I don't think so Steve. If that were the case Gerald Ford would have received more votes than Ronald Reagan in 1976: he didn't. If that were the case the party platform would have it's prolife planks struck: they are there.
I do recognize the type of Republican this article speaks of. One of the characteristics the author does not touch on is that almost without exception they are a little to good to serve their country in uniform
This has been a characteristic of the "Kevin Raye/Jeb Bradley" style of Young-Republican I have been watching for a long while.
Try reading Msg#18, Msg#23, etc.
And, as I say when I see someone who doesn't distinguish between "to", "too", and "two" -- "Et tu?"
