Comments on: The Week That Was And What a Week It Was http://themoderatevoice.com/12312/the-week-that-was-and-what-a-week-it-was/ An Internet hub for moderates, centrists, and independents, with domestic and international news, analysis, original reporting, and popular features from the left, center, and right Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:32:44 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: GovJeff http://themoderatevoice.com/12312/the-week-that-was-and-what-a-week-it-was/comment-page-1/#comment-76134 GovJeff Sun, 22 Apr 2007 15:16:15 +0000 http://themoderatevoice.com/politics/congress/12312/the-week-that-was-and-what-a-week-it-was/#comment-76134 <blockquote>And then the partial-birth abortion ruling by a Supreme Court majority that blathered about the sanctity of life at a time when the man in the Oval Office has been so utterly unconcerned about the lives of American soldiers, Iraqi civilians and hurricane survivors, among many others.</blockquote> How hypocritical. And I don't mean the seeming disparity between the Supreme Court and Executive. I mean the writer's characterization of the partial birth abortion ban and Iraq as inconsistent with each other - while at the same time poking at each one - which is an inconsistent position from one man, not two branches of government. So, Mullen, you're all for partial birth abortions but don't want the war? I agree, babies are much easier to kill. Perhaps you'd like to look at the numbers of dead vs. the number of U.S. abortions? At least you had the ability to admit abortion is killing just as war means killing. Or was that an intellectual oversight? Why do I feel like I stumbled into DailyKos every time I read a 'moderate' post from Mullen?

And then the partial-birth abortion ruling by a Supreme Court majority that blathered about the sanctity of life at a time when the man in the Oval Office has been so utterly unconcerned about the lives of American soldiers, Iraqi civilians and hurricane survivors, among many others.

How hypocritical. And I don’t mean the seeming disparity between the Supreme Court and Executive. I mean the writer’s characterization of the partial birth abortion ban and Iraq as inconsistent with each other – while at the same time poking at each one – which is an inconsistent position from one man, not two branches of government.

So, Mullen, you’re all for partial birth abortions but don’t want the war? I agree, babies are much easier to kill. Perhaps you’d like to look at the numbers of dead vs. the number of U.S. abortions?

But it is not being hyperbolic to say that we can look back on Thursday, April 19, 2007, as the day the wheels finally came completely off the Bush administration’s wagon.

I thought that the wheels came off a short time after August 29, 2005.

I guess the choice was between vilified liar and admitted moron, and he chose the latter. But what of Justice? The lady should be glad today she's wearing her blindfold, because the sight of our President offering undiluted praise and support after a performance like that would be heartbreaking for anyone who believes in the truth, or in equality under the laws of our land. This guy should operate a used car lot in Paraguay- not represent our most vital American asset. Of course like everything else, it has been politicized- but the issue really is not a liberal or conservative one, but one of integrity and faith in our justice system. If we lose that what makes us any better than a banana republic??? Yes, Shaun – Gonzales did not disappoint, but lived up to his totally clueless reputation.
