SNIP..."SAN FRANCISCO - Two Democratic congresswomen who support abortion rights have penned a letter to members of the Democratic National Committee endorsing an abortion rights opponent, former Indiana congressman Tim Roemer, to be the next Democratic party chairman.

In the letter dated Wednesday, California Reps. Anna Eshoo and Ellen Tauscher called Roemer "the candidate we trust" for the DNC chairmanship and warned activists not to discount him because of his views on abortion.

"As chair of the DNC, he will not set policy nor will he propose altering the Democratic Party platform on this issue," Eshoo and Tauscher wrote. "We know Tim as a Catholic who has deep personal convictions on the issue of abortion."

Eshoo and Tauscher said they were endorsing Roemer because of his policies on national security and his interest in strengthening the state parties. And, they wrote, his election would demonstrate that the Democratic Party is truly committed to a diversity of views on critical issues.

"His election would prove that we are an inclusive party that welcomes those who agree with our bedrock Democratic ideals, but may hold differing positions on issues across a number of policy areas," they wrote."

1. "Will not set policy"... "endorsing Roemer for his policies on Nat. Sec."

A real "I voted for it before I voted against it" moment.

[Pirate Smile]

2. Frankly, his voting against Clinton's fiscal policies in 93' and for Bush

tax cuts is a bigger problem for me. I think people can disagree on abortion but he seems to disagree on the entire fiscal/economic policy of the Democrats too.

:wtf:

3. Thanks for bringing that up.

I no longer support his nomination for chair. That would be like having Lincoln Chaffee run for GOP Chair- a RINO who will not remove his party label but espouses little of its platform.

4. It boggles the mind that 2 female California Democratic congresspersons

would endorse an anti-abortion congressman.

5. I'll take their warning under advisement...NOT!

What are Dean's views on National Security, madfloridian?

[madfloridian]

6. Good point. DNC chair does not set national security policy. Crazy.

It really is...
Oh, BTW, I think he is for it....national security, that is.
:think: :eyes:

He thinks it's a really good idea to have it...security that is.

[Cha]

9. I know they don't set policy..but it got

me curious when I googled it..and couldn't find anything except a LAtimes article that said the insiders didn't want Dean because they didn't want to "derail their efforts" on National Security issues.

8. Don't criticize Roemer for his stance on abortion...but

let's all feel free to point out that Roemer is the president of the Council of National Policy, the most dangerous and powerful sect of the elite that put Bush and Facism back in the White House.

"The fact of the matter is, Tim Roemer is current president of the CNP Council of National Policy and is a willing companion and even has a relative in the Knights of Malta. He is at the very center of Opus Dei government, and soon he will take over the reigns of the DNC chair.

James Dobson has been wishing for this day very quickly, as it will extend their grasp over the minds of the people by fore-fronting more evangelical wards and religious dictatorships, which will force a republic for Opus Dei unlike any has seen before.

Roemer's history with playing politics on behalf of the Oil industry is clouded, and full of deadlock deeds in which the pope pats him on the back. It is their way of god or the highway, and all such organizations are tax exempt. Now they will gladly pawn the rest of you who believe in Roemer's "forward thinking" into becoming slaves for nothing more than fanaticism.

These are some of the folks Roemer worked for:

I guess we should be so lucky to witness the big ascent of the New World Order, the ultimate dream of the Illuminati for centuries. They've been working hard at it for a long time, so let's all give them a round of applause! Hooray for global dominance!

10. Here's Roemer's bio, clearly states he is the CNP president

This man is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Scratch that, he is a mutant killer cybernetic wolf hell bent on leading the armies of darkness to the slaughter of innocents, in sheep's clothing (ok I'm exagerrating, but do a search on the Council of National Policy at namebase.org or whatever and tell me those bastards are anything but pure evil).
