to borrow a phrase
Wake up people!
Saw part of Hillary Clinton’s speech last night, accidentally. I wished with all my heart that every person at the YMCA was watching it and could hear me make my little comments from my treadmill. It took all of two minutes for me to find a flaw in her thinking…or at least in what she tells us she thinks.
I suppose she was pushing her plans for standardized health care (God save us!) when she told the story–as dramatically as possible–of a young pregnant woman she heard about. This girl had no insurance and couldn’t afford the hundred bucks the hospital required for her to check in when she had problems at some point in her pregnancy. She went home. When she came back again later, in worse condition (unspecified), same story. Ends up, she loses her baby and they have to lifeflight her to another hospital where they fight for fifteen days to save her life but can’t. Pretty sad story. (And I’d like to know where the non-government agencies were in all this…like the Church.)
Clinton ends her little ditty with, “I think it’s wrong, morally wrong, for that to happen…in the United States! Two lives lost!”
Wait– Okay, I could make all kinds of comments on that one, but let’s stick with this: Two lives?? But–but– she doesn’t believe one of them even was a life!
If I were a young woman who had been sold on the argument that it’s my body and I’m not killing a baby if I have an abortion before my seventh month (or whatever they’re saying now), I would be highly offended by that speech! Excuse me, Hillary, but you can’t go telling me one thing to make me feel okay about my choices and then contradict that stand just to make a point for some other little agenda of yours! Does that mean you lied about the fetus? Or are you only making that…thing…sound like a poor little baby in this story just for a compassion vote? Either way, you’ve chewed me up and spit me out.
As Shelly pointed out, this is no different than the media screaming about Angelina Jolie putting her unborn babies at risk by going into a war-torn region for whatever charity she was backing.
*Through gritted teeth* I thought you told us it wasn’t human yet.
Think any o’ them folks considering voting for her caught it?
…Nah.
Go vote today!
And remember, you may have to live with your choices.
Me, I’m going to the caucus tonight.

For those voting in Texas primaries today—My sister posted this on her site. I think it’s very good.
Why I am voting for Huckabee
PLAYING THE POLITCAL GAME.
Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul line up on these top issues:
Pro-life (They both want to overturn Roe vs. Wade).
Small gov’t (Ron Paul is more outspoken about it).
Fighting terrorists, protecting our borders (they differ a little on their approaches, but are better than McCain).
Personal freedom according to the Constitution.
Okay, so I really like most of what Ron Paul says. He is VERY constitutionally sound.
I like much of what Huckabee says, although he is more liberal in some areas.
I’d rather have Ron Paul for President.
BUT:
I’ve been looking at the news, checking the polls, and though I am a believer in miracles (Huckebee could win even though it looks impossible), I also have to be somewhat practical–and it looks like Ron Paul is farther behind Huckabee than Huckabee is behind McCain.
I wish I could vote idealistically but my conscience says, let’s give “pro-life” a bigger chance! That is the most important issue. As a friend of mine said, if Hitler were running, you would be a one-issue voter.
So if we could all rally and vote for Huckabee, instead of splitting between him and Paul, we would have a much bigger chance of beating McCain with a pro-lifer!
I wish I could convince everyone to do this!
If you agree with me, please pass it on.
(I know this comes a little late. It took me a while to figure it out and decide.)
Keep praying. It’s not over yet.
Personally, I don’t favor Ron Paul much, but I can’t stand McCain. He borders on being a Democrat in Republican’s clothing.

huh. It’s interesting how people will overlook stuff like that just because it’s what they want to hear (‘itching ears’ and all) and yet will pick apart a good, honest man’s speach just because they don’t want to hear it. Sometimes it’s frustrating that God doesn’t just wipe ’em all out again like in the flood. I guess that’s why I’m not God, no? oh well…=)
i remember after the whole scott peterson trial in california a few years back – a radio host called the president of planned parenthood on the phone and asked her point blank, “should he be convicted of two murders?”needless to say, she squirmed away from answering the question.i try to stay away from political conversations on my blog, but i appreciate your tackling these issues.as for myself, if the election were to be held today, i’d vote for…
I know you heard it accidentally, but that’s precisely why I don’t listen to Hitlary “Commie” Clinton talk. She’s an idiot, and her platforms are ridiculous. I won’t get going here, but that’s a great post Sara. Good stuff.
A good friend of mine came up with this plan, and though it is mean, I think it has some value (sorry if I offend any McCain fans): We vote McCain to become president and Huckabee his vice president, and then we pray that McCain kicks the bucket immediately after entering office. Brilliant, no?
I voted.
Hey sara missed you at church! How are you doing? Is you sis felling better? ttyl
