Actually, I'd call you a Republican. RINOs are Conservatives (such as the ones who frequent FR) that vote R when faced with the prospect of electing someone like Hillary!
The reason the Republican party is NOT the Conservative party, nor holds many conservative ideals, is that approximately 50% of registered Republicans are female.
When it comes to women, no matter how pro-life they are in philosophy, when push comes to shove, they are all pro-choice. I've seen high-level women in the Calif R party basically say that if the party moves any more rightward, they'll vote D.
It's no surprise some of the biggest Rudy supporters at FR (alive & banned) are women. The basic reality is that women are preventing the R party from moving anymore rightward.
Until Conservatives recognize that fact, they will either have to vote 3rd party, or once again become RINOs as they vote for whoever the GOP puts on the ticket.

Well then the solution is obvious. Repeal the 19th ammendment!! That would solve alot of our problems!!:)

Prove it. Show us the stats and where you got your information.
What a bunch of sexist crap. There are plenty of woman pro-lifers on this forum and they are NOT pro-choicers (read pro-murderers) in disguise. They are not the reason the Republican party is not more conservative than it is.
Oh, Chuckie boy, you are so wrong about Catholic women. There are many many many Catholic women who are true conservatives and who vote conservative.
Your comment has several of us up in arms. I suggest you go to the Religion Forum to check on a few Catholic women — then look them up in the postings that they do.
You will see that many — if not all — post conservative items. FYI, I am going to post another list of Natural Family Planning links. Please educate yourself!

I would use a better choice of the word “all”. Most of the people I know in the Pro-Life movement are, in fact, women. Woman of child bearing age. I’ve seen teenagers and young adult women very active in the pro-life movement. The executive director and board president of my state right to life are women. And the people who I see as sidewalk counselors at the abortion mills are women.
I do agree with the statement that many female republicans are, in fact, pro abortion. And, sadly I’ve noticed that many of the pro-abortion FReepers are women. The basic right, premise and foundation of the republican party or conservatism is the unalienable right to Life. There are no exceptions and until they realize this, they are ruining their souls and the republican party. If they are in the republican party, they should read the platform of the republican party and follow it.
