Future V.P. Debate

[Sitting in our Hippocratic office the other evening a man appeared in a puff of smoke claiming to be from the future.He said his name was Brad Hanson and that he came back to the past to deliever to us this,yet to be,vice presidential debate video tape.Here is a partial transcript:]

Moderator:Mrs.Palin,Contrary to early reports that the Republican Party was going to keep it's strong-some refer to it as a -'total' -ban on abortions in this year's platform,that appears not to be the case.If I may refer to page 52 of that document,there is no specific language stating that the party opposes an abortion ban in cases of rape,incest,or the fear of the mother's life.My question to you,Mrs.Palin,do you personally feel that your party's language is strong enough in this area?Why?Why not?


Sarah Palin:Thank you for your question.I have long been an an opponent of any and all abortions.I ran on this issue in my very first election.Let's be perfectly clear on this:abortion is murder.All abortion.The language of our-the Republican-platform is very very strong.There is no need,absolutely no need,to include phrases and clauses into our stance.It is very clear as stated on it's own.Republicans are against abortion.We are for 'Life.Liberty,and the pursuit of Happiness',as I believe all good Americans are.

In fact,our party has done more than our fair share to save the unborn.Almost all laws-or attempted laws-to stop this genocide have come from within the Christian right:the Republican Party.

I praise my opponent,Senator Biden,for also being pro-life.I question-however-his audacity.While spouting verbiage of support,Mr.Biden,a supposed good Catholic,waffles letting millions of innocents die because in policy,he continues to look the other way.My opponent allows abortion.As Jesus himself said,"He who is not with me,is against me."Pardon my bluntness,Mr.Biden,but I feel your stance is just more of the Washington bluster.


Moderator:Senator Biden...a rebuttal?


Senator Biden:Thank you.First off,I would like to congratulate my opponent for the chance to debate her,today.It's about time that the Republicans brought a female pitbull-even one wearing lipstick- into the fight.But since Ms.Palin so graciously brought MY LORD,JESUS into this debate,I do not think that I would be remiss in quoting my savior,as well.Asked if it was lawful to pay the tax Jesus said:"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's."Now,if this isn't Jesus supporting the separation of church and state,I don't know what is.See,here is where Governor Palin and I disagree.I feel that the Republican party is more responsible for this abortion debacle than they are willing to admit.They say they feel strongly on this issue,but play politics constantly with it.Most Democrats feel as their Republican brother's do,that abortion should not be used as birth control.But as is painfully obvious to most Americans,'abstinence only' does not always work.And with big business/Wall Street pushing out more and more sex provoking images to sell shampoo,the sexual labios of some very very good kids is being put to the test daily.It just keeps getting harder and harder to'just say no'.

But that is not the main issue,here.I am constantly amazed,Governor,that the party that is constantly spouting it wants less and less government,is pushing for more.

Your party's exclusive no exception abortion policy is an abomination to us Democrats.How can you tell a husband that he has NO RIGHT/NO CHOICE in whether his wife lives or dies?If the decision has to be made between a mother's life or that of the unborn child's-how dare you say that the government's rights supercede that of the families?

That's what this debate is about,the familes right in a crisis situation to make the painful decision.The government is too big when it gets that final say.And until the G.O.P. moderates it's position on this matter,there can be no compromise.We can not allow your big government interference to have the ultimate authority on a familes life or death situation.Live Free or die,Mrs.Palin.Live Free or die.


Moderator:Rubuttal,Goveror?


Sarah Palin:You're having a bad hair day,senator.I already said that the Republican platform on abortion in no way mentions,'in cases of rape,incest or because of the mother's health'.That's not mentioned anywhere.You're barking up the wrong tree,senator.In most cases it isn't the size of the dog in the fight,but it's the size of fight in the dog.You,you're neither-you're best bet is to put your tail between your leg and hightail it out of here.
