It's amazing hearing actual progressive social policy from sixteen years ago. What Cuomo is saying is simple economic truth. This is the truth. I'm afraid that poverty in America is now permanently off the table.

Cuomo remains the greatest American orator since perhaps William Jennings Bryan and perhaps in all American history. He is the absolute master of the art.

We need him to speak at the 2008 DNC because even though he's talking about big Bush it sounds like he's talking about (now) president Bush; which means that both of them are one in the same. We need Barack Obama to bounce our economy back.

I have no desire to control people's sex lives. You abortionists use clever euphemisms like "reproductive decisions" to cover up what you are doing. Take a good hard look at an aborted baby and then claim it isn't a baby. The abortion mafia loves it when people blow up clinics because it helps them to raise even more millions of dollars to kill more babies, thats why it wouldn't help to blow up the nearest clinic. Do you know that people have actually survived abortions?

If you actually believed abortion was murder, you are an evil, morally weak person.If you truly believed that millions of innocent people were being murdered, it would be your obligation to do anything in your power to blow up the nearest clinic, and would be willing to face prison."Pro-lifers" don't actually believe abortion is murder. It's just part of their angry rhetoric which is driven by their desire to control people's sex lives and reproductive decisions.

I am not against abortions per se. Abortion has always been a reasonable, albeit unfortunate, choice when the mothers health is truly at risk. But that is the only time that abortion is reasonable that I can think of. Otherwise the "choice" that the woman has is not to get pregnant in the first place (not including those pregnancies that occur because of rape of course).

Well I obviously don't agree with such late-term abortions on a whim - though as you admit there are genuine cases where late-term abortions are reasonable, since there is a genuine threat to the mother's health. I frankly think it would be a lot better if the US had passed abortion through a legislative process, not by Supreme Court judgment - but that's to get into a whole other debate. Presumably therefore you are not against abortion per se?

jimfarrowlove (July 24, 2008 at 2:34 am)

States are allowed to regulate abortions after the the first trimester except in cases of "health". The thing is that "health" can be and is interpreted so broadly that the baby can be aborted at ANY stage of the pregnancy. We have therefore throughout the USA - abortion on demand. There are abortion doctors who specialize in late term abortions.

MjoEm32 (July 18, 2008 at 3:32 pm)

Well I am British, not American, so you show me the examples of states that allow abortions at 7 months. FTR, I don't believe there should be at that stage, unless there is a medical need.In the UK, the test is whether the foetus has any kind of decent chance of surviving outside the womb, and we've just had another debate in parliament about whether to ban (the v small number) of abortions between 20 and 24 weeks. It was decided not, because the foetus's chances of survival are so low.

When they support abortion on demand it therefore leads to babies being murdered during the seventh month of pregancy. You are ignoring this FACT deliberately. If you realize that there is something amiss w/killing said baby it calls into question abortion on demand. I do appreciate that there are rare circumstances when an abortion is necessary. Cuomo used fine words/polished speech to lay ideologoical platform for the murder of innoncent people. In this and only this - he is like Hitler.
