Our vision is a Republican Party that is unified by the basic tenets of fiscal responsibility and personal freedom, but that allows for diverse opinions on social issues by its members.

The first two tenets seem straight-forward. The third is as vague as it can be. If one declares their principles with the implied proviso that they may abandon some of them at any time if they are not consistent with another vaguely stated belief, can one claim to be a principled person?

Perhaps this is an effort for the powerless Rino's to get money from soros and co.

Christie was all FOR Kyoto. Proving her ignorance.

McCain glommed onto her because he claims that global warming is a bigger threat to humanity than terrorism.

Somehow or other the fake phony frauds find each other.

Christie backstabbed the President with her book and McCain backstabbs the President every chance he can get.

He backstabbed the MIAs and he is nothing more than an opportunist....IMO.

Not worthy of our consideration.

I think the third tenet is meant to be vague in a way. There is no question social issues divide Republicans to one degree or another. I'll give Republicans credit for being the party of both sides of the abortion issue and not totally pro-abortion, any time under any circumstances for any reason.

I, for one, would rather have a pro-abortion Republican than a pro-abortion Democrat. At least with pro-abortion Republican's there is still hope of changing minds, and there IS agreement on the other issues so important to all of us.
