So with all your ranting about issues surrounding life, and the implication with your holier-than-thou attitude that you are superior to Schwarzenegger supporters, are you one of those that hope Bustanmante wins if McClintock can't, so Californians can suffer under the yoke of Bustamante in order to see your point and finally vote your way in 2006?

I may have ranted about something today, but it wasn't this, thank you. I don't claim to be superior to anyone, being a Christian.

To answer your question, it is empowering to one's principles to vote on one's principles. It is destructive of principles to exhalt other issues over them. If one realizes this, the rest is not worth considering. That being the case, the answer to your question is, no.

"it is empowering to one's principles to vote on one's principles"


that is a self deception.
it does NOT empower you to lose, because whenever you do, the principles you held dearly, do not advance one iota...

You are tuning up to sing yet another stanza of the losers song sister.
Of course, I stand behind your right lose on principle... but to say it is "empowering" to you or will save even one baby... is deception.

You can influence direction of things, when you are in the party that wins... and none other.

So, just go ahead, and stay home when your man drops out next week or vote for him anyway and LOSE on principle... I am sure the Good Lord will be pleased that we (once again) made a failing stand on alleged principle and have thus guaranteed NO lives will be saved as a result. Brilliant.

You guys are too much. You act as if your crowd alone is the "lone voice in the wilderness crying 'make way for the Lord'!" but you end up being an isolated, powerless, bunch of self-disenfranchised kooks. This is because you stubbornly refuse to effect a seventy percent change in policy, because you might have to compromise thirty percent to get any desired movment...

Who wants to empower a bunch of pathetic losers as they refuse to compromise and then whine about the loss of their place at the table all for their "holy religious convictions"?
I hate abortion... and want progress made... but the all or noners "and I want it all NOW" are just as much a hindrance to moving towards life as the NOW is in keeping us stagnated in death.

I have to say: "So be it... But YOU could have made a difference, had you learned to make your moves to the right side of the road, in smaller steps...

All or none... usually gets you NONE...

If you don't believe it, call William "The Gambler" Bennett... he's been to Vegas and can explain the principles of losing it all, for risking it all.
