There isnt one. No one is pro-death.

You are not pro life. Their is no option for pro life in pro choice. none. therefore you are pro death.

I asked a question, you cannot and do not read peoples minds or motives.

I've never tried to read your mind and your motives are irrelevent. I require neither to say that you're absolutely brimming with fail.

Do you not even remember what you wrote? You can go back and check if your memory is as faulty as your spelling and logic.

Your original question has no answer. There is no opposite of "pro life" as abortion is not the black and white issue some of the rapeublican party's more vocal mouthbreathers would like everyone to believe. You might as well have asked "what is the opposite of cheeseburger?" because it makes about as much sense.

No option for pro-life in pro-choice?

the very definition of choice allows for that option.

Maybe you need a dictionary beside you when you post.

I am all for allowing a woman to make her own choice... that is pro-choice. Its not one I would make.... but its not just about me.

As per usual, the response is not a sentence nor even intelligible.

insane......at least you know who you are... a mouth full of birdshit.

you havent anything relevant yet other obama won.......

I'm going to let you in on a deep dark secret. This board is a written medium. You are incapable of writing intelligibly. You also seem to be incapable of reading comprehension as I have reported at length what the Republican party did wrong this time as well as suggestions on how they can once again become the GRAND Old Party.
You are supposedly 33 years old yet your writing skill is on par with an elementary school student. Please, for the love of all that is holy, go back to school and get your GED. Skills obtained there will help you get a well paying job and you can then be working at that instead of torturing the people in this board with your utter illiteracy.

Now I'm a communist because I disagree with your myopic views? Interesting logic. It's clearly on par with your spelling and grammar prowess.

Fail. Again.

An early hunch for 2016 is Jeb Bush who
spent this campaign positioning himself as
a voice of reason and tilting moderate.
He also has the asset of a Latina wife.
Then there's Rubio who gave Mitt the first
shove down the river with his convention
speech.

What does the party need to do?
Let the nineteenth century die.
Accept the world has changed and
straight white male hegemony is over
and won't be making a comeback.
Lose the fundie teapartiers.
Stop pissing off the Ron Paul supporters.
Realize that the majority of women voters
aren't like your grizzly mama sister wives.
Lose the draconian immigration stances.
Realize that young white voters don't by and
large share the racial and gay hang ups of
their grandparents.

Stop trading in a Dick Lugar for a Mourdock,
a Christopher Shays for a Linda McMahon,
a Lisa Murkowski for a Joe Miller.

Stop letting unelectable and unfit candidates
win the party primary. Akin, Mourdock, McMahon.
Didn't learn anything from Angle, McDonnell
and Miller in 2008.

Think about bringing back the Rockfeller
Republican. Moderate on social issues.
Educated. Not prone to birther nuttiness.

You can't be a national party without women
and nonwhites any longer. Sixty four percent
of female voters went for Obama. If you want
to believe they're all arcade queens go ahead.
Over seventy percent of African American,
Latino and Asian American voted Democrat.
Keep repulsing them with your pasty birther
pep rallies and your back in the good ole days
nostalgia but guess what they're Americans to
and they vote and will continue to do so.

I agree on the Bush thing but think maybe they try to make Rubio into Obama Republican......Or Huntsman Jr. who would have been a far better candidate against the President

I see the socks have chosen irrelevancy for their party. That's too bad.

For Republicans/conservatives with brains, go up thread and look at that demographic chart of the 2012 electorate. Note in particular thatthe percentage of the white vote was72%. In 2014 it will be more like 70% and in 2016 it will be under 70. With those trends how long before Texas, the state that lets your side even pretend to be relevant, is a swing state?

Extremism and hate are a bad basis for a political party and having the Republican party defined by such hurts this nation. Please come back to tolerance for those who disagree with you and re-embrace the belief that government should stay out of people's private affairs.

Americanism, limited government, call it what you will is dying. It's the equivalent of barbarians being allowed inside the gate. Given sufficient numbers and society has no choice but to alter to its next permutation. What made America so exceptional is becoming no more, and quickly. Immigrants have no concept of why America was able to do what it did. All they know is that they want some of it. Eventually America will look more like where they came from.

Even second and third generation are, for the most part, no exception. It's not in their make up. It's just the way it is.

The EU is suffering similarly.

They do need to move more to the center though and rid themselves of the extremist part of their party.


Is that ever going to happen? I think the thing that I, as a Brit, find most alien of all about American political culture is that it's so polarised. Here, many have pointed to the opposite sort of problem: that it's so centralised. Elections, everyone here knows, are won on the centre ground.
