Venomous Last-Minute
Attacks on Pro-Life Candidates Must be Countered with Dedication
and the Truth Part Three of Three By Dave Andrusko My favorite (and most inspiring) response to last week's coverage of the upcoming November 2 mid-term elections consisted of only five sentences. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Dave, If I had to, I'd crawl on my hands and knees to get out to vote. It's that critical. And I'm very sure every other pro-lifer feels exactly the same way. In the meantime, I'm praying (and offering some good old-fashioned fasting, too). Bless you for being there. Sandy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's the kind of passionate commitment that explains why historically candidates who are pro-life fare so much better among voters for abortion is the decisive issue than do pro-abortionists. And it is also the kind of commitment that candidates who are pro-life will need from their supporters as the attacks on them turn more vicious and more devious. About the former I will mention only one and not go into at any great detail. Anyone who has ever watched MSNBC's Rachel Maddow knows that the facts are never allowed to get in the way. Pro-abort to the hilt, her hostility knows no bounds. Newsbusters has her entire exchange with NBC 's Matt Lauer at http://newsbusters.org/blogs/geoffrey-dickens/2010/10/25/msnbcs-rachel-maddow-links-pro-life-candidates-abortion-doctors-mu#ixzz13OP5Plxm. The first paragraph of the story about the interview with Lauer says it all:
Off the latter I could
pick any of countless examples. The New York Times (of all
publications) ran a piece Friday under the headline "Democrats
Back Third Parties to Siphon Votes"--efforts, according to
reporter Jim Rutenberg, "taking place across the country with
varying degrees of stealth." "In Nevada, conservative radio listeners have heard an advertisement promoting the Senate campaign of a 'Tea Party of Nevada' candidate, Scott Ashjian," he explains. "The ads criticize Sharron Angle [who is pro-life], the Republican nominee and favored candidate of the actual Tea Party movement in the race against Senator Harry Reid [who is pro-abortion], the Democratic majority leader." Where do the ads come from? "The ad was sponsored by a group backed by unions and casino and mining companies supporting Mr. Reid." So, enough said. I hope you've helped those who might need assistance to vote early (where states allow), which you can find at http://www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Sept10/nv091710part2.html. Likewise, in competitive races NRLC is providing you with the kind of information you need to know where the candidates stand (http://stoptheabortionagenda.com/downloads/compare-the-candidates).

"Left-wing
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, on Monday's Today show, disgustingly
tried to link pro-life candidates running in this year's midterm
elections to the murder of abortion Dr. George Tiller." Plugging
her upcoming documentary on Tiller, "[she] warned viewers: 'I
think it's important that it's airing right now because there
are, there are five Senate candidates running right now who have
a position on abortion that has never really been seen in
mainstream politics before.'"
