Bush and the Culture of Life/Death
As for the President's address, I for one have no stomach for his discussion of the culture of life. This from the governor who presided over more executions than any other, who is currently waging an unjust war in Iraq that has claimed the lives of thousands of Americans and Iraqis, and whose version of protecting the "weak" is tax cuts for the rich and audits for the poor... grr... Isn't it patently obvious that his "culture of life" rhetoric is just Rove-doctored, Catholic focus-group candy? Is anyone actually buying this drivel? (Of course, this is not to say that the Democrats are any better...)
UPDATE: I couldn't help but notice this last paragraph from the Reuters article on the Bush address:
As anti-abortion activists gathered in Washington and elsewhere across the country, Bush headed for Kansas where he spoke about the war on terrorism. As he has in past years, the president phoned in his support rather than attend in person.
Phoning it in. Doesn't that just perfectly sum up Bush's commitment to the Culture of Life?
