And what we are saying is that the GOP ought to remain on that side and work to actually advance that agenda

And what makes you think they are not? Just because they aren't talking about it 24/7?

And as far as Roe v. Wade, I have my doubts about whether it will be repealed -- ever; and even if it were to be appealed today, states have the right to make their own laws; abortion will never go away.

You should expend as much time changing the hearts of women as you do trashing the GOP. Or maybe even more.

"And what makes you think they are not?"

Specter and his remarks on the day after the election.

"You should expend as much time changing the hearts of women as you do trashing the GOP."

Since you don't know me, you have no clue what I do. What you must do is show me where I spent any time "trashing the GOP", or retract that claim. (Or be branded as one who will lie about other people in cheap attempts to score meaningless points.)

Dammit! When are YOU going to stick with the Republican Platform?!

The platform opposes same-sex marriage INCLUDING same-sex "civil unions" (same thing). Yet, in the thread you've posted defending civil unions.

The platform even opposes Roe v. Wade (what do you think the human life amendment would do?) yet you aren't supporting overturning it.

If you and George Bush and the Republican Party would just stick with what is in the damned platform, we'd all be a whole lot better off.
