He said he was really surprised at how strongly the pro-choice people in the party reacted this year. Apparently others were as well.

They were not aware?

ON Edit: I only changed the subject line. The message is still the same.

1. You totally missed his point. He was saying that he was

shocked that it was made an issue. He said that he didn't think we should give up the pro-choice stance.

HE SAID HE THOUGHT THE WAR WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER ISSUE.

He's right.

He was basically saying that the Pro-Choice issue is a non issue cuz we are all or should be pro-choice.

5. I caught that part, too. We are saying the same thing.
You are right about what he said. But I also got that he was surprised at how many reacted so strongly about it. They mentioned Kate Michelman's thoughts about running.

He did agree the war should have been a bigger issue, and so do I. But he was pro-war about Iraq, and still is.

I like him a lot, so don't think I am misinterpreting. I think that the Roemer deal brought out a lot of strong feelings

I was not being critical of Rosenberg.

6. That is the way I heard it also. He was in no way derogatory of the
pro-choice position.

3. The election didn't go our way because of the WAR and security
not about Choice.

Choice and Values is a MSM propaganda tool.

4. The election did not go our way
because the liberal POV is not represented.

In fact - all I hear from the MSM about democrats is that we don't have a message, we don't have values and we don't know what we're doing.

It doesn't surprise me if people are surprised to find out that democrats actually do have opinions about things.

7. You didn't get it. Why should we argue about a core issue like pro-choice
That is what he's saying. WE are pro-choice and it isn't going to change.

War however isn't a core issue and we have some very different opinions on the war on Iraq in the party. So that should have been an issue.

I'm a woman that ain't gonna change so why argue about it.
That is what he's saying.

15. Trouble is he still agrees strongly with the war in Iraq.
The party did take his stance during the campaign...Kerry did, Hillary does. We took the stance that Iraq was a good thing...and I think Simon was right that it should have been a bigger issue...but the other way.

It should have been something we stood up strongly against...not for.
