"If you insist that abortion should be outlawed completely, and homosexuality, too, and insist on making these positions a litmust test for candidates, you're going to lose."

Don't confuse these issues with Constititutional conservatism, and do not put me in the camp with conservatives who seek power so that they can legislate morality. The issues supported by RINO's that are of concern to Constitutional conservatives are things like prescription drug benefits for seniors, steel tariffs and trade embargoes with Canadians, deficit spending, expanding spending on education while not tying it to or worse abandoning school vouchers, growing government rather than shrinking it, new regulations instead of throwing out prior executive orders and rediculous regulations. There is an almost endless list.

Republicans need to do what is right, now what is politically popular. Winning elections is important if and only if, you use the power correctly to do the right thing. America is running out of time before it starts to go bankrupt, which it is on tract to do before 2016. If we don't fix the problems, it won't matter who is in charge because it will simply be re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. And like the Titanic, there aren't enough life boats on our ship. Even if there are enough life jackets, and there aren't, the water is still too cold to survive.

There is an almost endless list.

Exactly. We all have almost endless lists of things we'd like to see government do, or not do. But, as Republicans, what's important is getting Republicans elected, even if you don't agree with any particular candidate 100%.

The worst Republican is light years better than the best Democrat.

BTW, I disagree 100% that the US will "go bankrupt" in 2016. If you mean social security, those "nasty" "job-stealing" immigrants are going to be our saving grace.

I wish FR had an edit function, because I need to explain WHY "the worst Republican is light years better than the best Democrat." We need Republican majorities in the legislatures to pass better laws, and we need Republican governors and Presidents to sign them into law and administer them.

We can't let the likes of Bill and Hillary take power again. If it hadn't been for H. Ross Perot, Bush I would have been re-elected.

I know a lot of people didn't like Bush I, but surely eight years of Bill and Hill were enough to teach them their lesson?

Sure taught me a lesson. Never give up.
