Anti-choice website supports many Democrats. Anti-everything.
Edited on Sat Aug-07-04 02:33 PM by madfloridian
This group appears to be supporting a lot of candidates thoughout the country. The one they are supporting here is very inadequate, does not have a clue what he is doing.

http://www.democratsforlife.org/dfla/endorsements.htm

Tell me more about this website. I noticed it when I got an email about our congressional candidate's opponent who is a Republican by nature:
SNIP..." Says he supports NAFTA, GATT, and WTO generally, although he realizes they have resulted in some outsourcing of jobs he says they have meant more good to the US.

Says he does not support gay marriage. When LB asked about civil unions, he says he probably would not support either as it would likely mean generally the same thing. Also said he would have voted for the Defense of Marriage Act.

And said at the end of the interview that he has been endorsed by the group Democrats for Life of America http://www.democratsforlife.org/dfla/endorsements.htm , a anti-choice group."

The email goes on to say he was totally inept on a radio interview. Hubby has heard him speak and met him, and he has no clue what he is doing. Others have noticed as well. He is running in the primaries against our candidate, Jeff Siemer, who is pro-choice and running on a fiscally competent, socially liberal platform. He has no paid staff at all, stictly a grassroots.

2. Asking again....are all these Democrats anti-choice? Huge number.
I never realized it before. The one they are supporting in Florida is definitely against any choice. He is very much a conservative in all his views.
