Bush... Pro-Choice? An interesting hypothetical...
My sister asked me this hypothetical question last night and I found it more difficult to answer than I expected. I'm interested to see how you would answer it:

1) Assume John Kerry ends up being the Democratic nominee.

2) John Kerry is still John Kerry, in every way and on every issue (including the war in Iraq), except he "realizes" abortion is "murder" and promises to do everything as President to outlaw abortion.

3) George Bush is still George Bush, in every way and on every issue (including the war in Iraq), except he "realizes" abortion is a fundamental human right of women and promises to do everything as President to safeguard this right forever.

Who would you vote for and why? Oh, and not voting is NOT an option, and you can't vote third party or write-ins.

2. That's not an answer
C'mon, it's a hypothetical.

3. Bush is already pretty pro-choice
He just plays the good Christian to please the idiot-wing of the 'puke Party.

I would vote for Dennis Kucinich, write-in.

In fact I'm going to vote DK anyway.

Kerry's plan to stop outsourcing is to cripple American manufacturing with more regulations AND he is against tariffs of any kind. Some populist.

6. Seeing as I am not a one issue voter..
...and that I'd rather have a President that would appoint Liberal pro-life justices than conservative pro-choice justices, I'd vote for Kerry.

9. Texass muttering says Bushie has paid for 2 abortions in that state.
Got a friend (yes a repub, but a good'un and who is a texass boy these last few decades) in Austin who 5 years ago was discussing the rumors about Gov. George (who my friend actually thought did a good job, course it is mostly ceremonial)....anyway there were a lot of talk about how Bushies proclivity to think only of 'pussy' and the trouble it caused him (at least 2 abortions my friend says were discussed) would play in the national elections....and then they were seriously surprised that the NatMediaWhores (who they all thought worked for Fu**ingLiberals) did not pick up on the abortions nor the TANG lack of service. And from what I hear, the TANG sheeit goes way deeper than is thought.

There are supposedly medical records showing Bushies was too coked up to pass his physical and freaked when they wanted to take blood. Actually threw a fit at the time I hear...anyway, he refused or played sick and they never completed the physical. So he was grounded. The first paperwork prepared for it, prior to Papa Bush scrubbing the records (did he think to scrub the lab work? probably, he was in the CIA after all), showed that the medical physical was Failed To Pass, reason, intoxication/drug use.....
