Ahhh, should have Googled. It's Friday and I'm lazy.
Don't go blaming it on Friday. And as far as abortion goes, that's one big reason I won't support Romney or Guiliani.
However, unless and until WE THE PEOPLE vote them OUT of office and put in people more representative of those views, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
If there wasn't a 95% reelection rate to Congress, maybe we'd see some change. Is it worth shaking up the party to possibly make it stronger and more conservative in the long run? Sure--but you also run the risk of marginalizing the party. Yeah, it'd be nice to have a party where everyone adhered to conservative principles, but that would also be a party that never drew more than 20-30 percent nationally. Sorry, but it's a fact of life that it takes all sorts to make the world go round.

Sorry, but it's a fact of life that it takes all sorts to make the world go round.I hear ya on that. But hear me out. There is an untapped market of young voters who are looking for a candidate who is trendy amongst that demographic. They can either go with someone like Kucinich or Obama and be indoctrinated with socialist domestic positions, or they can go with Paul and hear for probably the first time in their lives things like logical pro-life arguments, the case for small government, and why the 2nd Amendment is just as important as any other one. Having Paul around is a net plus.
