What it means is what it means. People who say, "I will abandon the GOP and hope it dies/help kill it because it doesn't vote for/against 'x' are exactly the same as the people in 1824 who abandoned the Jeffersonian Republicans to create a better, "more pure" party. That would be the Dems. We see where that got us.

So will I abandon Bush if he signs this? No. That would be stupid. On the other hand, if someone else equally strong on national defense, pro-life, and OPPOSED to this stupid bill comes along, then I would certainly shift my support to that person, all things being equal. But I will not cut off my nose to spite my face. Bad as this law is, it is (if it passes) mere statute law and could be repealed or destroyed as easily as we ended welfare.
