[Jim Robinson]

The party either stands for life and liberty or it doesn't.

Jim, with all due respect, the "party" doesn't stand for anything. It isn't a top-down organization, it's the loosest of organizations.

Have you met my tagline, BTW?

The party better stand for liberty first. Life issues can and should be creatively legislated at the state level, where they should have remained and where they desperately belong. This is the only way to reduce the amount of abortions...if need be through financial incentives that facilitate women to have their children and then give them up for adoption or changing the definition of when a child is technically born (hence creative legislation).

Someone like Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo is not going to be an advocate for liberty...and, Jim, whether you like it or not, the GOP needs its libertarian leaning folks. The only solution: embracing the 10th amendment -- as Rudi does -- and learning how to deal with the decision of the local people, largely free of the Washington DC leviathan.
