I was delighted to see that Ronald Reagan's son Michael agrees with you!
And so does Rep. Sessions (98% lifetime conservative voting record).
And so do a host of other people.
But hey, if the party wants to throw itself off a cliff for abortion, guns and gays, I say we sit back and watch the party.
Howard Dean agrees with you.
It is exactly what he did in promoting all his DINOs.
DINOs trumped all RINOs.
The fact is that God, Guns, and "gays" ARE the mainstream issues.
It is the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that is the core of the consititution.
The WOT is a war by a RELIGION on the United States. The Rudy-bot effort to compartmentalize is doomed to fail. Howard Dead and Rom Emmanuel learned the lesson when the recruited the DINOs.
