Perhaps, but I appreciate all their votes in our elections. For the obvious example, someone who is conservative on every single issue except abortion should not be rejected by our party. Or any other single issue for that matter. Fundamental fairness means the more conservative majority opinion prevails in party politics. However, we still respect differing opinions and we continue to work together on all the issues we agree upon.

I am forced to agree with you, even though I am firmly pro-life in regards to abortion. I consider myself a staunch conservative and loyal Republican, even though I do not generally support capital punishment. I don't feel strongly enough about my non-support to join candlelight vigils or anything, but it's still at variance with the platform.

We got all bent out of shape, and rightly so, at the "moderates" who cut the deal last week on judges. We wouldn't even call them Republicans.

However, those "pro-choice" moderates cast votes FOR a Conservative (presumably pro-life) judge, and it made the difference in the confirmation tally.
