A steely determination to win the war on terror is really all that matters for the time being. Let us choose a leader with that quality above all others.

Then when we're well on the way toward winning the truly existential challenge that faces our civilization, we can deal with abortion, gun control, gay rights, overtaxation, judge-made-law and all the other socialist/leftist agenda items that plague our great nation.

Allowing all the issues that hold the Republican base together to be pitched to the curb is the only thing that can destroy the party!

The swing voters don't join the RAT party because of those issues you think we can deal with later. It would be foolish to think you could win anything if you throw away 30-40% of your base.

Baloney. A nebulous war against a method of conflict, a state of mind, or an inanimate object (see "War on Terror," "War on Poverty," "War on Drugs," etc.) is a waste of time and a complete fraud.
