Didn't say the MSM has just invented the issue -- it's their staple issue to use against Conservatives.

I have no idea what you mean unless you're under the mistaken believe that you can somehow be a conservative (or a Republican for that matter) if you are not against abortion. The Republican Party platform is pretty clear on the matter.

All I said is the middle cheese said there is a lot of resistance amongst Senate Conservatives -- Spector as chair is not a foregone conclusion.

We know this. And we're doing what we can to foment that resistance to ensure that Specter does NOT get the chairman slot.

One more time -- I am against all forms of abortion -- period.

You need to realize that a majority vote does not mean a majority of all people agree with you on ALL issues. It is also a fact that we need to form majority coalitions by going outside our normal support groups.

A successful majority coalition on any issue takes all comers, regardless their stripes. For the longest while, Conservatives have not done this. When Auhnold ran for Governator, Conservatives held their noses and voted for him. A good plan. Much better than CA Conservatives meeting in a phone booth at Joe's bar. Now look what it has done for us overall. We have to open up and allow others to join us without compromising our core values -- Else we will surely lose.
