"cause otherwise you can't get their votes.
And just how many Democrat voters are you going to find to make up the deficiency?
I"d think giving up the baby killing thing would be very easy to do IF you are really serious about politics and want to win. (not to be all that cynical, but good gosh "fiscal soundness' requires we have a constant, steady supply of new citizens).
I think our Republic would be better served if instead of demanding that the tea party movement be lock-step unified over abortion and gays, and beating people about the head with the phrase “baby killing”, conservatives instead talked about the Constitution, the original intent of the founders, federalism, and the proper role of judges. We need to overturn Roe v. Wade but we also need to ditch Social Security and a lot of other New Deal and Great Society garbage. If we focus on the tactics of the leftists (i.e. judicial activism) rather than any specific results (e.g. mandatory legal abortion) we are striking at the real root of the problem and doing so in a way that allows us to pitch a big tent and get the numbers necessary to accomplish our goals.
On the other hand we can just stand outside on street corners waving placards with graphic photos of aborted fetuses and scream at people that we are first and foremost opposed to “baby killing”.
Again, Obama, the leftists, and Satan are hoping that we define ourselves with that second approach rather than the first.
