DNC Chair declares there is no place for pro-life Democrats in today’s party
posted at 9:31 am on April 23, 2017 by Jazz Shaw


We went through a lengthy period where the former chair of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, provided nearly endless amusement with her frequently unhinged antics. It made for some great television and she provided a convenient foil for Republicans who wanted to demonstrate the unserious nature of some Democratic positions. After the brief, but embarrassing tenure of disgraced interim chair Donna Brazile, I’m sure that the Democrats were hoping for some significantly more “stable” leadership under Tom Perez. That really doesn’t seem to be working out, though. In the latest of his many odd statements, the new boss let all of his soldiers in the field know that if you don’t support abortion on demand then you shouldn’t expect any backing from the national party.

I have to believe what he plainly says is being "intentionally" taken out of context by the "vast right wing conspiracy" "racists" to make him look bad to "crackers.":whistle:

No problem there since there is no such thing as a pro-life Democrat.  Even the ones who claim to be pro-life (e.g. Bob Casey, Joe Donnelly, Bart Stupak, etc.) will always vote pro-abortion when it matters.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Apparently democrats are determined to self-destruct.  Let's not stand in the way.

You'd be surprised. Many Catholics in flyover are pro-life but Democrat. That pretty much describes my county.

This should open up new opportunities for the GOP to make gains.
The Republic is lost.

How do they reconcile their claim to be pro-life against their propensity to vote for pro-abortion politicians?

Even Notre Dame University caters to pro-abortion politicians while claiming their seat under the Catholic umbrella.  God is not fooled.

One cannot honestly claim to be pro-free market while voting for socialists.  The same holds true for the sanctity of life.  If you vote for politicians who support government subsidies for Planned Parenthood, then you can't be pro-life no matter how much you may claim to be.

Because they are legacy blue dog union Democrats and they are uninformed. Daddy, Grandpa, and Great-Grandpa voted Democrat, and they still think it's the party of Truman and Kennedy.

However, Trump did win handily here this time, and actually had some decent coattails, so things are changing. I think many are realizing here the Dem party has left them, even on the union issue.

Of course there is; and the large majority are Catholics.  They remain strongly pro-life but are drawn to the democrat's "promise" of helping the less fortunate through government programs.

Radom comments:

Perez is a foul mouthed 'fanatic', in every sense of that word.

I cannot understand how the Unions could support a Party dedicated to open borders, which undermines everything the Unions are trying to achieve. There is no way that unlimited, unregulated, cheap labor could be in the Union's best interests.

We have already seen this kind of alienation at the anti-Trump women's march. Pro-life women were not allowed to march in the group, no matter how female and anti-Trump they were. I liked it then and I like it now. The more narrow the Liberals make the gate, and the more requirements they place on who is, and who is not, a "real" Liberal, the better it is for everyone.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
