1) If the GOP continues coddling the homo agenda, I'll have no choice. 2)The GOP will most likely go neutral on abortion by 2008, pulling its pro-life plank. 3) Bush already caved on the biggest Second Amendment issue of his reign.

There's not much holding social conservatives in the GOP. If they go soft on guns, gays, and abortion, why the hell should I stay?

"Why the hell should I stay?"

Because you can't win. It's the old half loaf being better than no loaf theory. Okay, maybe you're only getting a quarter loaf. That's still better than no loaf. Politics is now and always has been about choosing the lesser of two evils. I'm not particularly in love with the GOP myself, but it sure beats the alternative.

Justice John Paul Stevens was nominated by President Gerald Ford - a Republican. Uh, Ford is a moderate to left member of the Republican Party who bowed to the demands of a democrat controlled Jusge approval process.

Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy were nominated by President Ronald Reagan - a Republican. And who controlled the Senate then?

Justice David Souter was nominated by President George H.W. Bush - a Republican. And our current president's father should have his butt kicked for that error!

Two-thirds of the majority opinion were Republican-appointed! All the more reason to demand that Frist get cahonies and bust the democrat leftist filibustering of conservative judges! What you folks seem to miss is the purposed effort to divide the pubbies and allow the dying democrats to regain some control! Wake up! The real results will come from even larger pubby numbers in House and Senate, and the Senate showing some courage in facing down the damn destructive democrats! Threatening to act in a way that will return control to the societal engineering leftist party of democrats isn't gonna get one damn thing out of the career politician pubbies or democrats. You know why?... Because it fosters the notion that there is no consensus in America so every man should do what is right in his own political survival, which means compromising our national interests to get re-elected locally.

You didn't see a problem with the law in that it was legal for a man and woman to do it but wrong for two men? It was a bad law...

Slap yourself and get a grip on reality, your hystrionics are embarrassing. You try to seriously claim the GOP is going to drop its pro-life stance, but you completely forget that only a few weeks ago a PBA ban was FINALLY passed, because we finally got a GOP controlled House and Senate. My what short memories. Let one thing go wrong, and all of a sudden the "what have you done for me in the last second" whiners come pouring out of the woodwork.

"Manna, manna, all we have is manna. Why were brought into the wilderness to die? Was it better for us to continue to suffer in Egypt?"

But hey, just go flying off the handle with ya'll's emotions, maybe ya'll can build a 3rd party golden calf.

Then you might as well go and register as a democrat. After all, you'll be doing them as much good as you would if you directly voted for them. Besides, if you don't have the stomach for a fight, we'd be better off without you. We need people who are actually willing to do something (that isn't destructive).

You can't change the minds of politicians until you change the minds of the people. Ranting here on FR doesn't do anything, get out there and change minds in your neighborhood, the church, the schools. Otherwise, just become a democrat and be honest about your agenda.

Because you'll elect a Democrat...sarcasm off. What difference does it make? They seem to have lost the concept of being 'elected' to office to serve the people, not business interests and every minority agenda they can come up with. Why elect someone who is unprincipled? The thing lost on the diehard Republicans is that principle doesn't matter, just that they're boy wins...and in the process we all lose. It's a win-win for the extreme Left no matter which party is in office.
