I understand. I do think, however, that we have to be pragmatic to some extent. As an analogy, it is obviously best not to get sick at all, but if you are going to get sick it is better to have a cold than to have cancer. The same is true in politics.

I think we need to have a short term plan for getting a Republican elected and preventing a HIllary or Edwards or Obama etc. victory, and then a longer term plan for promoting change in the country and getting better candidates for public office. Compromise is sometimes absolutely necessary. Rudy may not be your ideal candidate, but if he can win and believes in more of what you believe in than does Hillary etc., then he is a better choice for you. Ultimately I think one of the most important issues that most of us agree on here at FR is preservation of the individual. I think every person has a unique contribution to make to the world, and I don't want that abrogated by policies that push 'group think' (i.e. socialism and communism).

Congruent with your passion about the unborn, every child in the world is unique, and each has a unique contribution to make. That, to me, is one of the most important aspects of FREEDOM, the preservation of the individual and their right to make their own unique contributions to the world. People with huge egos, like Hillary, do not defend the individuality of others, because the rest of us are just props in their narcissistic passion play. Hillary wants to be personally responsible for 'saving the world', and will sacrifice the sanctity of the rest of us in the process.
