I find your belief that the GOP will "abandon" it's pro-life commitment to be really strange. We FINALLY have a President who is willing enough, brave enough, and yes, man enough not to care whether the tide of the press or the left (or even his wife) is against him; he affirms his pledge to pro-life as one of the first acts as President, despite the heat he takes, and you think he'll abandon that for the sake of politics? And what is so wrong with going to speak at the HRC? It's not like they were tax collectors or prostitutes, or anything. /sarcasm

What's wrong, exactly, with preaching to those who don't believe?

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

I find it to be based in hard cold reality.

Bush's first pick for VP was Ridge, but pro-life activists help stop that train wreck.

Nonetheless, Ridge was Bush's front runner, and in 1996, Governor Ridge joined other several pro-abortion republican Governors in calling for removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

Only political expediency prevented this RINO from being Bush's VP. Bush had no problem with the fact that Ridge joined lead the call for removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

You are confusing preaching the gospel to sinners with making political alliances with sinners where a quid pro quo is to NOT mention the sinfullness of their agenda.

Men have a much more visceral reaction to the homosexual agenda because we realize the cold hard reality of the brutality that is homosexual sex.

Women think its nice that "two men who love each other are allowed to hug and kiss and have warm fuzzy feelings without being discriminated against."

Sorry, but that ain't the reality of homosexuality.
