That's fine, Rad.

But some take the pro-life stance to such an extreme that they would rather lose an election than to have a pro-choice candidate.

I'd NEVER vote for a pro-abortion canidate (same thing as "pro-choice" you know that right?)

One issue does not make or break a candidate in my eyes. Especially if the issue is abortion.

It does for me</font>[/quote]Okay, name the last candidate you voted for.

Rad,

You KNOW I'm no pro-choicer, but I've got to say that I'd rather have a moderate Rep than a liberal Dem any day of the week...

I consider a "pro-choice" Republican election loss to be a <u>good</u> thing. Why?

1) Because "pro-choice" Republican candidates have no morals anyway; as they only care about their own money.

2) The more elections that pro-abortion Republicans win, the more Karl Rove & Co. will try to infiltrate conservative states with <u>even more</u> pro-abortion Republicans.

So if the Republican candidate is pro-abortion, LET THEM LOSE! Who cares?

I suspect a troll. The Karl Rove comment gave you away - Democrats *hate* Karl Rove, as Hannity often points out. Uh, "pro-choice" Republicans care only about their own money? What?

How is abortion the make-or-break issue for whether someone is a Republican or not? Schwartzenegger still won. I know lots of people who're ethically sound in most ways - but still unfortunately are pro-choice. I see it as a black and white kind of wrong - but most people in America no longer do.

I've got to point out the obvious here. We're nowhere near close to repealing abortion rights in this country. I wouldn't realistically expect it in ten to twenty years, at least. Abortion is the make or break issue for you? That's great, but its a stagnant issue. Its too evenly divided in *every branch* of government and even the public, so it won't go away tomorrow. Its evil, yes - but it won't go away easily or soon.

And in that meantime, a pro-choice Republican can do a whole lot more good for you than a pro-choice Democrat. And maintaining a Republican majority in Congress and a Republican President (who can appoint Supreme Court justices) will if nothing else get you closer to repealing abortion than just peeing on everyone who's pro-choice. There's more than one tree in this forest.

He won because Californicate is full of RINO'S

[TXNavy]

Okay, I give, what's a RINO?

[Radical Conservative]

Republican in name only

Ah. Now I see.

Well, that's not really what happened here. Its indeed majority Democrat. Believe me, I'm surrounded by them. There are pockets of conservatism, like places just outside of LA, but by sheer numbers they have us beat.

What happened was the moderate and centrist Democrats realized the leftist ideas of the government weren't working and voted Republican. Check that - they were hopping mad to pay ridiculous car taxes on top of everything else in this state. A value meal at Wendy's costs me 50% more than it did in Texas. Its much the same situation as when Reagan was elected. The Democrats would like to characterize it as a "Republican power grab," but that's simply not what happened, regardless of who started the recall. A large number of their own party are fed up with it and quit voting left wing.

This is a post-2000 voting trend I think we'll see elsewhere, as we've already seen in Mississippi and Kentucky this year. Those states couldn't have come over to us without a substantial number of Democrats voting for us. More and more Americans are educated about money and taxes and the economy, and realize that the Democrat taxes don't only affect some no-name super-rich class off in the ether, and they're getting more irate with it every day.
