President Bush was elected by tens of millions of social conservatives, and his #1 priority must be nominating, and seeing confirmed, judges who will overturn Roe vs. Wade.

This is what totally pisses me off. I followed this election as close as anyone on this forum if not more. This election, as Morris says, was about safety and terrorism. The morality issue was gay marriage. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT ABORTION. And to hijack it now and make this the line in the sand is outrageous. You're out and out lying. That's what liberals do, not us. You feel strong about this issue, fine. Go do what you have to do. But don't bring me into it and the millions of others who voted for Bush because of his stand on fighting terrorism.

Social conservatives are the base, and the mandate is ours.

The rather loud minority of several thousand people who voted for the President despite being social liberals are irrelelevant and need to get out of the way.

The election was absolutely about abortion, in tandem with other social issues. Any other consideration is secondary.

By the way, anyone who isn't pro-life isn't conservative, and should exit the GOP ASAP.

By the way, you're agreeing with a twenty-year Clinton operative. What does that tell you?

Not according to the exit polls that found "values" as the top-ranking issue.
