The good news about this primary season is the pro abortion rights, pro gay rights, pro illegal alien rights, anti gun rights Rudy Giuliani was soundly rejected by the Republican primary voters!
Hurrah!
As Rudy was being actively promoted by the mass media and the liberal/moderate wing of the Republican party and for many months was billed as the so-called GOP "front runner," this was a great victory for the pro life and liberty conservative wing of the party!
Hurrah!
At least the previously {cough} pro abortion former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was politically astute enough to realize that a pro abortion candidate cannot win the Republican nomination, so, wisely, some say cunningly, adjusted his core bedrock principles accordingly.
Thank God!
Vote as if your life depends upon it!
It does.
Vote to secure the Blessings of Life and Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity!
“Abortion should be a non-issue in presidential politics.”
***On the contrary. The president can set in motion policies and nominees who would save lives. What we saw in debating against the tootyfruityrudybots is that they AGREED with his stance on pro-abortion, and they used this line of argumentation to try to get us to give up due to the “inevitability” of rudy’s election. It is simply a lie.
Is there a GOP candidate left that was never pro abortion?
Bump!
Oh, Jim, why’d ya have to go blow a good opening by throwing a jab at my guy? You had me going and I was with ya but then Whammo right in the gut. Romney is a good family man.
“This election shows that there are different kinds of conservatism, and they may not necessarily agree with each other.”
Exactly.
In the end, what made Ronald Reagan so great was the he was able to hold together the various strains of conservatism. No one has been able to do that since. No one. And, I gotta tell you, there ain’t another Reagan on the horizon.
Though the die hard social conservatives are likely to disagree, the conservative movement in the 1980’s was a lot more libertarian than it is today. The splintering of the conservative movement has actually been a long time coming. Well, that time appears to be here now.

My most sincere apologies for the multi-posts. I kept getting that dam*ed “Server Unavailable” message.
Are you kidding me? You need to take a good look at how this happened.
I pray for that but I fear that if McCain is our choice then God is about to judge our nation.
I say that this country is in for a ugly 40 years if not longer! The Republican Party is finished, and U.S. conservatism will also follow the Republican Party to almost non-existence. Leftist politicians in the majority allowing both full enactment of the Fairness Doctrine as well as legally allowing illegal immigrants throughout the U.S. the right to vote in all future U.S. elections will help kill off U.S. conservatism for awhile.
Man...am I good at this or what?
Well, the bottom line is you’re wrong. The Republican party is still a pro-life conservative party and the pro-abortion RINO candidates have been soundly rejected by the GOP primary voters.
Thank God!
I don't mean to attack you, and you are certainly not the only one who has said it... But this is an AWSOME statement you just made. And people wonder why Social-Conservatives did not give a second look to Fred Thompson? And why we feel we are so incredibly divided with 'other' conservatives?
Just a reflexion of how different the two groups are... incredible.
I can see that this is going to require therapy. Did you not see my comment that I’m against abortion? Man get a brain! Being a pro-life conservative party means very little when you are not in power! Are you going to be happy with Clinton or Obama? Get a grip...
Pro-life bump!
Salvation,
Look at my byline: good intentions are not enough. I have been against abortion since the Rowe v Wade decision. It is not good enough to have the right ideas you have to put them into motion. When you just state slogans you put yourself into the same company as those on the radical left. If Clinton or Obama win, the battle against abortion will be set back AT LEAST 20 YEARS! Think about it!
