There's more to being a Republican/conservative than being pro-WOT. I'm certainly not what one would classify the "religious right". I think prostitution should be legal, favor ending the federal drug war, and don't really care one way or the other about gays marrying. However, I cannot fathom how one could be cognizant of the facts of this case and still favor starving Terri to death. If one were to make a case for euthanasia legalization, while I would not agree with it, I could at least respect it as a logical argument. But as a human being, I am at a loss to understand the pro-death contingent.
Calling those of us who do not agree with the way this thing has gone "a pro-death contingent" is a perfect example of what I was talking about. You've chosen to label people into a neat little box.
Many's the time I've shaken my head to find myself on the same side as robertpaulsen in this. But, that's where the evidence and facts have led me. I also quite clearly see the overall damage this WILL do to my party.
Debate if you want, but I'll no more respond to the "pro-death" crap in this instance than I would if RP called me a drug addict because I do not support the WOD, either.
