You are right it is a key swing vote. The real goal is to get it over as a consistent base vote. If that happens the "blue blood" Pubs lose even more power and the party as a whole becomes more consistently conservative.

And the ONLY WAY that happens, and the ONLY WAY to keep devout Catholics and Evangelicals energized, is for conservatives to actually follow through on the promises they made when campaigning.

We can criticize the left all we want, but when the Democrats make a promise on the campaign trail, they either deliver on the promise or destroy themselves trying to.

We have a big disadvantage for a couple reasons. For the Rats govt is the means of implementing their ideology, which is their religion. For us govt is a means to accomplish specific goals and to protect our individual freedoms. Our faith is not in our political ideology, or in govt. As result Rats feel free to lie, cheat, steal and do whatever needs to be done because in the end they are advancing their faith/ideology and their faith has no moral limitations. We are constrained by our faith.

Also, academia, media and most of our popular culture is dominated by the PC culture which muzzles any dissenting opinion.

The weapon we have is our faith and our assembly with others of the same faith. The left knows it and is even willing to align itself with muslims in order to attack us. However, our problem is getting all to recognize who the enemy is, the Rats. If the RCC makes that big shift over to the right and stays there the Rats are in real trouble and the "moderate Pubs" as well.
