I use Ronald Reagan to define modern Conservativism. He hated abortion and intensified the drug war more than any other president. He was not a libertarian.
But Reagan used Goldwater to define modern conservatism, so I just go straight to the source.
Rhode Island is 60% Catholic - they should know better!
Oddly enough Rhode Island has one pro-life Democrat congressman. One out of two.
So I don't think Laffey's pro-life stance is a deal breaker but it's also one of the states Kerry did best in.
It's very odd.

I still do.
