I'd crawl on my knees over broken glass to pull the lever for a Republican to keep these evil monsters (Democrats) away from the levers of power.
If you're talking about Olympia Snowe or Judy Barr Topinka the problem becomes somewhat less simple.
L
Amen.
While we both might have difficulty crawling, Jim, I agree with the sentiment. The best action taken by President Bush has been the nomination of John Roberts and Samuel Alito. I applaud him for the courage and determination it took to choose and support two such sterling men to such important positions.
I hear ya Abortion is the *only* thing that even keeps me thinking republican (though sometimes I will just vote for a different pro life candidate for other reasons)
With a republican controlled house, senate, whitehouse, and a court appointed mostly by republicans the fact abortion is an issue getting only political lip service in this election year makes me wonder if they (the republicans) do want to fix it and see it go away as an issue..
One more election cycle, I am rapidly losing patients..
I'm with you, Jim.
I would too as long as it was a conservative Republican.
"I'd crawl on my knees over broken glass to pull the lever for a Republican to keep these evil monsters (Democrats) away from the levers of power."
Well worth repeating...wish I could put it on billboards.
Amen, Jim.
"I'd crawl on my knees over broken glass to pull the lever for a Republican to keep these evil monsters (Democrats) away from the levers of power."
Conservatives have made a big strategic mistake in tying conservatism's future solely to that of the GOP. Both Houses of Congress, the Presidency, and most appointments to the Supreme Court have been made by Republican Presidents. Most state legislatures and most Governorships are controlled by the GOP.
And what has been the ultimate result of GOP control from the point of view of conservatism? Perhaps I've missed the news stories where the Federal budget was balanced, the size of government was limited, and the total tax burden on the populace was significantly reduced.
But I digress. The topic of this thread was eugenics and abortion. Despite years of GOP control at virtually level of government, abortion is still readily available and legal throughout the U.S. Euthanasia is being practiced, albeit in limited numbers.
I'm pleased to note that abortion, at least in numerical terms, is being reduced in the U.S. (Thanks be to God!) But that has little if anything to do with what is happening in the political sphere. Women are simply choosing not to practice infanticide.
At a certain point, you have to judge the value of a political party on what they have actually accomplished or are likely to accomplish. So with all deference and respect, I'm missing why conservatives should pull a GOP lever in the next election, let alone crawl to do so.
A far better alternative in my view is to do what we should have been doing 10 years ago: hedging our bets. Preserve and expand the small cadre of conservative Democrats that have acted as a counterweight to the radical left within the Democratic party. But we haven't done that, and we probably won't at this juncture.
Me too, Jim. It is disgusting to read some of the crap posted here by "conservatives" which assists the Party of Treason in its efforts to regain power.
