Reply #109: This is hilarious!

That has got to be one of the funniest posts I have ever read! Honestly, the guy stands up and takes the heat on voting no on the partial birth abortion ban and the Lacy's law thing and people still down him. I guess there is no one on the face of the earth that is liberally pure enough for some people. Who on earth passes the liberal witch hunt tests?

Kerry wants to discuss how we talk about abortion. We should always be refining how we talk about the issues based on reactions we get. That does not mean he is going to change his vote or his position. (He has a 20 year record on this. It has been consistent. That, in the real world is called, ahm, proof.) I think we should think about how we talk about abortion. I have helped drive women to abortion clinics, helped pay for the procedure, helped care for the women afterward and will continue to do so. (Of course, in the naysayer world of absolute purity, that probably counts as tepid, sell-out support. So be it.) I had a miscarraige once (medical term: spontaneous abortion.) I certainly wouldn't want to see a day when women who have miscarriages are investigated for hidden coathangers or questioned by the abortion police to see if they 'did something' to induce an abortion. (Happened to my Mom in the fifties.) But, then again, I am believing what I want to believe and probably not pure enough on the issue, right? Sigh!

Honestly, there is a point where the famed circular Democratic firing squad devolves into parody. We fire at the ones who have carried the water for the Dems for years because they made a comment. We j'accuse each other over issues we agree on. (Seriously, we agree on this, so does Kerry and it's in wrting and on paper and stored on dozens of web sites that track votes.) Liberal witch hunts are seriously deranged, seriously funny and will probably stop in January when Congress comes back and the real Rethug enemy shows up. But really, what does this accomplish? (Outside of being amusing as hell.)
