Which is my point exactly.

What we have been doing IS NOT WORKING.

Even RR and Helms could not get a RTL amendment passed.

Nor has a marriage amendment.

BUT, in the meantime government becomes more enormous, our bureaucracies are stacked with more and more liberals, who STAY decade upon decade.

And more and more Americans are turning to government for every need, want, grievance, whether real or perceived. Our public schools remain cess pools of propaganda, K-12.

IMO, more work should concentrate in the state and local level to educate grass roots. Electing state and local governments to our liking is easier and will be our political strength to force the hands of the Fed. Our obsession now with “calling DC” is not working.

Our President in 08 must be a CIC, this is reality, and he must be ruthless and cunning, in dealing with the UnAmerican Democrat Party, the MSM, and with Federal Bureaucracies of the State Dept, the CIA, and domestic depts.

No new tone, no speaking of bipartisanship or uniting or working together.

Only the tone and attitude of defeat of our enemies, here and abroad.

I’m not a Huck supporter but I do sympathize with the evangelical vote because the issues they care about are still there after 3 decades. I think Evangelicals want a well rounded, not bloated, candidate that can be strong on National Defense and fight for their domestic causes. The MSM pushing for a Rudy really ticked off the evangelicals to a point where they are saying that if the GOP abandons them they will ruin the GOP. I agree with you 100%, NO NEW TONE!

American history is littered with amendments that have been "passed" but not ratified.

Amendments to the Constitution must be ratified by THREE FOURTHS of all the states to become the supreme law of the land.

Can a single evangelical out there supply the list of three fourths of all states in the United States of America in 2008 that would ratify EITHER a Right to Life Amendment OR a Right to Abortion Amendment?

Anybody?

The only way to realistically change the status of abortion in the U.S., is to appoint "original intent" Justices to the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade and have matters not mentioned in the Constitution be under the jurisdiction of the States as the Tenth Amendment states they are.

But, as some have said on this thread, they "don't care".

They would rather sabotage the elections, put a Hillary or Obama in the White House who will fill Supreme Court vacancies with Ruth Ginsburg clones and keep abortion legal in all 50 states for decades to come just so they can brag about how uncompromisingly holy they are.
