she's been around here long enough to know what threads are appropriate for battle.

Oh ... I'm to know better than to seize on Muth's inherently leftist advice as -- where the Right to Life is concerned -- he hands out water guns with which to combat the cannon balls of the Deathists?

Askel, you go on and post whatever you feel like. It's up to the casual observer to determine if you're doing so in the right place.

If you want to get into a knock-down, drag out argument over your pet issue on a thread where tactics are being discussed (as opposed to content), then you're only proving Muth's points about the fact that there is a segment of voters who will prove a waste of time and treasure because they're impossible to ever fully satisfy.

Give it a rest. Your passion for defending "the cause" is blinding you to the fact that you are alienating people that otherwise agree with you in principle.

We all know where you are coming from, but you certainly don't know where Mr. Muth was coming from as you weren't there at the conference to catch the full context of his comments (although several conference attendees have tried to explain Murth's intent.)

The key point of why Mr. Muth brought up the abortion issue is that it is a devisive issue that needlessly divides people that otherwise would work together politically. And having your candidate get at least 1 more vote than his opponent is how we control policy and get conservative judges appointed.

Being "dead right" (losing the election but keeping moral purity) is not a goal to aspire to. Being in a political winning position to effect your desired change in policy is.
