New blood with the Fred message.

And we’d get a lot of Fred with that package.

Oh Wait! It might not be a dream!

GO FRED! GO!!!

But, if Fred is set against running for POTUS (:() then I would LOVE to have him as chair! Go Fred!

You won’t win any elections if you run as a one issue pro-life candidate. In the end you will get stuck with nothing but Obama’s and Pelosi’s meaning The Free Choice act will pass with ease and abortion on demand will be the order of the day; all because certain pro-lifers couldn’t take a measured stand.

Personally, I am against ALL abortions, but Daemonocracy is right about this one. There have been many polls out showing that a small minority want “abortion on demand” (in all stages of pregnancy, for any reason), a somewhat larger minority want to outlaw ALL abortions, regardless of circumstances, but majorities will support banning abortions except in case of rape or incest.

Every time a pro-life politician comes out against ALL abortions, Planned Parenthood and NARAL trot out some teenage rape victim, or a girl raped by her father, to say that she shouldn’t have her life ruined, be prevented from going to college, etc., by the man who abused her. So mushy-middle voters (mostly women) feel sorry for the poor girl, and vote for the Democrats.

The truth is that only a very small fraction of women undergoing abortions are rape and incest victims, but they are used as the excuse for keeping abortion legal.

Another frequently-used tactic is trotting out a single pregnant girl whose boyfriend either ditched her when he found out she was pregnant, or would continue to “love” her if she got an abortion. (Sarah Palin’s daughter and her fiance break the mold here!) The way around this is for Republican candidates to propose Federally-funded foster-care nurseries for babies given up for adoption, and an overhaul of the excessively restrictive regulations on adoption, so that adoptive parents don’t have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to “buy” an adopted child.

If the goal is to reduce the number of abortions and maximize the number of saved babies, we need to (a) advocate banning abortion except in cases of rape and incest; and (b) facilitate care and adoption of unwanted babies to give unmarried pregnant women a REAL “choice”–either care for her baby, or give it to someone who will. With this position, we can WIN elections on this issue, and cut the number of abortions by 90% or more.

Really? What are her domestic policy positions? experience?

First of all, there’s no chance of her doing it so this is really a moot point. But sure, she’s tough as nails. That’s the main reason. We need someone with a backbone. That, and I would like to see her as a leading voice in the Republican Party.

Condi lost me when she teared up (with happiness) over O!’s victory.

I agree with the strong sentiments against Obama’s views. But I completely understand why she, and most African-Americans, would be moved to tears. A lot of African-Americans never truly believed from the bottom of their heart that they would live to see a black man become president. It’s sad they felt that way, but it’s reality.

Fred is older, as is Newt, but both men do have a way of energizing the youth despite their outer shells of grey hair and wrinkling skin. I know Newt said on Hannity that he would support and be willing to work with whomever is the RNC Chair, and that in my opinion is a good thing.

For some reason I flinch when I hear people discussing older members of our party as if they should be tossed aside as last years Santa Claus goodies left under the Christmas tree. To me, part of the reason we are having these problems is because we have devalued the history, and knowledge that does come from our older leaders. Newt is a historical fountain constantly overflowing, and a much needed force in our party. I think the label of old should actually read RINO or moderates. Those are the reasons for our failures. On top of our not fighting tooth and nail those idiots that took over our party.

The last real Conservative President was Reagan and if he was still around we would certainly be seeking his advice and wisdom. In actuality it is the fault of those like McCain and the Establishment in the party that has stopped the voices of Conservatism from being heard. I do not want age to be a reason we reject someone. Our Founding Fathers were not exactly spring chickens, and God knows they were awesome when it comes to good ideas! I am in my 40’s, and I guess I am a little sensitive to the term “old” and the fact that some in our society seem to devalue our elderly population. My parents and grandparent get smarter by the day! LOL!

Hannity just said he is supporting Steele for the RNC chair. So shall it be said and so shall it be done. Fred will be out.

How about we get re-elected again, taking the Presidency and both Houses of Congress before we go around shoving our soiled abortion panties in everyone’s face?

How about that, huh?

I couldn’t agree more edgehead.

Jeez. You guys really do want to send this party back to 1964, don’t you?

I’d rather it returned to 1864, which was the era of “Free to Labor” and the Radical Republican.

A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting?
