What these self appointed spokesmen of the Christian Right are demanding is veto power over the choice of the party members. They are too arrogant and too lazy to actually go FIGHT for what they believe, they simply want the right to IMPOSE it on everyone else.

That is not how our Constitutional Republic works. They should be smart enough to realize that 70% of something is WAY better then 100% of what they CLAIM to oppose being imposed on them.

Elections are won by coalitions of interests, not the most dogmatically pure. Reagan era Republicans understood this. The Talk Radio Republicans continually whine about that fundamental political reality.

Uh working to make sure that a liberal is not nominated by the GOP is FIGHTING for what we believe.

If Rooty Toot was 70% acceptable we wouldn't be having this conversation. There is no real difference between Rooty and Hitler on ANY issue.

A few months ago, you were DEMANDING that I, and every pro lifer here, jump on the Rudy Toot bandwagon or be made “irreverent”.

You and many other tried to impose your values on us.

We are trying to defend our interests. But there comes a time when you realize you have to make a stand. Often times, we on this site wonder why the African Americans stay with the DNC, when they have done nothing to help them.

What is happening now is that the conservatives are starting to wonder just what the heck the GOP leadership is trying to do. We had control of the White House, Congress, and many of the states for SIX YEARS and NOTHING was done. Yes, we launched two wars, but at even that few in the GOP hierarchy really see the need to try to articulate or defend the war.
