasty and dishonest – Senator Claire McCaskill on This Week:
MCCASKILL: But women of America are going to kick the tires the next 55 days, George, and they’re going to going to find out that this is a ticket that wants to put women in prison for having an abortion after they have been raped.
Sad to say that this poor woman is a fellow Catholic – and clearly a woman who needs our prayers for wisdom and love of neighbor to become more important in her life. Fortunately, she didn’t have the stage all too herself:
FIORINA: Those are ridiculous charges, point one. But I think the important point here is that this is what the Democratic Party has done for years. It has tried to hold women hostage by frightening them on issues such as reproductive rights, Rove v. Wade.
American women in this country will not be held hostage by the politics of fear on Roe v. Wade anymore.
Ms. Fiorina did miss one very important point in her riposte: its not just fear tactics, its also the lies. Senator McCaskill lies when she claims that Senator McCain, Governor Palin or, indeed, that the GOP advocates jailing women for having an abortion. Allow me to make one thing completely clear – we of the pro-life movement want the killing of unborn children to stop, for the sake of the children, their mothers and the moral health of the United States of America. We seek no vengeance, we want no one – not even the abortionists – to be punished. We just want it to stop. Murdering innocent, unborn children is not the right thing to do and no one who actually applies reason to the issue can come to any other conclusion than that abortion is wrong.
I think that in later years we’ll think back on this time and realize that the vital thing about the McCain/Palin ticket was the way it forced the left and the Democratic party out into the open – they are no longer able to hide behind a friendly media because that media, itself, has been unhinged by the McCain/Palin ticket, and now MSM and Democratic Party/Political Left are driving together off a cliff as the American people finally get an unmistakable example of just how dishonest and nasty the MSM and Democratic party have become.
