Did the Democrats kill their chances of victory in 2000 and 2004 ?

Question

Literally, by supporting abortion ?

Consider this: Millions of babies never born because they were aborted. These babies would have grown up and been more likely to vote Democratic because:

- Younger people tend to be more liberal.
- Minority women are more likely to get an abortion.
- Children vote like their parents. Probably, most of those women who had abortions are more likely Democratic voters than Republicans.

Answer 1

lol.... what an interesting perspective!.... a real roe vs wade conundrum!..... just think ......had it not been for the "lock box".... well.... lol....

Answer 2

first of all i am a liberal and no i don't think that the abortion issue is what made us lose---we don't support abortion its self---we just support the right to freedom and the right to make the choice yur self---just cause we think that people should be able to make the choice doesn't mean that we think abortion is right or justified.
second--the minority and women aspect that you pointed out is total bull---there are so many republican women that i could name (none of which you'd know)--some of which have had abortions, some which support it (the choice), and some which ignorantly call people "baby killers"
lastly--consider this---those millions of babies that you talk about more than likely would have ended up in an adoption agency or would be living on welfare--you as a republican (i'm assuming) would not want to spend your taxes on children that aren't yours--and honestly its slightly cruel that you would want those babies to have been born knowing that they would probably have to live such lives--take it from someone who knows---its not fun.
---i hope that i have given you some insight, if not then have a nice day

Answer 3

Yes, they did lose due to their own stupidity. They ran on the platform of the Republicans suck without giving us the voters any insight as to how they would do things different and/or better. When I was younger I bought into the whole Democrat BS. I voted for Bill Clinton the first time I voted and regretted it within 6 months of him being in office. I do not want a President who uses polls to decide on what to do. Clinton promised that Gays would have fair and equal treatment in the Military. Instead he settled on the idiotic "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. I was pregnant with my son when Clinton was in office. I had a high risk pregnancy and was advised to abort. I couldn't collect unemployment or disability because under Clinton, pregnancy was listed as a medical condition. I was told by the disability office that the doctor had given me his recommendation for my "medical condition" and it was my choice to take (as they out it) the "non-traditional route" of putting my faith in God instead. Under Bush, those of us with children qualify for the child-tax exemption even if our children aren't in daycare.

And for the morons who still haven't gotten it, the Republicans won because more people voted for them than voted for the Democrats.

Answer 4

a million. He become surpassed the Oval workplace on a silver platter through his dad's acquaintances on the perfect court docket decrease back in 2000, and in the technique, 1000's of Floridians were denied the right to vote. 2. through the way, bill Clinton gained the 1992 and 1996 elections, so does that recommend he's smarter than the elder Bush or Bob Dole?:)

Answer 5

No they didn't but the republicans need to be out of office and maybe things like the ECONOMY would get better. I personally don't agree with abortion, but I think that it is a choice better left to individuals. Even if abortion was to become illegal, young women who really wanted one would go to backstreet abortionists like they did before roe vs. wade. Getting democrats out of office will not stop abortion, but republicans will continue to kill the economy.

Answer 6

To say the election was stolen is beyond dumb. Don't you think there were just as many democratic eyes as republican watching each count and recount? The reason they lost is because each time they had a weak candidate and they were too far swaying on key issues. And no, im not a republican either, I voted for the GREENS

Answer 7

Good question. I like your reasoning. I think that abortion didn't have that much to do with the elections. 2000 was Al Gores fault. 2004 we were in the middle of the war on terror and most people thaught it was a bad time to change Presidents.

Answer 8

They don't stand for anything. Therfore why would someone vote for someone that is wishy washy on every issue. They don't care about killing babies but they do care about killing terrorists. They want the troops taken out of Iraq but then vote to keep them there. They never have a solution to a problem. They simply state waht they think is wrong and offer nothing about what they could do better.

Answer 9

The Democrats did not "kill their chances" in either election. The Republicans (not all of them, just some key Republicans, i.e. Katherine Harris and Kenneth Blackwell), helped to steal both elections.

Answer 10

You planning on raising all those millions that their parents didn't want?

WHere's your proof of this claim?

Against abortion, don't have one.

The Reps stole 2000. The Dems committed suicide in 2004.

-----------------
How many Iraqi babies will never be born because of all the innocent men killed by Bush's illegal invasion?

Answer 11

I think that the Democrats said over and over that change was needed, which resonated with many voters, but they never laid out a clear statement of precisely what changes were needed or how those changes would be carried out.
