Um, Democrats, Have You Listened To Your Senate Candidate From Indiana Lately?

I need a little more luck than a little bit

'Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit
And every time that I try I get tongue tied
I'll need a little good luck to get me by...

"I believe life begins at conception. The only exception I have for to have an abortion is in the case of the life of the mother. I struggled with myself for a long time but I came to realize life is that gift from God, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape. It is something that God intended to happen."

- Richard Murdock

What Democrats are conveniently ignoring is that Murdock’s Democratic opponent, Indiana congressman Joe Donnelly, also describes himself as pro-life, believes life begins at conception, co-sponsored HR 3, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, that would have banned abortion coverage in state health-insurance exchanges, and supported a bill backed by Todd Akin that banned government funding for abortions except in certain cases such as “forcible rape.”

Regardless of how one feels about abortion, it seems to me that Murdock's position is consistent, i.e., if life begins at conception and is a "gift from God," then how that life is conceived is irrelevant.  I don't think that Murdock was condoning rape in any way whatsoever.

But, if the Democrats want to talk about extreme positions and abortion, what about the Dems candidate for Senate in Connecticut, who said that life didn’t begin until birth? Maybe, he’d like to explain to Danny Ray Poplin, Jr, why he is serving a 50 years to life sentence for a first degree MURDER conviction handed down after he killed his unborn child by stabbing its mum (she survived) in the abdomen.  

Maybe, President Obama would like to explain his 5 votes against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.  Perhaps?  Nah.  It's "above his paygrade."

Tongue Tied - Faber Drive

Bright cold silver moon
Tonight alone in my room
You were here just yesterday
Slight turn of the head
Eyes down when you said
I guess I need my life to change
Seems like something's just aren't the same
What could I say?

I need a little more luck than a little bit
Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit
And every time that I try I get tongue tied
I'll need a little good luck to get me by

I need a little more help than a little bit
Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet
Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I stare up at the stars
I wonder just where you are
You feel a million miles away
(I wonder just where you are)
Was it something I said?
Or something I never did?
Or was I always in the way?
Could someone tell me what to say to just make you stay?

I need a little more luck than a little bit
Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit
And every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by

I need a little more help than a little bit
Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet
Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I know it feels like the end
Don't want to be here again
And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again
What it takes I don't care
We're gonna make it I swear
And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again
Again

I need a little more luck than a little bit
Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit
But every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by

I need a little more help than a little bit
Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet
Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied
I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I know it feels like the end
Don't want to be here again
And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again
What it takes I don't care
We're gonna make it I swear
And we could help each other off the ground so we never fall down again
