yeah but its the ones that are screaming they won't ever come back to the GOP...

some of them actually mean it. If the elections are close that may make a difference....

Not true, I would come back to the GOP in a heart beat if they impeached a judge, even a loosing impeachment of a Supreme Court Justice would serve notice to the pack. And there are lots of other options that would not require a single Demoncrat vote, hearings, budget and benefit cuts, redistricting the Courts and they (the Courts) can do nothing about those and a 50% plus one is all they need to win. They have that if the GOP wants it. They don't so they can drive the nation to Auschwitz it without me.

I would not totally abandon the party, only some of its players. I will look much more closely at those running in primaries and vote for the people who will protect life in this country, regardless of party affiliation. I would rather have a Zell Miller Democrat than a Susan Collins Republican.

We have a Democratic Senator up for election in Michigan in 2006 and I will pay close attention to those running against her. I know for sure that she doesn't defend life.
