"I disagree with your methods as they are too dangerous for the battles we are facing."
Vicomte13's method is to point out a dangerous blind spot, and how to avoid going over a cliff as a result. How would giving the "fence" (and not just a partial one) to this group, in order to avoid a big problem in the fall and possibly 2008, be dangerous for the battles we are facing? It would heal a dangerous rift, just as Alito's nomination healed a dangerous rift.
I have not even mentioned the fence. I would love a fence and I will fight for it - but I will not throw in the towel and give my vote to a democrat for anything.
I am talking about those that threaten to quit if they do not get their way. Or those that want to teach the GOP a lesson by making them lose.
People like that will just move to another issue and do the same.
They are quitters and that is their only power. They do not stand and fight - they stick the GOP in the eye on any particular point not going their way. We don't need those tactics.
We need people who are fighting the dems and the destruction of this country. And, the only ones subject to getting into office and fighting for our side are the Republicans even though many are worthless.
I don't appreciate conservatives gambling with the future of my country.
