"I don't think it is good for the country to drive pro lifers and 2nd Amendment supporters from the Republican Party."

Oh Jes*s Chr*st, not this SHale again. The GOP has a primary. The motivated vote. The delegates select a nominee.

No one is driving anyone from the party.

It is the 'my way or the highway' crowd that is threatening to in effect 'bolt the party' by staying home on election day or voting for some third party no-name candidate if their candidate doesn't win the nomination.

That's called throwing a tantrum. Or wanting to enforce a diktat on the GOP (litmus test, call it what it will).

Fortunately we have a democratic process. What will be will be, but calling people names and making threats is no way to win friends and influence people.

I will be voting for whoever the GOP nominates because the alternative is to help elect - through direct vote or by withholding my vote - the candidate from h*ll. A lot of good your principles will do when she shuts down sites like this and talk radio via the (UN)'Fairness Doctrine', outlaws homeschooling and cracks down on religious people's right to associate freely for the purpose of effecting change.

But you keep saying that there's no difference between Giuliani and Hitlary.

Have you seen the video montage of Rudy silently praying, and mouthing the words, barely keeping his composure, through tears at funeral after funeral post 9/11?

And THAT is the man who is exposed to the kinds of insults we have seen thrown around here of late?

Its disgusting. But you don't hear me threatening to stay home if someone other than Rudy gets the nomination. I'll walk over burning hot coals and crawl over broken glass to defeat satan in a pantsuit.

Some other around here would rather burn down the house instead and ensure her victory.

Well, I know one thing: whatever happens in 2008, MY conscience will be clear.

Every single time the Republican vote splits, conservatism loses, and the price paid is huge.

In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt's supporters wanted Taft out - they didn't succeed, so they took the "my way or the highway" route and he ran as the "Bull Moose" candidate. This let Woodrow Wilson in, who bequeathed us the League of Nations; this silly, preposterous idea is still alive in the guise of the United Nations, and we cannot seem to get rid of it.

In 1992, a good number of Republicans voted for the freak with big ears. The result was Bill Clinton. Here we are, 15 years later, dealing with the fallout of that still - Hillary is closer to the Oval Office than she should be.

It's worth keeping this history in mind before anyone storms off.

I am fighting in the Primary for what I believe in. There is nothing wrong with that. If I don't fight for what I believe in, then I do not have a clear conscience. Hillaryous does not fear me. The only thing that could elect Hillaryous, Hussein, or any other Goreish candidate is a bad economy.

I don't believe we are going to elect any of the above while we are at war in the ME. I may be wrong, but I am standing for what I believe in.

Apparently, true Conservatives are the only ones left who will stand with the unborn and the 2nd Amendment. To me, anyone who wants to kill the unborn and take my gun is Satan. No matter if they call them self a Demorat or Republican, they are not on my side.

I never said that I would cut my nose off to spite my face. I will close ranks when times comes, but this is the Primary election. I don't have to support a liberal Republican, because I fear Hillaryous Clinton (and I don't fear her at all, she is beatable).

One more thing:

We are Republicans. The last I knew, we fought for the babies right to breath air. Maybe not clean air, but air baby. We are Republicans. We fight for the RKBA. If this Party does not want to do this, then this Party may not be for me. These are very important issues to me. I will not just walk away from these two issues.
