It's from Pew Research. And for your information, Michael Barone has the exact same numbers; now, what's your objection to HIM??????

And what's the difference in looking at other articles, as opposed to just ones published by groups who have an agenda, except, of course, that YOU agree with them.

I am pro-life; but I detest one issue voters who constantly DEMAND that their views be put in front of everybody else's "or else."

Here here. Threats are not the way to convince people in this country. This lesson has been demonstrated for us by the liberals time and time again. can anyone say "gay marriage?"

I'm pro-war on terror, pro-social security reform, pro-immigration reform, pro-permanent tax cut, pro-tort reform and pro-life; but I detest multi issue voters who constantly DEMAND that their multiple views be put in front of stopping the holocaust of abortion or even slowing it down. I detest being told to sit in the back of the bus and to shut up. I detest being told that my contributions to the party are only begrudgingly tolerated. I detest being told that I either support the not-so-pro-life candidate of the moment or I'll end up with Hillary Clinton. I detest that my vote is taken for granted. I detest being told by my local GOP party chairman that I can't be the local party's volunteer webmaster (putting up only what the chairman approves) primarily because "some Republicans aren't a pro-life as you are" or that my email address which would not have been published on the website (mormondad@hotmail.com) might offend some Republicans.

If you had read some of my previous posts you will see that I disagreed with the tactic employed by CPforLife as the basis for this thread. However, that doesn't mean that I accept for one instant the treatment that we who wish to defend life receive at the hands of the Party. If it looked much like the Party was actually going to do something about this ongoing holocaust we wouldn't have people like CPforLife so upset.

We're right at the cusp of actually being able to overturn Roe v. Wade yet we're STILL having a discussion of whether we should do it or whether we should let someone like Specter - who holds Roe v. Wade inviolate - to hold one of the most powerful positions in affecting whether it can be overturned. We're not going to have this chance again for at least a decade. Bush's judicial appointments are going to be far reaching. CPforLife actually has somewhat of a point - a warning and less a threat - that if Bush and the Republicans goof this up and somehow we end up with pro-abortion judicial appointments - the simple fact is that the disenfranchised pro-life voter will stay home next time around. Not out of spite, but out of frustration. Whether that means anything to you or the Party is up to you and the Party. You can pretend all you want that you don't need that voting bloc, but you and I both know that you do.
