I, for one, would be pleased if you’d pursue the question of abortion expanded into an essay herein blogged.
Also, ignore D.W., he’s being petulant.

To thy own self be true....if winning at the cost of your souls is what your after, I am sure you will reach your goal...... I would rather be a member of a political party, consisting of one member (myself) than to sell my soul and "play ball" with the folks who want to keep principles out of politics because they want to win...... People like you probably put McCain on the ballot.....you are neither hot nor cold and I spew you out of my mouth........ People like you vote for the lesser of two evils, not the right.....only a coward does not stand up for what is right, when he knows what is right. Better to die a thousands deaths on earth than be king of hell. SeanF-

You are a pathetic coward……..

In ethics sure but not in politics" No, don't tell me, politics aint ethical nor principled? Here I thought it was just because of the money involved but now I know there is a little glass encased box in the Federal Edifice of our esteemed Beltway ...standing meekly next to the fire axe and inside are little scrolls with "Principles " and "Ethics" printed on them with a sign on the glass box admonishing us to "Break Only In an Emergency". Get elected and one gets a Get-Out-Of-Principles-and-Ethics-Free card. And here I thought they were all just a bunch of crooks and liars but now I know its lawful. I'm so relieved. “Principles have little place in politics. In ethics sure but not in politics”

If for those who already agree with you, it's a waste of time. They already agree with you. And a jeremediad like this isn't going to change the mind of someone who doesn't agree with you. Not even those like myself, who grew up in the anti-abortion camp before switching sides. I can tell you this: principles have little place in politics. In ethics, sure, but not in politics. At least if you want to win. An attitude like yours will do to the GOP nationally, what it did to the party in California. The GOP can't survive without social conservatives like you. But it may not be able to win with them either. Caleb,

Sabin Fri, 15 May 2009 00:44:21 +0000 http://www.frontporchrepublic.com/?p=3259#comment-2793 I think I saw somewhere, maybe some truck stop stall..oh , wait a minute, I think it was on the R.R. overpass at Wall and 22nd , it said "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You". I thought this a rather interesting and timeless bit of graffiti and wondered what really modern and trendy person might have thought of it. Seemed like it pretty well summed it all up and boy, it sure is a good thing somebody had finally come up with such a good bit of advice. What will they think of next? That said, keep my libido out of this, it behaves and rather enjoys itself dammit.
