From another post:

Look whats going on in the GOP:

At the GOP Convention website, they've set up a webpage where ordinary folks like us can give input on what WE think should be the most important issues for the Republican Party this year. To do this, there is a drop-down menu which lists 20 different issues (including "other"). You can click on the issue which is "most important to you". With your input, they say, the party "will be well on our way to defining the GOP vision for America's tomorrows."

Sounds great. But if you look closer, you'll notice there are a few issues missing from the list they provide you to choose from... specifically, the issues that are most important to the GOP's conservative base!

There's no selection for "abortion" or "pro-life". There's no selection for "Second Amendment" or "guns". There's no selection for "immigration". There's no selection for "family" or "marriage". There's no selection for "religious liberty".

WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKING? Without its conservative base, there would be NO Republican Party to begin with!

With Mr. Keyes in the Media constantly, we ARE hearing about these issues, something that I believe is important, not just for Illinois but for the entire Country. Keyes makes this race into a national race and his trouncing of Obama in the media daily and in the debates, will be national wupbutt on the democrats.

I believe its time to line up shoulder to shoulder at the line of scrimmage.
imho

There's no selection for "abortion" or "pro-life". There's no selection for "Second Amendment" or "guns". There's no selection for "immigration". There's no selection for "family" or "marriage". There's no selection for "religious liberty".

This is the Republican Convention. There wasn't any selection for those things at the Democrat convention either, because the two parties have pretty much taken their stands on these issues.

Is religious liberty an issue? Aren't the Democrats for it for everyone except Christians? Aren't the Republicans for it for everyone except horny gay Priests and gay Episcopal Bishops?
