Translation<\/a>: I believe in deliberately killing innocent human life if it stands in the way of my acquisition of power. In Massachusetts, all innocent human life stood in the way of my acquisition of power because Massachusetts was overwhel mingly pro-abortion. So I was a zealous pro-abort Governor for years and years and you can see it all on Youtube. However, in mainstream American conservative culture, only innocents conceived in rape and incest are acceptably killed, so when I decided to run for President, I started saying I believe in killing only them. I also totally lied and said I governed as a pro-lifer. The main thing to remember, though, is that I am absolutely consistent on one point: Any innocent who would endanger my rise to power must die. My deeply Catholic running mate supports this position. And when prolifers point that out, they get shouted down and told\u2013by other prolifers\u2013to get in line behind me instead of me getting pressured to not murder innocent babies! Is this a great country or what? Now shut up and vote for me.<\/p>\n

The other key quote: \u201cRecognize this is the decision that will be made by the Supreme Court,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Democrats try and make this a political issue every four years, but this is a matter in the courts. It\u2019s been settled for some time in the courts<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s going to betray prolifers. He\u2019s not even subtle. Indeed, he\u2019s already in the process of betraying them. The whole matter is a \u201cdistraction\u201d for him as the article makes clear and, as far as he\u2019s concerned, it\u2019s already been settled for some time. Prolifers who place their hope in this guy are deluding themselves. They should stop wasting time and energy pressuring other prolifers to shut about this guy\u2019s obvious duplicity and instead start threatening this ticket within an inch of their lives if they don\u2019t comply with prolife demands.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
