Running Theme in GOP Debate – Choice

While the democrats claim to be the guarantors of choice in the United States,
it seems that it was the GOP presidential candidates Thursday night that demonstrated themselves to be the new voices of the “pro-choice” movement.

When asked about the federal governments, “infringement on the 10^th amendment” (that basically leaves all decisions not mentioned in the Constitution to the States), Ron Paul answered, “it would be the responsibility of the President to veto every single bill that violated the 10th amendment.”  This in effect would give more choice over issues facing us today to state governments and individuals, rather than the federal government.

I mean, you ARE pro-choice aren’t you?  Hmmmmmmmm?????!!!

Rick Perry, who has been chastised for his stances on Social Security was asked about whether he supports making the program state-run, rather than a federal entitlement, said that even in Mitt Romney’s home state of Massachusetts that, “almost 96% of the people on [the state retirement system] are off social security.”  They don’t pay in, they don’t get anything out.  Sounds like a choice and…

You are pro-choice aren’t you?  Hmmmmmmmm?????!!!

Almost all of the candidates were given the opportunity to respond to the issue of education.  To a person, they expressed interest in returning control of education back to the state and local level.  Vouchers, tax
credits and, as Governor Johnson put it, “create 50 laboratories of innovation” were all variations on a single theme.  Give the CHOICE of how we educate our children back to the states and to
the parents.

Again, you ARE pro-choice aren’t you?  Hmmmmmmmm?????!!!

Dr. Ron Paul defended his Pro-life stance on abortion (although he does support exceptions in cases of rape), that ultimately it should be a states rights issues as it was before Roe v. Wade in 1973.  Sounds like a choice to me and…

You are pro-choice aren’t you?  Hmmmmmmmm?????!!!

Herman Cain even pointed out that he would NOT have had the choice to act to treat the stage 4 cancer he was diagnosed with back in 2006 had Obamacare been in effect back then. He would not have had to CHOICE to act on his, “timetable rather than the government’s” – which is probably why he is still alive.  He wouldn’t have had the opportunity to make the CHOICE to run for President – and…. I mean, really….

You ARE pro-choice aren’t you?  Hmmmmmmmm?????!!!

So, it seems like the only CHOICE that liberals are in support of is the one that, if selected, would result in a human (albeit prenatal, it’s STILL a human) being denied an entire lifetime of choices, but when it comes to your healthcare, your kid’s school, Social Security or your state’s right to decide or delegate decision making power to its citizens, the answer is clear.

NO CHOICE!!

So embrace it, Conservatives are the new (and always have been) party of choice!
