Entry: Is John McCain Really Pro-Life? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/is_john_mccain_really_pro_life#20818 Post contents: The GOP should be consigned to the dust bin of history. With the exception of 1976 in which I voted for third-party candidate Tom Anderson and later when I voted for a conservative Democrat for Ohio state auditor, I have voted Republican. When I became interested in politics (1967-1968) the Democratic party to me was the party of Vietnam, inflation, race and campus riots, etc. The "conservative" GOP seemed the only answer. I believe there actually was a time when they could have become the conservative party in America. That day passed if it ever was a reality. I will not vote for the rhetoric any more. Neither party's national leadership is pro-life. There are pro-life conservative Republicans and there are pro-life conservative Democrats out in the hustings. But their value is simply to be milked for votes. When the Buchanan Republicans and the (George) Wallace Democrats wise up and walk out of their respective parties, there may be the genesis of a truly traditionalist political party. I ain't holding my breath on that one. Sent at: 2008 07 08
