The alternative is not particpating in the political system on the grounds that whatever outcome is chosen by the voters makes no practical difference -- only philosophical debating points are truly at stake.
I don't take that view. I think if the masses of Consertives sit on their hands and do not vote they they are agreeing with the other side.
Thankfully, most I have talked with outside of FR.. are even more determined to vote Republican because our Republican party in Congress..... voted to give her a chance. The Judges.. who many are Republican... in name only, along with the choice of Michael Schiavo have caused the final conclusion.
I for one.. will vote.. I will not only vote... I will make my voice heard. I have always done this in my 45 years and I will continure.... to say I give up... is to give in to the others point of view..... that is throwing in the towel, and I have 2 kids who I want better for them than to give up on our judicial system and the right to vote!!!
Agreed.
That's fine, keep voting Republican and participating. I am just saying that the GOP victories made no difference on a key moral issue here. You might try to vote for some real conservatives in the Republican primaries, if there are any running in your state.
The point you are missing in this is that many of the "conservatives" we've elected are agreeing with the other side.
I have been very harsh concerning Jeb.
I have supported Terri and her family 100%
If they say Jeb let them down, I'll know I was correct. If not, then I will admit that I was wrong.
