"Ever wonder why Pete Wilson disappeared? "

Ever wonder why Arnold showed up?

"George Bush didn't use the "sanctity of life" rhetoric by accident."

And GWB lifts not finger one to ban abortion. Condi, too, believes in the sanctity of life and, like Bush, wants them to be rare and remarkable in America.

Ever wonder why Arnold showed up?

It probably has something to do with a state that considers Dick Riordan a Republican, I imagine.

And GWB lifts not finger one to ban abortion.

The partial birth abortion ban was more than a finger, but it looks like you still don't get it: the last three Republican presidents have been pro-life--uniformly pro-life--not "mildly pro-choice." That, by itself, is a deal breaker and a coalition breaker. If you squishy moderates want a Republican to save your pocket books, you are going to have to accept the conscience of the party as well.
