The GOP treats conservatives, especially those of us who are outspoken about social conservatism, exactly the same way that the Democrats treat minorities. They want us for the votes, but expect us to shut up afterward.
I have no intention of ever voting for a politician again just because of the letter after his or her name. The last presidential election where there was a genuine difference between the candidates was 1984, I can no longer allow myself to believe that ANY of the losing candidates (Dukakis, Bush, Dole, Gore, Kerry, McCain, Romney) would have governed in a way that is discernibly different than the winning candidate. The GOP want EXACTLY THE SAME THING as the Democrats, they both want big government with socialized medicine, out-of-control spending, high taxes, etc.; the only thing they are arguing about is who gets to take the credit for it.
” The GOP has NEVER been pro-life or conservative in any way, for that matter. Sure there are conservative pro-life Republicans, but the party isn’t and never has been.

Worth a repost!
BUMP
The main problem is that few seem to understand what “pro-life” or “conservative” even mean any more, at the core. They have no foundation of understanding, so they’re building on shifting sand.
