Well said!
Even with all the emotion we need to stay together. If we start looking fractured the bad guys win!

I could have told you that when Arlen Spectre weaseled his way into the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee. He did it with a wink-and-nod from the entrenched politicians in Washington while the grassroots effort had to bear nearly the entire burden of campaigning against him in that role.
So, while we sing the praises of our majority Congress, we've accomplished nothing. We can't even keep partial birth abortion banned. Heck, we whimped out the marriage ammendment, too.
I just don't see how defending the ineffectual serves the conservative cause.
