Re: "Only if you've given up. If you an ounce of hope of stopping the train you want it to be slow."

Not true. An express has a better chance of derailment, and may take out a few of the Nazis with it.

Re: "Exacly. You've given up. You've quit. You've surrendered. It's hopeless. Oh woe is me, oh woe is me."

I feel no such woe, are you projecting? Just who is giving up? I have new hope, I am angry but at least I have hope there will be change. I hope the GOP will do something between now and 2006, or I hope a loss will wake them up in time for 2008. If all else fails I hope a third party will arise and replace one or both parties. Where I despair in hope is that people like your self will exert any pressure on the GOP leadership, you only seem interested in pressuring me. Now that is hopeless.

I'm not pressuring you, I'm just trying to figure out where you are coming from. You say you're not going to vote for ANY Pubs then say you hope the GOP changes between now and 2006. How to do you propose to pressure them if they've already lost your vote?

You want to pressure a particular candidate or seek to have a strategy to advance a cause, fine. Let me know and I might sign on.

The goal is not to save the Pubs but to inculcate a culture of life, and political activism is only a part of it -- and not the most important part.

But to hold a grudge or seek to punish is unwise.

Further, electing moderates is not necessarily unproductive. These people have their finger in the air. Kennedy, Gephardt & Daschle all started as pro-lifers. The culture in general led by big media gave them the cover to show their insincerity.

If the culture changes you'll start seeing the moderates going the other way.

Which means that those of us who want to advance the pro-life cause have to change the culture and get rid of the die-hard pro-deathers, not the moderates.
