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.
