Let me help, you see I am having a little trouble understanding the direction the GOP is heading these days, so maybe it will be useful to talk things out.

The way I see it is the GOP is full of statesmen (cough, ack) who truly believe abortion is a horrible fact of our modern life. In addition they "believe" something must be done about and soon, alas abortion is just one of many troubling issues facing our nation. They support the prolife position 110% as long as it does not interfere with the agenda of other issues of equal or greater urgency, such as:

The war on terror
The war in Iraq
The Patriot Act
Lower Taxes
Less government control
The Economy
Jobs
Unemployment
Job Training
More corporate welfare
ANWAR
Free trade
Tariffs for steel
Renewal sources for energy
making money
spending money
lower gas prices
higher profits for oil products
education
higher education
highest education
NAFTA
cheap Mexican labor
saving social security
funneling SS $ to stock brokers
making more money
Expanding the GOP base
more GOP senators
more Republicans in the House
More GOP power
Tort reform
undermining organized labor with illegals
making still more money
gaining still more power
pork
getting reelected
more pork
Job security for politicians
a lot more pork
more power
more money
pet projects
power
money
pork
the UN
undermining the UN
working within the framework of the UN
reforming the UN
Allies
telling our allies to kiss our behind
more money
more pork
more power
reelection.

I mean we have to have our priorities. Abortion is on the list. We must trust them they will get to it when it is politically correct. There is a strategy to this and all the caterwauling just isn't helpful.

So shut up and sit in front of the TV with your bag of Cheeto's and let the big boys handle this. They will let you know when it is time to get off your a$$ and vote because you know the alternative will be horrible and if the demoncrats get back in charge abortion will never end. The GOP has it on their list right behind these other grave issues. Besides they only have 55 in the Senate and those 45 other seats will have to be won before anything meaningful can be done anyway. You know how it is.

Oh yes don't forget the campaign in 06, I am sure they are taking donations now. Watch out for them mean ol' democrats. They eat aborted fetus for breakfast.
