Remember, too, that the thriving Whig Party of the early 19th Century eventually found its demise, in part because it couldn't take up the cause of abolition.

Alan Keyes tried this with abortion and he couldn't even get 30% of the vote. Arlen Specter actually got elected in a democratic state because he mirrors the views of his state. It would be best if you guys leave though - just do it in a public manner so others can take your place.

Dear JeffAtlanta,

Alan Keyes has more flaws as a candidate than I can count.

Having met the man on several occasions, I can vouch that in person, he is one of the most charming, intelligent, articulate, and voluble men I've ever met.

And one of the men least suited for elective office I've ever met.

As well, I haven't suggested that the Republican Party pronounce a legislative agenda 1) stripping jurisdiction from the courts over abortion and then 2) announcing legislation to ban every single abortion in America forthwith.

I've merely shown that the next intermediate step in recovering respect for and recognition of the right to life is to bring about the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Which is a very, very moderate position, in all.
