- Well who the hell do you think will be paying for 1.6 million abortions
- per year inside of 12 months? (actually, I tend to think the abortion rate
- will increase under William Jefferson Blythe, but let's stick with a
- verifiable figure). Funny how you complain about taxpayer's wallets when
- it comes to little kids, but you don't have a qualm about those wallets
- if they happen to be paying for body parts in a garbage can.

- Yeah, what about overall talent? You'll cry for the loss of a possible
- cancer cure in some Amazon plant, but not about the loss of the next
- Schweitzer (or pieces thereof) torn out piece by piece.

- Those thoughts should have crossed your mind before you helped elect a
- guy who's promised to tax anyone making more than $50,000 a year (yep,
- according to George Stephanopolous, Clinton's communications director
- $50 K = wealthy. That is, until they find out they STILL don't have
- enough money, in which case it'll drop to $36,000).
