Cuomo Nominates Clinton 1992 - Part 2

Back


Part 2 of 4. Mario Cuomo gives an amazing speech at the 1992 Democratic National Convention. In nominating Bill Clinton, he also laid down the party platform (which many Democrats seem to forget these days). This speech is even more relevant today.

The great Mario could have given this speech yesterday.
He should have been president. Vote Obama/Biden, I know Mario will.

It's amazing hearing actual progressive social policy from sixteen years ago. What Cuomo is saying is simple economic truth. This is the truth. I'm afraid that poverty in America is now permanently off the table.

Cuomo remains the greatest American orator since perhaps William Jennings Bryan and perhaps in all American history. He is the absolute master of the art.

We need him to speak at the 2008 DNC because even though he's talking about big Bush it sounds like he's talking about (now) president Bush; which means that both of them are one in the same. We need Barack Obama to bounce our economy back.

If you actually believed abortion was murder, you are an evil, morally weak person.

If you truly believed that millions of innocent people were being murdered, it would be your obligation to do anything in your power to blow up the nearest clinic, and would be willing to face prison.

"Pro-lifers" don't actually believe abortion is murder. It's just part of their angry rhetoric which is driven by their desire to control people's sex lives and reproductive decisions.

I have no desire to control people's sex lives. You abortionists use clever euphemisms like "reproductive decisions" to cover up what you are doing. Take a good hard look at an aborted baby and then claim it isn't a baby. The abortion mafia loves it when people blow up clinics because it helps them to raise even more millions of dollars to kill more babies, thats why it wouldn't help to blow up the nearest clinic. Do you know that people have actually survived abortions?

Well I am British, not American, so you show me the examples of states that allow abortions at 7 months. FTR, I don't believe there should be at that stage, unless there is a medical need.

In the UK, the test is whether the foetus has any kind of decent chance of surviving outside the womb, and we've just had another debate in parliament about whether to ban (the v small number) of abortions between 20 and 24 weeks. It was decided not, because the foetus's chances of survival are so low.

States are allowed to regulate abortions after the the first trimester except in cases of "health". The thing is that "health" can be and is interpreted so broadly that the baby can be aborted at ANY stage of the pregnancy. We have therefore throughout the USA - abortion on demand. There are abortion doctors who specialize in late term abortions.
MjoEm32 (July 24, 2008 at 8:39 am)
Well I obviously don't agree with such late-term abortions on a whim - though as you admit there are genuine cases where late-term abortions are reasonable, since there is a genuine threat to the mother's health. I frankly think it would be a lot better if the US had passed abortion through a legislative process, not by Supreme Court judgment - but that's to get into a whole other debate. Presumably therefore you are not against abortion per se?
jimfarrowlove (July 25, 2008 at 9:41 pm)
I am not against abortions per se. Abortion has always been a reasonable, albeit unfortunate, choice when the mothers health is truly at risk. But that is the only time that abortion is reasonable that I can think of. Otherwise the "choice" that the woman has is not to get pregnant in the first place (not including those pregnancies that occur because of rape of course).
