This is what our party stands for. If we don't stand up for our own principles, no one will.
Our flagbearer is a flawed individual (and they always are). Our principles are what we stand for regardless of who is up there on the podium. Its just this time, if we've learned anything, we know we can't afford to go on auto-pilot between elections. We have to fight the marxists and then we have the fight the Boehners too. Its a full-time job.
Hey, the democrats think that's a winner for them and all they have to do is step up the propaganda on The Republican War on Women©.
To the true conservatives on this web site; how about fighting the democrats and media on this for, say, about the next 3 (not even) months? After all, isn't this plank one of the very things you wanted but were sure you weren't going to get?
Bear in mind ...the last part of that isn’t true.
