    To an extent, I agree with you on voting for people that represent your interests despite some objections to their personal life.

    However, I don't think I would vote for a murderer (which is what most pro-life advocates believe abortion is.) because they supported my liberal agenda. I wouldn't even vote for Weiner despite the fact that we agree on most political issues.

    LOL, yes. I'm just saying that someone who votes your interest only goes so far. Weiner wasn't convicted or involved in any kind of murder. The congressman in question here was willing to partake in murder (according to their definition). So to me that's worse than sexting with teenagers which is also not good.

    I for one don't understand why we need to ban abortions. If people really want an abortion, they will just get one legally or illegally. The only way to stop an abortion is with an abortion. We need to abort the children that will later abort their children.

    Often, when a person is an outright hypocrite, lie, has low moral, they tend to do unethical things and cause harm. Accepting those characters because they are more aligned to your view is what got us Trump.

    Murphy is simply an example of today's Republican Party. More than willing to be a lying hypocrite.

    Also, abortions don't kill people. People kill people. Stop blaming abortions.

    The man broke up a family with a toddler so he can cruise around for teenagers and groupies. He pretty much ruined them politically and financially.

    His taint also destroyed Hillary*, but that was uhh... julian and the commies fault.





    *Metaphorically...I don't think Hill shills for threesomes.

    Just no -- we are not going to talk about Weiner's taint.

    What if the opponent of the murderer was also a murderer, but one that was fighting to keep murder legal?

    To me it would depend on whether it was single vs. double homicide or not. Or mass murder.
    In this case, I think the first murderer should simply step aside so that his murderous opponent might win, thereby avoiding legal jeopardy.

    That would be tough, but I am sure that some who are pro-choice haven't actually participated in any kind of abortion so they wouldn't be murderers themselves.

    Nope. He's a puss that didn't want to pay child support.

    You get a gold medal for mental gymnastics though ;)

    People talk about voting for Weiner, but then 65MM voted for Trump who is far more a criminal.
