While I agree wholeheartedly with the feeling and intent of your message, please think for a moment about the potential consequences of your warning: If we simply sit out an election in protest, we contribute to the win of Liberals. This means only MORE abortion, in addition to the rest. Yes, we need to pressure them, but sitting out an election will accomplish nothing. Vote, and vote for those who support your ideas. If the existing elected servants won't do the job, vote for somebody else next time.

Not voting is exactly the same as a vote for the winner.

What if the GOP had reverted to lip service for votes??

In the not so distant future, the possibility exists, it appears, that we could be talking candidly about how GOP smokescreens were set up to create the appearance of being pro-life, whilst holding a King Arlen up their sleeve.

Unless the GOP's highest leadership is in the habit of 'midguiding' prominent national Christians during the campaign...

All what ifs at this point - but remember how clever the Rove GOP (think Alberto Gonzalez) was regarding CFR! /s

For the record:

Freeper Vicomte13 wrote the article. It's in the heading of the thread where the author's name always goes.

And I pinged Vicomte13 in the first post, stating: "Outstanding Job! It needed to be said, and the pols in DC need to hear it and internalize it."

I appreciate your concerns, truly. But if you read his article carefully and his several follow-up posts you will see the wisdom of his WARNING:

Toward the end of the article:

"This is called "Chicken". It is called a "Mexican Standoff". And since we are fired up by the certitude that we are doing God's work in defending babies, we cannot be bought, and you cannot win so much as an election for dog catcher in this country without us. "
