Bush divorces voters who elected him

I didn't even catch wind of this until Paul wrote about it first:

President Bush Approves Over the Counter Early Abortion Pill

Amazingly, I haven't even seen this written about elsewhere. Anywhere. At all.

Just to be clear, it's not OK to conduct stem-cell research on aborted fetuses for human and genetic research, but it is OK to allow an easier way to terminate the pregnancy in the first place and move even more into abortion-on-demand, despite all previous stances.

At least now the left AND right can unify on something - getting this sorry excuse for a president out of office. Perhaps John Conyers isn't so far from a good idea as we thought. Between war mis-management, financial mis-management, poor judicial appointments, failing to execute almost all of his ideas aside from tax cuts, and failing to react as needed to crises such as Katrina, I'd say it's time to go.

When it is all said and done, he may be ranked as a President as badly as Jimmy Carter. Possibly even worse, because he stuck around for eight years instead of four.

Hopefully, in 2008, we can elect a president who has a clue and a brain. I only know of one person who could win the presidency and be true to the conservative movement without making a complete ass out of himself. Frankly, the 2008 race will be a war between parties regardless, so as Jeff pointed out it might be best to at least run with the candidate that best represents them than running with the most liked, most conflicting candidate, or the most controversial candidate within the party, or a continuation of the past eight years.

And yes, I'm cranky at the moment.

Trying to remember my DiGiacomo:

Isn't it the official position that life doesn't begin until the zygote implants in the womb, and as such theoretically the pill (which prevents that) would be OK (or at least acceptable)?

As that relates to fertility clinic embryos that will never see the light of implantation or life, well, ya got me why one is acceptable and the other isn't.

Actually, I don't care about either issue, just couldn't pass up the easy Regis reference.
