Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Fri Mar 16 13:05:02 2007, in response to Re: Kucinich rips Dems who cancelled on the FOX News debate, posted by italianstallion on Fri Mar 16 00:30:21 2007. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Casey Because he considered abortion a key social issue for the 1992 presidential election, Casey sought a speaking slot to give a minority plank on the topic at the 1992 Democratic National Convention. He was not given a speaking spot[5] and in a series of news conferences he said the party was censoring his pro-life views.[6] Convention organizers said that Casey was not denied a spot because of his views on abortion, but because they wanted speakers to have endorsed Bill Clinton ahead of time, which Casey had not done.[7][8] After the convention, Casey went on vacation rather than campaign for Clinton in Pennsylvania, which was a key swing state. However, he told the New York Times, "I support the ticket. Period."[9] Although several pro-life Democrats did speak at the convention, they did not focus their remarks on their opposition to abortion, and the issue was not debated the way Casey had wanted.[8] No pro-life Democrat ever mentioned their opposition to abortion in any speech they gave at the '92 DNC. If you want to assert that this was purely coincidential and that they could have had they chosen to, feel free. You will be ridiculed by anyone with more than three brain cells, but no one will deny you that right. |
