What do I mean by moral issues? I think it's pretty clear the moral issues we've been talking about here, abortions, gay rights, gun rights, etc. I would also include the kind of judges Rudy would pick because I don't believe Rudy will appoint strict constitutionalist judges just because he says he will.

Rather than saying it in my own words, let me quote Jim Robinson since his comments best answer your question of what I mean by moral issues.

"And I am 100% opposed to removing the pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, or freedom of religion planks from the conservative platform to accommodate a social liberal, even if he does have glittering star power. I oppose giving up on conservative values. I oppose Arnoldizing the presidency. It's not working for California and will not work for America."

And another quote by Jim Robinson that best describes what I mean by moral issues.

"I humbly submit my understanding of what a social conservative believes: 1. R v W is bad law. Its based on a lie. It should should be overturned and abortion law should be returned to the states. 2. Homosexuals should have equal rights under the law. They should not have special rights. Marriage, by definition, can only exist between a man and a woman. 3. Cultural traditions should be honored, or at a minimum not outlawed. The banning of Christmas music and indeed any mention of Christianity in public is an absurd misreading of our constitution. I think that's it. If the fiscal conservatives here have a difficult time understanding these few positions then we're doooooooomed. But I don't think they will."

I could have said it in my own words, but I couldn't have said it as good as Jim.

Next question please.

Yes and yes. Our coalition can unite over that.

But what about when all 50 states legalize abortion?

Are you a revolutionary, or a republican?

That's the question which is hanging us up.
