But will their elections make any difference? Let's pray these pro-lifers don't sell their souls for their politics. We see that with plenty of so-called pro-lifers who abandon babies in the "hard cases" as if a baby conceived in rape or incest is less worthy of life. Since when do we sentence children to capitol punishment for the crimes of their fathers?
Fact Check ran an article clarifying the positions of GOP candidates against the distortions of their opponents. I found it rather horrifying, since most of the corrections are for charges that the candidates defend the unborn in all cases. Fact Check outlines all the exceptions these "pro-lifers" enthusiastically support. How would you feel about the statement -"I'm against abortion except in cases of rape and incest," if you were conceived in those situations?
Two rape victims lived with us when we were a shepherding home.. One was stabbed and lost her baby. The other was a victim of a date rape. Her child is an adult today and a mom herself. God never made a baby by accident even when the circumstances of conception were not according to His will. That just proves that God is bigger than sin. He brings good even out of evil.
Praise God today for all the survivors of rape -- both the rape victims -- and the little ones who survived in a culture that says their lives aren't worth living. And pray that our political leaders will defend the lives of all unborn babies. They are created equal and have a right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Faux Conservative Barbara Comstock Announces Run for Wolf Seat
My friend Sandy sent the following information about Barbara Comstock who's entering the race for Congress to win Frank Wolf's seat. Read the data below and realize that Comstock is neither unequivocally pro-life, nor does she support traditional marriage. Her nomination as the Republican candidate would ensure many true conservatives will stay home. What's the benefit of electing Democrat-lite? I certainly could never pull the lever for her. She's wrong on the two biggest issues of our time, abortion and traditional marriage. The time to fight is now. I urge contributions and notes of support to Bob Marshall. We need a real social conservative in the race, not a woman who supported making the pill an over the counter drug, wants to require health exchanges to offer abortion, and supports the lunacy that two men or two women can contract a marriage.
Visit Bob Marshall's website and commit to helping him beat this faux conservative!

Friends,
I have good and bad news. The bad new is Barbara Comstock had jumped into the race for retiring Frank Wolf's 10 District seat (House of Reps). She is a nominal Catholic, I am told, and has the support of substantial pro-gay big wigs. She raked in at least $99.000 for her run from those sources (see below).
The GOOD NEWS is that Bob Marshall would like to challenge her. But he needs our help to make phone calls, etc. If he knows he has enough foot soldiers for the fight, he will announce.
I think you know Bob Marshall well enough. He is truly worthy of our support.
Below is background on Comstock.I don't think she will be bragging about her gay support as she campaigns. We will have to do that for her. That's why phoning registered 10th District Republicans is so important. Bob Marshall's campaign will provide the names, phone numbers and script to follow. Bob could surely use financial support, but your time in calling potential voters is also very important.
If any of you savvy political guys are interested in helping organize this effort, please let me know.

Here's the info I received:
Barbara Comstock received around $80,000 from Paul Singer http://www.vpap.org/donors/profile/money_out_details/102094?committee_id=2632&end_year=2013&filing_period=all&lookup_type=year&start_year=2007
who is a billionaire hedge fund operator who started a PAC to steer the Republican Party in favor of homosexual marriage (his son "married" a man.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Singer_(businessman) See excerpt:
Gay rights[edit]
Singer has contributed to gay-rights causes and same-sex marriage campaigns, and has also actively sought to persuade other conservatives to support gay marriage. He has joined other Wall Street executives in support of LGBT equality in the workplace as a means of retaining employees and improving overall business outcomes.[32] He has said that same-sex marriage promotes “family stability” and said that in a time when “the institution of marriage in America has utterly collapsed,” the fact that gay couples want to marry “is kind of a lovely thing and a cool thing and a wonderful thing.”[33]
In 2012, Singer provided $1 million to start a PAC named American Unity PAC. According to the New York Times, the PAC's "sole mission will be to encourage Republican candidates to support same-sex marriage, in part by helping them to feel financially shielded from any blowback from well-funded groups that oppose it."[34]
Barbara Comstock refused to cosign Bob's letter to Governor McAuliffe to urge him to appoint legal counsel to defend Virginia's marriage amendment since AG Herring has refused to do so.
Barbara Comstock voted for and pushed for Tracy Thorne-Begland to become a judge. This man announced his homosexuality on TV's Nightline, even though he was in the Military at the time of the ban on open homosexuality. He was active with the Human Rights Campaign which is a radical pro-homosexual organization. (Political activists do not have the temperament to be a judge.) The Republican leadership also pushed for Thorne-Begland’s nomination and confirmation and he now serves as District Court Judge in Richmond.
Barbara Comstock voted against allowing Obamacare exchanges to opt out of covering abortion. The Family Foundation noted these anti-family votes (Judgeship and Abortion Insurance Opt Out) on page 8 of their 2012-2013 Scorecard.
http://familyfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2013-Report-Card-Condensed1.pdf (See page 8).
Barbara Comstock voted against, and tried to convince Governor McDonnell to veto Bob's bill which became law which said that Virginia would not cooperate in the indefinite detention of American citizens under the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, without due process.
On her Delegate website Barbara Comstock has under the heading of health care, words to the effect that Medicaid needs to be reformed before it can be expanded. Bob would be against expansion whether or not reforms go through. (("Reforms" whatever they turn out to be cannot possibly rid the Medicaid program of waste, fraud and abuse which runs so deep even the General Accountability Office said they cannot get a handle on the extent of it.) http://www.comstockfordelegate.com/issues/default.aspx
On Medicaid Reform: Delegate Comstock supports Medicaid reform before trying to expand what is currently an inefficient and broken system that does not serve those intended as well as it should. Medicaid is the fastest-growing line item in the budget - growing from $3 billion in 2002 to more than $7 billion in 2012 – a 133% increase and 22% of the state budget, threatening to crowd out other key services such as economic development, education and transportation. Delegate Comstock supports Medicaid reform through
the implementation of better-coordinated services and managed-care options, the adoption of cost-sharing, the promotion of health and wellness, and by cracking down on fraud. Delegate Comstock has continued working with her colleagues in the General Assembly to find workable reforms so that Medicaid can be expanded without unduly encroaching on other important areas of the budget such as education and transportation. Finally, Delegate Comstock believes a healthy economy with good jobs is the best way to provide people with health care through their employers as well as with tax incentives for individuals and small businesses to make health care more affordable. - See more at: http://www.comstockfordelegate.com/issues/default.aspx#sthash.pvdNxOU8.dpuf
Barbara Comstock wrote to Secretary Seblius in favor of making the birth control pill available over the counter without a prescription.

I am told she was once or is currently a lobbyist for Hollywood, but I don't know who her clients were or are currently.

Christine O'Donnell for Senate: "Delaware Crossing the Washington!"
Christine O'Donnell's primary win in Delaware has thrown establishment Republicans for a loop. Falling all over themselves attacking her, they promise not to support her candidacy despite her stunning win. The National Republican Senatorial Campaign, a group that recently solicited me for cash, won't put any money in O'Donnell's battle. She hasn't got a chance, Republican pundits say, and are busy making sure their prediction of defeat is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Karl Rove, who solicited tea party support last year for establishment nominees, is having a tantrum over O'Donnell's win and engaging in personal attacks. Why? Because the party machine would rather help Democrats win (like Dede Scozzafava did in New York) than work for candidates who actually support the conservative principles outlined in the Republican Party Platform. Jim De Mint, who did endorse O'Donnell, called the attacks "Republican cannibalism." Others have picked up on a comment made that her win represents "Delaware crossing the Washington." The O'Donnell win is a shot across the bow of the Republican establishment's yacht. Two thumbs up for freedom lovers in that tiny state who trounced Castle 53% to 47%. It certainly was no cliffhanger like the tea party win in Alaska when Murkowski, another liberal in Republican clothing, fell to Joe Miller, a little known lawyer from Fairbanks.
Let's take a look at Mike Castle, the career Republican defeated by O'Donnell, who is so beloved by the Republican establishment. He's pro-abortion, pro-gun control, boasts of increasing school-based health clinics (notorious for promoting contraception and abortion), favors embryonic stem cell research, opposed restricting the transportation of minors across state lines for an abortion, voted against banning abortion in foreign aid funding, supports gay rights. Need I go on? What exactly is "moderate" about this man? It would clearly be better to have an open Democrat in the seat than this RINO who would be working to expand his "moderate" positions for bi-partisan agreement with his anti-life comrades across the aisle.
Now let's take a look at Christine O'Donnell, the candidate the Republican establishment is calling a "nut." She's pro-life across the board and pro-family, an unapologetic Christian. She opposes gun control and favors control of our borders. She opposes pornography and has called masturbation "a sin." O'Donnell is a pro-abstinence Catholic and a fiscal conservative.
As a voter, who do you resemble more - Mike Castle or Christine O'Donnell? The fact that this traditional young woman is being attacked as a "nut job," not only by Democrats but by Republicans, shows exactly how out of touch they are with the American people. Christine O'Donnell looks like me and many of the voters I know. She is a common sense, principled conservative who believes morality matters. That's why she's such a threat to the hill where morality equals pragmatism, where the most important issue is reelection.
The Republican establisment says nominating conservatives is useless if they can't win in November. They quit before they begin. And they are patently wrong! The only way to change the Republican party is to refuse to nominate their "moderates" who often favor positions that would have horrified voters in the 1950s. Is a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage Republican any good to us? No. It just gives us one more vote for Planned Parenthood and homosexual rights. Principles are important and fundamental principles cannot be compromised. And if it takes some election losses to get that message to the Republican pharisees, so be it. If they want to win, they will learn to back conservatives.
