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.
You know what would satisfy me? An admission by the GOP that the Right to Life is a NON-ISSUE. Barbara Bush was right ... it's long past time the Pro-Life plank was removed. There is no reason for the Party to pretend it's at all interested in maintaining a wholly hypocritical "pro-life" position.
Instead of squandering its moral capital for wholly negligible legislation -- packaged with the right slogans so as to "sound good" and make folks feel they accomplished something -- the GOP should concentrate its efforts on issues they can "win". Issues like the Economy, Security and Prosperity which not only mean something to its party members but have an across-the-board Market Appeal.
