We simply cannot let a single issue - even one as important as abortion - divide us.

So you're fine with winning elections at the expense of the very LIVES of millions of innocents?

The support of murder tells me more about the true nature of an individual than anything else. Why should I care that "Bob" supports smaller gov't if "Bob" is okay with the most innocent and vulnerable amongst us suffering horrific, gruesome deaths?

I will NEVER knowingly support murder. The Right to Life is the most fundamental of all rights. Without it we have nothing else.

We need to be a big tent or we don't have any chance at all.

The "Big Tent" concept has gotten us exactly where we are today. The Big Tent is the problem, not the solution. That concept has allowed anyone, regardless of voting record, who felt it more politically expedient to attach an R rather than a D to his or her name, into this party. They have destroyed it from within. Letting more of them in won't fix it!

Right on, Zach.

Some "conservatives" will sacrifice anything to elect someone with an "R" after their name.

I swear they'd support Obama if he switched parties. Throw away the big tent, starve the RNC, and start nominating and $upporting conservatives.

No, I do not support murder. I am a member of the National Right to Life.

The last election, as you will recall, was one of Obama (who wants to kill babies even after they are born) against McCain (who is prolife). Many Conservatives did not vote for McCain because he is a RINO. Fine - I am glad they stood by their "principles" at the expense of our country. That was my point. The time for a vote on principles is at the primary level. At the national level, you have GOT to vote party. Period.

Well said.
