37. Why do you assume that women don't trust Casey?
I we so single minded issue that this is all that our brains think about? Damn that would be a pretty pathetic lifesytle.

I am pro-choice, I vote, I support, I organize and I participate in pro-choice activies in groups including NARAL, Planned Parenthood and Emily's List.

And if I was still registered in Pennsylvania I'd vote for the guy.

Stop worry about Abortion and start worrying about how were gonna end this quagmire in Iraq. Perhaps that's just a tad bit more important. I mean with your flawed thinking I guess woman should be scared to vote for John Murtha because his stance on choice is harsher than Casey's.

But here's something to think about why women shouldn't be scared about Bob Casey.

The Struggle in Iraq

The situation in Iraq has no easy solutions. Our troops are doing an outstanding job in battling insurgent forces. But the administration's misconceived and badly executed strategies have been turning Iraq into a worldwide haven for terrorists and endangering hope for a stable democracy to emerge.

We now know that the Bush administration's rationale for its rush to war was horribly flawed. The supposedly imminent threat posed by the Hussein regime's possession of weapons of mass destruction did not exist. And it has become evident that the administration did not have a real plan for keeping the peace after our military's rout of Hussein and his military forces. Thus our soldiers have suffered more loss of life and limb from terrorist guerilla warfare after the toppling of Hussein's dictatorial regime.

Too many Washington politicians continue to shirk their duty to press the hard and necessary questions about our involvement in Iraq. Bob Casey will push for a clear exit strategy and real plans for the Iraqi forces to take care of their own security, and development of a government structure that is widely seen as legitimate among Iraq's various ethnic groups. This year should be a year of transition for the Iraqis to take responsibility for their own security and governance.


Now you tell me - does this sound like Rick Santorum's plan? I don't think so. It sounds a plan to ask questions and put together a strategy to get our soldiers out of Iraq (it's prerty much inline with the Levin amendment)

So you tell me - why women are scared. Perhaps if the woman has a child over in Iraq they might be scared of possibly losing that child
